President Donald J. Trump mocked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) as a “Palestinian” liar and taunted the top Democrat about his political future.
Stung and bitter over their failure to sink Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” last week, Democrats have shamelessly blamed the president for deaths from catastrophic flooding in Texas, with Schumer taking the lead by demanding an investigation into staffing at the National Weather Service and whether cuts in funding contributed to the tragedy.
On Tuesday during a Cabinet meeting when the floods were being discussed, Trump addressed the vile insinuations from the New York Democrat in his own inimitable style, likening Schumer to Jon Lovitz’s 1980s SNL character “Tommy Flanagan, the Pathological Liar” and predicting that he will lose his seat to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), bringing an end to his political career.

“I saw a Palestinian senator. His name is Schumer, he is a Palestinian. No, he’s a Palestinian. He’s become a Palestinian. He’s abandoned the Jews,” Trump said of the Jewish Democrat.
“But I saw him say, it’s Trump’s fault. ‘Yeah, yeah, that’s right. It’s Trump’s fault.’ He was actually – did you ever see Jon Lovitz, The Liar? Where he goes, ‘Yeah, yeah, I went to Harvard. That’s right.’ Because this was Schumer,” the president continued, drawing laughter from the room.
“He goes, ‘Yeah, yeah, it’s Trump’s fault. That’s right. It’s Trump,'” the president continued. “I actually saw that stupid guy try and blame it on me. And I said, man, that’s a tough one to take. But he’s – his career is limited because I hear AOC is going to beat him, and she’s no bargain either, by the way.”
Schumer took to the Senate floor to exploit dead children and their suffering families in a sleazy effort to blame the deaths on Trump.

In a Monday letter to U.S. Commerce Department Acting Inspector General Roderick Anderson, the “Palestinian senator” called for him to “open an investigation into the scope, breadth, and ramifications of whether staffing shortages at key local National Weather Service (NWS) stations contributed to the catastrophic loss of life and property during the deadly flooding.”
The Department of Homeland Security pushed back on the latest Democrat-media hoax.
The mainstream media is deliberately lying about the events leading up to the catastrophic flooding in Texas.
The National Weather Service executed timely, precise forecasting and warnings, despite unprecedented rainfall overwhelming the region.

“The mainstream media is deliberately lying about the events leading up to the catastrophic flooding in Texas,” the agency wrote in a Sunday post to X. “The National Weather Service executed timely, precise forecasting and warnings, despite unprecedented rainfall overwhelming the region.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blasted Schumer for his “depraved lie” of blaming the death toll on Trump.

“We have seen many falsehoods pushed by Democrats such as Senator Chuck Schumer and some members of the media. Blaming President Trump for these floods is a depraved lie, and it serves no purpose during this time of national mourning,” she said.
“Here are the facts. In the lead-up to this tragic national disaster, the National Weather Service did its job. Despite unprecedented rainfall, the NWS executed timely and precise forecasts and warnings,” Leavitt added.
Trump has previously branded Schumer as a “Palestinian” and during a campaign rally last September, described the Democrat senator as “a proud member of Hamas.”
