Chuck Schumer slams Donald Trump amid Iran war
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who has been the United States senator from New York since 1999, lashed out at President Donald Trump after the USA entered a two-week ceasefire deal with Iran, temporarily slowing down the controversial war.
Donald Trump incurred heavy criticism before the ceasefire deal, primarily because of his Truth Social posts, in one of which he allegedly threatened to wipe out “a whole civilization” if Iran did not agree to a ceasefire. This has sparked concerns worldwide.
Reacting to this ceasefire deal, Chuck Schumer wrote on his X account, “Trump is a military moron. His war, with a price tag of $44 billion and $4+ gas, made us worse off today than we were when he started it.” He further added, “And if he restarts this war we will be in even worse shape. We must pass our War Powers Resolution to end this war for good.”
The post received mixed responses from users on X.
White House spokesperson Anna Kelly reacted to Schumer’s post in a statement given to Fox News Digital. “Like many Democrats, Chuck Schumer has spent decades talking about the threat posed by Iran, but doing nothing about it. President Trump took courageous action to ensure Iran can never use a nuclear weapon against our homeland, and as he said, we are far along with a definitive agreement to deliver lasting peace.”
Previously, reacting to the ceasefire announcement, Schumer had said in a separate post, “I’m glad Trump backed off and is desperately searching for any sort of exit ramp from his ridiculous bluster.”
