Lois Frankel, a U.S. Congress member representing Florida’s 22nd District since 2013, has voiced her concerns over President Trump's policies through a series of tweets. Frankel, who has been an active political figure since her tenure in the Florida House of Representatives from 1986 to 2002, used social media to address issues she perceives as threats to American citizens' welfare.

On March 5, 2025, Frankel stated: "Social Security and Veterans’ benefits are not handouts; they’re a promise, earned through work or service to our country." She criticized President Trump for allegedly proposing cuts to Social Security and the VA, which she believes would adversely affect millions of Americans. She affirmed that House Democrats would oppose such measures.

Later that day, Frankel addressed economic concerns with another tweet: "President Trump promised to lower costs." She argued that his tariffs could lead to increased expenses and accused him of providing tax cuts favoring wealthy donors at the expense of average families.

Continuing her critique on trade policies, Frankel tweeted about the potential negative impact of tariffs: "25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico, our biggest trading partners, won’t lower costs—they will devastate our economy." She expressed concern over the potential consequences for individual finances and consumer prices.
