Trump Wildly Attacks Chuck Schumer: ‘Totally Against Jewish People’

President Donald Trump spoke on Thursday from the White House to pitch his “Big, Beautiful” budget bill and his remarks with a wild attack on Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Schumer, the former Senate majority leader and current minority leader, is the country’s highest-ever-ranking Jewish leader, who Trump claimed is “totally against Jewish people.”

“We’re ruling with common sense, you know, whether you’re conservative or liberal or, as they like to say, “progressive.” They don’t like the word “liberal” anymore. “Progressive”—I think it’s a beautiful word, too. That’s why I call them “liberal.” It’s too nice a word. I don’t know how you can be progressive when you’re turning the country backwards. But no matter what you are, it’s all about common sense. And I think that’s the way I’ve ruled,” Trump ranted, adding:

I do what’s right. I want to have borders. I don’t want transgender for anybody that happens to leave the house at a young age—the things they do. I don’t want to have men playing in women’s sports. That’s got to be—you know, they say it’s an 80-20 [issue]. I think it’s a 97-3 issue. It’s so ridiculous. It’s so ridiculous.

There was a long-distance race the other day, or at least reasonably recently, and they had a top man and they had a top woman, but it was a woman’s race. And the man entered—he happened to be transitioned, isn’t that lovely—and he entered the race and he beat the champion woman by five hours and 14 seconds. Five hours—that’s a lot! Think of it: you’re waiting five hours for your beautiful daughter to come in. “Come on, baby, let’s go. You can do it.” He won by five hours and 14 seconds. It is crazy, and it’s so demeaning, and they don’t want to change.

I see it the other day. Guys like Schumer—our great Palestinian senator, this guy. No, he’s changed. He used to like Jewish people. Now he’s totally against Jewish people. It’s the most incredible transformation I think I’ve ever seen.

But who would allow this to happen? In other sports, the same thing. Try the weightlifting numbers someday. You want to see some big differences. In a million years, the women will never catch these numbers. It’s not going to happen. And it’s very demeaning to women. And I don’t like it when it’s demeaning to women, so we’re turning the country around fast. We love you all. Thank you very much, and good luck. Thank you.

Trump has long attacked Schumer by invoking his Jewish faith, regularly claiming that Democrats who are not in lock step with his policies on Israel are somehow anti-Jewish. “And Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I’m concerned. You know, he’s become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He’s not Jewish anymore. He’s a Palestinian. Okay,” Trump said of Schumer in May.
