Chuck Schumer says Trump ‘has aroused the American People’

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D. N.Y., claimed that President Donald Trump’s federal loan freeze has made many Americans “aroused,” stating he hasn’t seen “people so aroused in a very, very long time.” Schumer’s comments triggered backlash on social media, with users expressing shock and disgust over his choice of words during a press conference.

“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 said.

Many users referenced Schumer’s previous remarks about Trump “inciting the erection” at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, highlighting his history of controversial statements.

The White House Office of Management and Budget’s memo ordering a temporary freeze on federal grants and loans was later rescinded.
