Cryin' Chuck Is Big Mad About Trump's $2 Billion Settlement
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) isn’t too happy about President Donald Trump’s $2 billion settlement with the Justice Department after he suspended his lawsuit against the IRS.
While speaking on the Senate floor on Monday, Schumer railed against the settlement saying, “As working families shorten their grocery lists as they struggle to make ends meet, Donald Trump has added a nearly two-billion-dollar slush fund for his MAGA allies and January 6th insurrectionists to his wish list of pet projects he wants to fund with taxpayer dollars.”
The lawmaker stated that the president “is shaking hands with himself in order to fund his insurrectionist army to the tune of two billion dollars.”
He must have thought that line was clever because he repeated it twice on the floor and even in a post on X.
