Trump called Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer a Palestinian, Image: gettyimage
President Donald Trump made a controversial statement about Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer during a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Michael Martin at the White House on March 11, 2025, saying, “Schumer, to me, is a Palestinian; he used to be Jewish, but now he’s become a Palestinian.”
This isn’t the first time Trump has targeted Schumer with such remarks; previously, in February 2025 on Truth Social and during a rally in August 2024, he referred to Schumer as a “Palestinian” or “proud member of Hamas” to attack him.
Schumer, a Jewish-American and the highest-ranking Jewish leader in Congress, has consistently demonstrated loyalty to the Jewish community and Israel, though in recent years he has criticized the Netanyahu government in Israel, a stance Trump has weaponized against him.
Trump’s remark was likely a political jab, using the term “Palestinian” as an insult to portray Democrats as anti-Israel. The statement has sparked debate in the U.S., with some viewing it as part of Trump’s divisive rhetoric, while others label it as racist and antisemitic.
