October 2025: TRUMP PRESIDENCY Trump Rips Schumer After Admission Dems Putting Party over Country with Shutdown

Trump Rips Schumer After Admission Dems Putting Party over Country with Shutdown
"President Donald Trump blasted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Thursday after Schumer admitted the Democrat shutdown, which is depriving federal workers and U.S. troops of pay, is motivated by partisanship.
“Chuck Schumer proclaimed this morning that ‘Every day gets better for’ them. No, every day it’s actually getting worse for them,” Trump said, referring to Schumer’s odd brag to Punchbowl News. “And they’re having a rebellion in the Democrat Party because they want to stop.”

He noted that Schumer, over the years, has repeatedly railed against government shutdowns. Yet it is Schumer and Senate Democrats who have repeatedly refused to fund the government through a Continuing Resolution with zero strings attached at the same funding levels then-President Joe Biden approved last year.
He contended that Schumer is feeling heat from a potential primary challenge from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and is catering to the far left of the party.
“But AOC said that they can come to her office and negotiate, the Republicans,” Trump said. “And we’re saying, ‘Oh, I didn’t know she was in leadership,’ but she’s taking Hakeem Jeffries’ place, and Schumer’s afraid that she’s going to run against him.”
“Right now… I don’t think he could beat anybody,” he added. “So he’ll… lose in a primary. I would say he’ll retire before he loses in a primary. I think Schumer is going to retire because he can’t beat anybody. His polls are so bad.”
