President Donald Trump on Tuesday essentially offered Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s political eulogy, saying he’s “mentally gone” and has been “beat up by young radical lunatics.”
When asked if the Democratic Party was now more New York Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s party than Schumer’s or House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’, Trump answered, “Probably is. Maybe he’ll run for president in four years; you’ll have a communist president. That would be interesting.”
“I don’t see it happening,” he continued. “I’ve always said, ‘You will never see — and I’ve always talked to you about socialism — you will never see a socialist so and so — and I was right. I say it in speeches: ‘We will not have socialism in our country,’ and I was right.”
“He’s a communist, and he’s gonna be, maybe the mayor of New York … I would say he would be the leader of the party,” Trump continued.

Turning to Schumer, he said, “It’s not Schumer. Schumer’s shot, he’s shot. This poor guy. I feel sorry for him. I’ve known him for a long time, but he’s — I think he’s mentally gone. He’s been beat up by young radical lunatics. And I think that Chuck Schumer is — he’s gonzo. I really do. I think he’s probably not going to run. It shows that he’s losing in every poll. Now, this is hard. You know, he wants to meet with me. Sort of hard to be with the guy after I make a statement like that, but I’m just giving you the facts. I think Chuck is probably finished.”
Trump is far from the only person contending that Schumer has capitulated to the far-Left wing of his party: Last week, Senator John Barrasso (R-WY), the Senate Majority Whip, bluntly stated that Schumer was beholden to the radicals in his party, saying on the Senate floor:
Here’s a headline from Politico: “Chuck Schumer’s critics are satisfied – for now.” The article goes on to quote the head of a far-left activist group called Indivisible. This group is organizing Saturday’s radical rally. The leader of this far-left group says of the Minority Leader, “He hasn’t surrendered yet. I call that progress, and we’re cheering him on now.” Seven months ago, that same person had a very different message for the Minority Leader. That same person said, “Senator Schumer should step aside as leader. Every Democrat in the Senate should call for him to do so.” So what changed? Well, Senator Schumer started toeing the line of the far-left group. He shut down the government in spite of the fact that 13 times when Joe Biden was president he voted for a clean continuing resolution to keep the government open. What changed? Well, the Minority Leader is now a puppet of the radical, extreme, dangerous, scary wing of his party.
He huddled with far-left activist groups for months before the shutdown. They orchestrated the Schumer Shutdown together. They organized a war room. They’re calling the tune. Senator Schumer even gloated to Punchbowl News: “We thought about this long in advance.” This is a premeditated, political game for Senator Schumer and the Democrats.
