Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Wednesday gave his own rebuttal to President Trump’s State of the Union Address with a six-minute-long rant on the Senate Floor, attacking the President and claiming he ignored the American people and made the State of the Union all about himself.
“Last night was not America’s State of the Union. It was Donald Trump’s state of delusion,” he said, arguing that Trump spent two hours “congratulating himself, inflating his own ego, but offering no solutions to our country’s many problems.”
Schumer’s “State of Delusion” talking point was seemingly given to him by a staffer or Democrat strategist on Tuesday during the President’s speech. Schumer was seen proudly walking out of the chamber on Tuesday, refusing to speak to the press and, instead, repeating the line over and over again as he walked through Statuary Hall inside the Capitol:
“Donald Trump patted himself on the back so many times I thought he’d fall down,” Schumer said on the Senate Floor earlier.
But it was actually the Democrats who made the President’s speech all about themselves and turned their backs on the American people.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, when President Trump recognized the parents of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, who was savagely murdered by a career criminal who was set free under the Democrats’ policies, the party of crime shamefully remained seated and looked away.

Despite President Trump standing up against crime and illegal immigration for the innocent people in our country, the Democrats claim he couldn't care less, while pointing to the economy that Biden and the Democrats left behind.
"Trump didn't simply ignore the affordability crisis, he mocked it, yet again. The average American sitting at their table trying to figure out how they're going to pay that damn bill was furious that he said it doesn't matter," Schumer said, making affordability a focal point of his speech. "It's truly stunning to watch a billionaire like Donald Trump make fun of people's financial struggles during a 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."
But Trump actually pointed out the "record-setting inflation that cost the typical family $34,000" under Joe Biden and the Democrats, while noting that the Democrats now fixate on affordability now that Trump is in office. "The same people in this chamber who voted for those disasters suddenly use the word 'affordability,'" Trump noted, adding that the Democrats "caused and created the increased prices that all of our citizens had to endure."
