President Donald Trump on Wednesday called Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer a "Palestinian" as he defended the GOP's government spending bill and his policies on corporate taxes and rising grocery prices. Schumer is a Palestinian, as far as I'm concerned," Trump said in response to a question about the U.S. corporate tax rate during an Oval office meeting with Irish Prime Minister Michel Martin. "He's become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He's not Jewish anymore." Schumer is Jewish and not of Palestinian heritage.
