Sen. Schumer turns off social media users after claiming people are aroused by Trumps federal loan freeze: Calm down, Chuck
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) argued Wednesday that President Trump’s federal grant freeze really got a rise out of Americans, claiming that he hasn’t seen “people so aroused in a very, very long time” — and leaving many social media users nauseated.“Donald Trump, with his cruel policy, has aroused the American people and begun to show them how this administration is not for working families, but for the billionaires,” Schumer told reporters during a press conference on the White House Office of Management and Budget’s now-rescinded memo ordering a temporary freeze on federal grants and loans.“People are aroused,” Schumer declared, claiming that local elected officials have been flooded with concerned messages from constituents over the memo.“I haven’t seen people so aroused in a very, very long time,” the 74-year-old senator added.Schumer’s word choice left several social media users feeling grossed out.“Eww!” one disgusted poster remarked after seeing the snippet of Schumer’s press conference.“OMG! I just ate lunch!” another shocked person tweeted, including a vomiting emoji.“He couldn’t use a different word?” one X user wondered.
“Like ‘people are focused!’ Guy goes right to the hard on.”Many on X noted that Schumer had previously accused Trump, 78, of having “incited the erection” at the US Capitol, in remarks from the Senate floor shortly after the Jan.6, 2021, riot.“He hasn’t seen people this aroused since Trump incited an erection,” one social media user joked.“He just can’t help himself,” Julia, a Trump supporter, wrote on X, also including a vomiting emoji.“Calm down, Chuck,” she added in a separate post.“It must be about the $50 million in Condoms,” another X user quipped, referring to the recently pulled federal funding for contraceptives in Gaza.“Patriot Mom” on X tweeted directly at the senator to tell him, “Nobody wants to hear you say that word.
