Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is under fire after criticizing President Trump’s aggressive tariff strategy against China — despite his own 25+ year record of doing little to curb the Chinese Communist Party’s economic stronghold over America.
In comments delivered this week, a visibly hunched-over Schumer dismissed Trump’s latest wave of tariffs as “reckless,” even as bipartisan frustration over China’s trade practices continues to mount.
Critics were quick to point out Schumer’s lack of action over the decades.
“Maybe Schumer should do another angry speech on the Senate floor for the 20,000th time,” one commentator remarked. “That’ll definitely get Beijing to fall in line.”
President Trump has stood firm on his tariffs, recently raising China’s tariff by 125%.
Schumer’s remarks have been widely panned among conservative and pro-Trump circles, who see the contrast as a clear example of why the U.S. must continue its tough stance on China — with results, not rhetoric.
