President Donald Trump made headlines yet again during his Oval Office meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin, launching a blistering attack on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer over his stance on Israel and his party’s handling of foreign policy.
“Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I’m concerned. He used to be Jewish. He’s not Jewish anymore,” Trump declared, slamming the Senate Democrat for what he sees as a betrayal of Israel and a complete capitulation to the radical left.
The remark comes after Trump’s fiery joint congressional address, where Democrats refused to stand for anything but more money to Ukraine, ignoring key issues like border security and domestic priorities. Schumer, who once positioned himself as a staunch defender of Israel, has drawn criticism for his increasingly lukewarm stance amid rising tensions in the Middle East.
Trump’s comments sent shockwaves through Washington, further exposing the deep divisions between Republicans and Democrats on foreign policy. While Schumer and his allies rushed to condemn the remarks, conservatives see this as yet another example of Trump’s willingness to call out hypocrisy, especially when it comes to weak leadership that threatens America’s allies.
