President Donald Trump stated during a Wednesday meeting in the Oval Office with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. “has now become a Palestinian.”
Trump said this while criticizing Democrats for their reactions to last week’s joint congressional address.
“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,” Trump said.
Schumer holds the record for being the most senior Jewish official elected in American history. Trump made the comment when he was responding to a question from a reporter about tax cuts.
We are planning on lowering taxes. Yeah. “If the Democrats behave,” Trump declared, after condemning outbursts from Democrats and disruptive behavior during his first speech to Congress.
Trump took particular issue with the Democrats’ behavior when he acknowledged the mothers of women killed by illegal immigrants. He also celebrated a boy with cancer who became an honorary Secret Service Agent.
The Democrats were only happy when they learned about the deaths that took place in Ukraine.
Trump used the term “Pocahontas” to describe Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
“These people are sick. They don’t know what’s happening in the real world. The Democrats have to get their act together, and if they don’t vote, then what?” Trump said. “You’re going to have taxes that are going to go through the roof. You’re going to have a very bad time. You’re going to have some very bad things happen and people are going to blame the Democrats.”
Trump had been asked whether a scheduled meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin was in the works. He refused to comment, but he praised the U.S.-Ukraine negotiations in Saudi Arabia.
“We had a great success yesterday. We have a full cease-fire when it, if it kicks in, we have to see, it’s up to Russia now. But we’ve had a good relationship with both parties,” Trump said. “People are going to Russia right now as we speak, and hopefully, we can get a ceasefire from Russia. And if we do, I think that would be 80% of the way to getting this horrible bloodbath- and it’s a bloodbath that is taking place over there.”
Trump stated that, on average, between 2,000 to 3,000 youths are killed each week in the Ukraine/Russia conflict.
Trump repeated that his presidency at the time would not have allowed the terrorist attack on Israel in 2023 to take place.
Trump stated that he had received some positive signals from Putin in the past, but that a message is worthless.
“This is a very serious situation. This is a situation that could lead to World War Three, and Biden should have never let it happen,” Trump said. “Incompetence allowed this to happen. This shouldn’t have happened. October 7th in the Middle East should have never happened with Israel. The horrible way they left Afghanistan should have never happened. Inflation should have never happened.”
