Congressman Michael Cloud of Texas’s 27th district shared his views and data on social media, touching on issues such as government efficiency, border security, and the America-First policy. Cloud, who succeeded Blake Farenthold in 2018, represents his district with a focus on these topics.
On April 2, 2025, Cloud discussed an administrative action by the Trump administration, stating that "Effective and efficient government requires basic common sense. While simple, this is a serious and important fix by the Trump Admin." He emphasized the need for straightforward governance to enhance governmental operations.
Later the same day, Congressman Cloud provided statistics regarding changes in border security under the Trump administration. He highlighted, "March 2024: 189,372 border encounters. March 2025: 7,181 border encounters. That’s a 96% drop in a short 3 months under President Trump—restoring order and securing our borders is what Americans voted for—all we needed was a new President." Cloud suggested that a policy shift was instrumental in this reported decline.
Finally, reinforcing the America-First agenda, Cloud stated, "America-First means putting the American people first. We will no longer be taken advantage of as a nation and people." This statement was made in the context of advocating for prioritizing national interests.
