Leader Schumer Statement On President Trump’s Lie-Ridden Joint Address To Congress

Washington, D.C. – Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) today released the following statement after President Trump delivered his Joint Address to Congress, emphasizing the harm that Trump’s cruel agenda has already caused to the American people:

“Tonight, President Trump rattled off broken promise after broken promise and lie after lie. There was more truth in 10 minutes of Elissa Slotkin’s rebuttal than 2 hours of Donald Trump’s longwinded diatribe.

“Instead of focusing on driving costs down, in Donald Trump’s first month in office, inflation, rents, groceries, and Putin’s influence are all on the rise. The stock market is plummeting as he starts ill-conceived trade wars with our allies – hurting our famers, families and 401Ks.

“Americans will look at what he has done, not what he says, and see the destruction he’s beginning to wreak on you, your family, and our country. Senate Democrats will keep fighting for a brighter future for American families and holding the Trump administration accountable.”
