Flashback: Chuck Schumer Thoroughly Mocked for His 'TACO Trump' Post on Iran

 Townhall


"On Saturday night, as Townhall has been covering, President Donald Trump announced an assault on Iran's nuclear program. Democrats have not been taking the news well. They haven't been taking Trump's handling of Iran well at all, and that includes putting out many outrageous takes. Chief among them, as many have reminded over X, is Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

" 'When it comes to negotiating with the terrorist government of Iran, Trump's all over the lot. One day he sounds tough, the next day he's backing off," Schumer claimed in a post from June 2, not exactly sounding tough himself. 

"He also complained about finding out about U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio's role in negotiations. "What kind of bull is this?!" Schumer wondered. "They're going to sound tough in public, and then have a side deal that let's Iran get away with everything? That's outrageous! We need to make that side deal public!" Schumer continued, once more going for that idea about being "tough" and gesturing this time for even more emphasis.      

"As he continued to rant and rave about a "side deal," Schumer went for that particularly cringeworthy line of attack used against Trump by mentioning "TACO Trump," which supposedly refers to "Trump Always Chickens Out."

" 'If TACO Trump is already folding, the American public should know about it," he continued towards the end of his clip. . . ."
