US Senate Democrat Labels Trump’s Congress Address ‘State of Delusion’
(MENAFN) US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer sharply criticized President Donald Trump on Wednesday, describing his latest address to Congress as a “state of delusion.”
“Last night was not America's State of the Union, it was Donald Trump's state of delusion. For two long hours, the president stick stood in the way in the House chamber, congratulating himself, inflating his own ego, but offering no solutions to our country's many problems. He's in a bubble,” Schumer said on the Senate floor.
His comments came a day after Trump delivered the longest address of his presidency to Congress, lasting roughly one hour and 47 minutes, during which he declared the US is “winning again” and highlighted what he described as major accomplishments of his administration.
Schumer said he had “never heard a State of the Union speech — and I’ve heard quite a few — where the president’s rhetoric and the country’s reality were so far apart.”
He further criticized Trump for focusing largely on the achievements of other Americans rather than those of his administration. “Instead, Donald Trump spent most of his speech focused on the accomplishments, not of his administration, but on the accomplishments of other Americans whose accomplishments he has nothing to do with,” Schumer said.
The Senate Democratic leader also accused Trump of minimizing the financial struggles many households face. “It's truly stunning to watch a billionaire like Donald Trump make fun of people's financial struggles during his State of the Union speech. The guy doesn't have a clue. He's in a bubble so thick he can't hear what people are going through. And of course, he lied about the economy,” he added.
Schumer concluded by calling the address “filled with fluff and hype.”
