Congressman Byron Donalds, representing Florida's 19th district, has been vocal on social media about his political views and criticisms. Known for his straightforward approach, Donalds has shared several statements that highlight his perspective on current political matters.

In a tweet posted on March 5, 2025, Donalds commented on what he perceives as the decline of entrenched interests in Washington D.C., stating, "What you are witnessing are the final gasps of the Washington Swamp. Their protests are childish. Their interests are self-serving. And THEIR TIME IS UP. We are putting the AMERICAN PEOPLE FIRST AGAIN whether they like it or not."

Continuing his series of posts on the same day, Donalds addressed cultural and educational issues, asserting that "There are only two genders" and advocating for merit-based systems and patriotism in education: "This is NOT CONTROVERSIAL. This is COMMON-SENSE. Under President Trump, we are Making Common-Sense, Common Again."

In another tweet from March 5, 2025, he raised concerns about federal spending oversight by referring to an audit conducted by DOGE (Department of Government Expenditure), highlighting expenditures such as "$1.2B in awards to undisclosed recipients" and funds allocated to various initiatives including ESG investments and public health.
