## Trump criticizes Schumer, says Dem leader 'has become a Palestinian'

President Donald Trump said during a meeting with the Irish Taoiseach in the Oval Office on Wednesday that , D-N.Y., "has become a Palestinian." 

Trump made the remark while speaking out against Democrats' reactions to his joint address to Congress last week.

Schumer is the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in American history. His office did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.



Trump's comment came during his response to a reporter's question about lowering taxes.

"We are planning to lower taxes. Yeah. If the Democrats behave," Trump said, before condemning outbursts and other disruptive behavior from Democrats during his first address to Congress last week.

Trump particularly took issue with Democrats' behavior when he recognized the mothers of two women murdered by illegal immigrants, as well as when Trump celebrated  becoming an honorary Secret Service agent.





"Anybody who likes to see the Jews suffer, let's get this right," Trump said, adding that he expects the outcome of the Ukraine-Russia negotiations to be "80% of the way to getting this horrible bloodbath." He also raised concerns about the consequences of further political chaos and called for calm to prevail.

On average, Trump said, between 2,000 and 3,000 young people are being killed in the Ukraine-Russian conflict per week.

"And that stupid war, that would have never happened if I were president," Trump said, also repeating the claim that the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks on Israel would never have happened if he were in office at the time.



As far as past conversations with Putin, Trump said, "I've gotten some positive messages, but a positive message means nothing."

"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, leaving the way they left Afghanistan should have never happened. Inflation should have never happened."
