Today from Mark Alford (r):

Congressman Mark Alford
[July 29, 2025]
Can’t stop, won’t stop WINNING!
These historic trade agreements from President Donald J. Trump deliver landmark investments in U.S. industries & finally put Americans FIRST.
[….]

Some of the responses:

Cuts to local Food Banks has decreased the amount of food available.

Do..do you know how tariffs work?

He obviously does not or just believes that his constituents are idiots.

a whole lot are sadly. Like real real dumb.

Why is Walmart raising its prices? My Folgers 33oz coffee went from $16 to $20 due to the tariffs. Twenty bucks for a container of coffee.

you are aware that coffee is not grown in America? I hope you don’t like wearing clothes because almost all garments are shipped to the USA from other countries for decorating.

You’re just needlessly paying more for goods and thanking Trump for the privilege.

And, we don’t have U.S. suppliers! If you think Trump is bringing manufacturing and farming back to the U.S. you are truly naive.
U.S. farmers are already hurting, thanks in part to losing the majority of their labor force.
Regarding manufacturing, we live in a GLOBAL economy. Nothing is PURELY Made In America, as parts and supplies for products come from all over the world.
Good god, man! Do you know nothing???

Tariffs like all of their policies do nothing but put the burden on the people buying the goods i.e. you and I and everyone that purchases goods made or assembled elsewhere. It is a TAX and we pay it. no more no less. Problem is the indoctrinated believe that the country sending the goods or assembling them are being taxed and nothing could be further from the truth. Just like Mexico will pay for the wall. [….]

Mark would you name the infrastructure projects you have proposed in your district

I’d like to know Congressman Mark Alford’s plan for the 2 hospitals that will close in the 4th District due to his Big BS Bill becoming law.

[….] it’s the same old plan. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and hope you don’t die on the 2 hour trip to the nearest hospital. Then, if you make it in time, hope the hospital doesn’t bankrupt you.

My money bet is, Mark Alford has absolutely no clue how anything in the 4th would be impacted by his Big BS Bill. No clue. He’s not smart enough.

The CEO of the [….] hospital [….] gave an interview on CNN where he decried the BBB cuts, as 4 out of every 5 patients admitted to that hospital are on Medicaid. Think of what the Medicaid cuts are going to do not only to that hospital, but the entire surrounding area – jobs, economy, tax base, etc.

I see no answers to any questions here. Maybe Mark has a concept of a plan to answer our questions. 🙄

Congressman Mark Alford is clueless. I believe he either posts his bullshit and runs, or has one of his “staff” drop the posts, and not knowing what they are posting or saying walk away with him. Either way they seem scared to engage in two way communication…

These are concepts of a plan, no hard, signed documents, just frameworks.

Please explain to your constituents how exporting energy (LNG) is a positive policy…we’re all ears spin doctor.

And nothing is signed yet.

If I was winning so much, I’d be having huuuuge town halls at all the biggest venues in my district. Instead, Alford is hiding out in little towns at even smaller coffee shops.

I agree. In one tiny town I know he’s scheduled for maybe an hour in an old building that would hold maybe 30 packed in tightly counting his “team” of course.

And, one of them is scheduled on a Monday morning.

yeah, it’s not for working people.

You’re going to have such fun at your upcoming town halls…

None of these have been signed and approved by Congress, just concepts of plans.

Congress doesn’t matter anymore. The GOP wiped their as$ with the Constitution and handed the entire thing over to the Orange Russian, lock, stock, and barrel. Congress is irrelevant.

U.S. automakers will be raising the prices on vehicles made in Mexico and Canada and parts they use from these countries to cover the 25 percent tariff. Trump’s big shitty deal with Japan only has a 15 percent tariff on their cars. Made a similiar deal with Britain. How is that helping American manufacturing or buyers?

This isn’t how tariffs work you idiot
Thanks for ruining the economy even further. I love having no hope for our future.

Procter & Gamble announced it will raise prices on about 25% of its U.S. products starting in August as it works to offset rising tariff-related expenses.

These are possibilities… not done deals…might want to let your constituents know that.

Are these funds to cancel the 4 trillion debt from the One Big Beautiful Bill or to pay for the billionaire tax cuts?

You are so out of touch with voters.

Oh great, get ready for the prices of semiconductor devices, computer peripherals, automobile parts, electric machinery, textiles and garments, wheat and animal feeds, coconut oil, and information technology/business process outsourcing services to go up in the US. Thanks Mark 🙄

Will you please STOP lying to constituents?! This isnt how tariffs work at all.

Another lie from Mark Alford and the Republicans. Go figure. Just embarrassing. The Republicans and this embarrassment of an administration have no clue how to run government. Just embarrassing

Tariffs = higher prices. How is that winning???

Trumptax is gouging the citizens of this state and the country!

I’ll be waiting. So far, I’m not getting any benefit. I’d like to know if you’ve benefitted, especially since you are a bootlicker for the Grifter-in-Chief.

You’re a hack

BTW 50% tax on steel & aluminum from EU…cheaper now for Ford, Chevy etc…to manufacture in the EU , ship to the USA at 15% tariff (tax on consumers).

Tariffs suck! So, all the deals just further taxed U.S. citizens. Wonderful.

I’ve noticed these “frameworks” keep getting announced but we never see signed, long term agreements. It goes back to President Trump’s first term when he got Ford to agree not to move production to Mexico and then less than a year later Ford closed a US plant and moved production to Mexico. Businessman Trump never met a contract he wasn’t willing to break and now President Trump has made US policy completely transactional rather than durable and no one in the world can take America at its word.

Why are you so quiet about the Epstein files? Are you content with your orange emporer being a frequent flier?

The EU has already stated the 600 billion would be from private industry and they have no control over that. Sin of omission Congressman Mark Alford. Ask for penance.

Who gives a shit! Where are the Epstein files!

You mean you cannot stop fleecing American consumers.

I see we’re going to have to pay more for goods coming from the Philippines and EU. Sounds like not a win for us.
We’ll see if the investments actually materialize.
All this on top of him being on the list, along with other powerful pedos, and you’re just sitting there doing nothing about it. You are complicit. You are enabling. You’re just as guilty.

Peddling propaganda for a pedo is not a good look Mark

More taxes on the American people! Idiots!

Trying to put a bow on a turd. Bravo dipshit. And FYI, America first started with the KKK.

And who pays for those tariffs? The end consumer, which is us. Thanks for applauding our rising prices.🙄

All misleading

Can’t stop, won’t stop lying and grifting the American public. Idiot.

Raised prices from EU countries by 13%. Tariffs were 2%. Now 15%. Dumb asses pretend like consumers don’t pay tariffs.

So tell us all Little Mark
How’s the price of gas? Looks like it’s still high to most of us!
How about the price of groceries? Seems like they have all increased! Some double digit increases!
How about the price of beef? Damn have you been to a store? Ground beef alone up more that 10% last month alone!
How about home prices? Most can’t buy a home let alone rent!
Oh but Shittler did something?
Do you not understand that we the people pay all these tariffs! We pay them by price increases! We the people are sick and tired of this BS!

Release the entire Epstein FBI files
The distractions are not going to work
Americans want names and dates

Mark you support a pedophile, good to know you have zero morals as well. I guess if getting away with having sex with underage girls is winning then congratulations. I hope hell is warm enough for you.

Oh yeah and tariffs are a tax on the American people

So you approve of consumers paying higher prices? I have seen prices rise significantly!

Frameworks are not agreements, which you know. Stop spreading lies, which you won’t.

Tariffs are taxes on US consumer this is to pay for his stupid billionaire tax cut.

Clown.

While Hawley is trying to give everyone $600 back. Basically a stimulus because your stupidity

Josh Hawley (r) voted for the bill, too.

You nazis are killing citizens with your continued transfer of wealth from us. What the fuck, Mark? You work for us not the taco felon.

AMERICAN CONSUMERS PAY THE TARIFFS.
AMERICAN CONSUMERS PAY THE TARIFFS.
AMERICAN CONSUMERS PAY THE TARIFFS.

Congressman Mark Alford please tell me how this is lowering prices at the grocery store for your constituents in Cass County?!? Have you ever taken a course in economics? Tariffs are paid by the consumer!! I’m NOT winning! All my household expenses are going up and my fixed income is NOT!
Do your job! Which includes your vote to demand the release of the Epstein files! Many wealthy white men belong in prison for their crimes! Let’s see their names!

Those things help corporations. Not consumers.

Do you think we are naive enough to believe that we won’t be the consumers paying the the tariffs? Paying more for imported goods is not a win!

Why do you think we are winning when we have to pay more money for imported goods, including food that we don’t even grow in the US?
