The following day, she criticized former President Donald Trump’s actions during his time in office. On August 3, 2025, she wrote: “Donald Trump is using the presidency to make himself richer — all while raising prices for the American people. He only cares about himself. https://t.co/vXeOsMUhMj”.
Later that same day, Jayapal addressed changes to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), stating: “Trump is dismantling the CFPB — an agency that has returned $21 BILLION to consumers and stood up to corporate greed. Democrats used this agency to fight for working people. Republicans are tearing it apart to give back to billionaires. Let’s break down some examples https://t.co/bKkIagmGRc”.
