‘He Used To Be Jewish’: Watch Trump Call Chuck Schumer A ‘Palestinian’

President also says 'no one is expelling anyone' from Gaza

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is basically “a Palestinian” at this point, due to the Jewish senator’s current positions on the Israel-Hamas war.

“Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I’m concerned. He’s become a Palestinian,” Trump said. “He used to be Jewish. He’s not Jewish anymore. He’s a Palestinian.”

Trump was speaking during an Oval Office meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin.

The president also indicated Palestinians will not be displaced from the Gaza Strip while the war zone is rebuilt.

“No one is expelling anyone from Gaza,” he said.

The prime minister of Ireland’s visit to the White House coincides with the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day holiday.

Mr. Martin acknowledged the close ties between the United States and Ireland, even as Mr. Trump – with Martin right next to him – told reporters the country is one of the European Union members who has not been fair to America on trade.

In the same meeting, Mr. Trump was asked if he has plans to respond to the latest round of tariffs imposed by the E.U.

“Of course I will respond,” he told reporters.

Tariffs remain top of mind abroad and across North America, as the president walked back 50% tariffs on Canada which were meant to go into effect Wednesday. This came after hours-long phone meetings with top-level officials from both countries.

For now, tariffs remain one of Trump’s sharpest negotiating tactics. It remains to be seen whether whiplash over how quickly they are implemented and removed will wear out their usefulness.
