Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey’s 12th district, recently shared her views on social media regarding several pressing issues. Her comments focused on trade policy, privacy concerns, and appointments within the State Department.
On February 3, 2025, Rep. Watson Coleman criticized former President Donald Trump's trade policy. She stated: "We are seeing already the disastrous consequences of Trump's childish, short-sighted, and plain dumb trade policy." She further accused Trump of backtracking due to pressure from billionaires with stock market interests.
Later that day, she addressed privacy concerns among her constituents: "My office has been receiving calls all morning from constituents outraged that an unelected billionaire was given access to their personal information."
