President Donald Trump lashed out at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s scathing criticism of his Asia tour as “almost treasonous” while touting that he’d “worked really hard” and pulled “Trillions of Dollars” on his travels.

Schumer had mocked the president’s overseas schedule during a fiery speech on the Senate floor Wednesday, saying: “As we enter the 29th day of the government shutdown, where’s Donald Trump? Gallivanting in Asia, dancing in Malaysia.”

“He’s preparing now to meet with President Xi of China to strike a trade deal that will sell out the American people – giving away vital national security tools in exchange for little more than a photo op,” Schumer said.

“President Trump is about to congratulate himself, patting himself hard on the back for cleaning up a mess that he created,” the Democrat added. “It’s amazing what this guy does.”

The president, having just concluded his meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, clapped back via Truth Social:

Worked really hard, 24/7, took in Trillions of Dollars, and Chuck Schumer said the trip was ‘a total dud,’ even though he knows it was a spectacular success. Words like that are almost treasonous!!!

After the jab, the president hailed major breakthroughs on trade and fentanyl cooperation during the “truly great meeting” with Xi while announcing that he would slash tariffs he put on China by 10 percent.

Speaking aboard Air Force One after the summit at Gimhae Air Base in Busan, Trump said Beijing agreed to delay rare earth mineral restrictions for a year and resume large-scale purchases of American soybeans.

“I would say on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the best, I would say the meeting was a 12,” Trump added.
