Schumer Comments On Economy Following Report
Oh, Chuck Schumer. If there were an Olympic event for turning good news into doom-and-gloom prophecies, the Senate minority leader would be bringing home the gold.
Honestly, the man’s got such a knack for finding storm clouds on the sunniest days that one wonders how he even gets out of bed. In fact, listening to him talk about the economy is like watching Eeyore trudge through the Hundred Acre Wood — except with fewer cuddly animals and way more political spin.
Chuck Schumer refuses to believe the economy is booming under Trump, calling today’s excellent GDP numbers a “mirage”.

So here’s what happened: the GDP numbers just dropped, and they were great. Not good. Not meh. They shattered expectations. But instead of taking the win for America, Schumer decided to reach for his favorite script: “Actually, everything’s terrible.”
His words, not mine: the new GDP number is “a mirage” with “ominous numbers lurking under the hood.” Specifically, he harped on a 3.1% drop in business investment, declaring it “very troubling.”
And because no Schumer rant is complete without a jab at Trump, he quickly pivoted to tariffs, claiming they’re “weighing down the U.S. economy” and scaring businesses into hiding. He painted a grim picture: companies terrified to grow, hire, or trade. Families crushed by costs. Chaos lurking at every turn.

But here’s where it gets rich — pun fully intended. Schumer talking about prices and costs is a little like a fox lecturing the henhouse on security. Inflation skyrocketed under Biden and made life way more expensive for everyone, while under Trump? Inflation has cooled. Yet somehow Schumer’s acting like the current administration is driving us off an economic cliff.
Even CNBC’s Joe Kernen saw this coming. Before Schumer even spoke, Kernen mocked how Democrats would react: “They’ll say inflation is out of control and tariffs are killing the economy!” And sure enough, Schumer delivered the exact lines like he was reading from the playbook.
