His recent posts have drawn attention to financial expenditures and economic conditions under different administrations.

On January 28, 2025, Rep. Hunt expressed his gratitude towards the Trump Administration for preventing Americans from spending on what he considers "reckless and ridiculous concepts." He cited a specific example of "$50 million for condoms in Gaza" as an expenditure avoided due to this administration's policies. "Thanks to the Trump Administration: Americans will no longer be forced to waste their money on reckless and ridiculous concepts."

Later that day, Rep. Hunt criticized President Joe Biden’s handling of the economy, particularly focusing on inflation. He attributed rising prices across the country to what he described as "reckless spending" by the current administration, emphasizing that this has impacted all goods nationwide. "Joe Biden didn’t just break Egg Prices, he broke everything."

He noted that a leader of the 'Tren de Aragua' gang was taken into ICE custody and mentioned that this individual is one among thousands being deported for violent crimes against the United States in that week alone."A ‘Tren de Aragua’ Gang Leader is now in ICE Custody."
