Doris Matsui, a U.S. Congresswoman representing California's 7th district since 2005, recently shared her views on social media regarding statements made by former President Donald Trump. Matsui, who succeeded Bob Matsui in Congress and has been an active political figure for decades, expressed concerns over the fiscal policies and public statements of the Republican Party.

On March 5, 2025, Rep. Doris Matsui addressed claims made by Donald Trump concerning the Republican Party's budget plans. She stated that "Trump is claiming Republicans are going to balance the budget. Republicans don't have any actual budget plans that would do this. They have a plan to give the wealthiest Americans a tax cut."

Later that day, she continued her critique by addressing misinformation related to Social Security benefits. In another post from March 5, 2025, she asserted that "Millions of people who are dead are not receiving Social Security. Donald Trump is lying to you about Social Security because he wants to take it away." This tweet included a link providing further context.

Additionally, on March 5, 2025, Rep. Matsui commented on a speech delivered by Donald Trump during his presidency. She remarked that "Tonight, President Trump once again misled the American people with a speech riddled with falsehoods and petty grievances—further fueling the chaos that has defined the first six weeks of his Administration." Her statement was accompanied by a link offering more details.
