Has Schumer done anything as significant as Trump in his career?
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) took to the Senate floor this week to slam President Trump over what he claims is a failed trade agenda. His message? That Trump “promised 90 trade deals in 90 days” and didn’t deliver.
But there’s more to the story—and Schumer’s spin conveniently leaves out critical facts that matter to working Americans and retirees alike.
“Ninety days back, President Trump claimed his tariff strategy would produce 90 trade deals,” Schumer remarked. “From what I see, he’s still missing about 88 of them.”
Schumer called it a “broken promise,” but many see it as yet another political attack designed to distract from President Trump’s actual progress on fair trade—and the economic wins that come with it.
Trump’s Trade Agenda: Tough, Targeted, and Working
While the liberal media and Washington Democrats downplay it, President Trump has already delivered major wins for the U.S. economy. Just days ago, the administration struck a new trade agreement with Vietnam. Before that, a breakthrough deal with the United Kingdom cut tariffs on British steel, aluminum, and cars—while reducing trade barriers for American exports.
That’s real progress that boosts American manufacturing, strengthens national security, and puts U.S. workers first.
Now, the administration is going even further. On Monday, Trump warned that tariffs of 25% to 40% will snap back on 14 countries—including Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia—if they don’t come to the table by August 1. This isn’t weakness. It’s leverage—and it’s working.
Schumer Plays Politics While Trump Defends American Jobs
Schumer, clearly rattled by Trump’s bold trade strategy, accused the President of “kicking the can down the road” and lacking “strategic understanding.” But everyday Americans know better.
President Trump’s America First trade policy is about more than deals on paper. It’s about rebuilding U.S. industry, stopping foreign freeloaders, and bringing jobs and investment back home.
Even Republican lawmakers are urging patience, recognizing the complexity of global trade negotiations.
“There are multiple deals in process that I know firsthand are happening,” said Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), who serves on the Senate Finance Committee.
Lankford confirmed that while not every agreement will wrap by August, important progress is being made—and the long-term benefits for American workers are worth the wait.
The Bottom Line: Trump Fights for You. Schumer Fights for Headlines.
At the end of the day, this isn’t about political jabs. It’s about jobs, retirement security, lower costs, and a stronger future for America. President Trump is doing what career politicians refused to do for decades—stand up to foreign manipulation and put U.S. interests first.
While Chuck Schumer plays games on the Senate floor, President Trump is playing for keeps—and it’s the American people who stand to win.
