Congressman Byron Donalds, who represents Florida's 19th district in the U.S. Congress, has shared his views on several national issues through a series of tweets. Donalds has been vocal about various topics including national symbols, trade policies, and fiscal responsibility.

On February 13, 2025, Congressman Donalds expressed his support for the One Flag For All Act proposed by Representative Diana Harshbarger. He stated that "The flag of the United States should NEVER be overshadowed by other partisan symbols." The bill seeks to prohibit the display of any flag other than the United States flag at public buildings.

Later on the same day, he commented on international trade practices under President Trump’s administration. In a tweet posted at 19:25 UTC, he emphasized that "We will no longer tolerate being ripped-off by the rest of the world." He highlighted the introduction of reciprocal tariffs as part of efforts to prioritize American interests.

In another post on February 13, 2025, at 23:09 UTC, Congressman Donalds addressed concerns about national debt levels. He mentioned that "We're $36T in debt." He urged his colleagues in Congress to address what he described as "insane & untenable overspending," warning that failure to do so could impede Americans' pursuit of their dreams.
