Leader Schumer Floor Remarks Slamming Donald Trump’s Economy: “Trump Can’t Bluff His Way Out Of The Economic Disaster He’s Unleashed On The American People.”

Washington, D.C. – Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) spoke on the Senate floor ahead of Trump’s visit to Las Vegas, highlighting Trump’s disastrous economy as Nevadans and Americans struggle to make ends meet. Below are Senator Schumer’s remarks, which can also be viewed here:

Now, Trump’s going to Nevada today to tout his disastrous economic record. His going is an insult to every Nevadan reeling from higher costs.

If there’s one place where Americans know how to spot a losing hand, it’s Las Vegas. Donald Trump, they see your losing hand. Nevadans know better than anyone that Trump’s economy has gone bust.

Does Trump want to brag about how Nevadans are paying four bucks and eighty cents for a gallon of gasoline because of his war?

Will Trump tout how more than 36,000 Nevadans have lost their health coverage because Trump cut a trillion dollars from our health care system to give billionaires another tax break? Nope.

While grocery prices continue rising, will Trump explain to the more than 78,000 hungry Nevadans who have lost food assistance that his policies are working exactly as intended?

Or maybe Trump wants to thump his chest about how the $3,100 extra Nevadans are spending because of Trump’s failed policies have wiped out any extra tax refund they saw this year.

Trump can’t bluff his way out of the economic disaster he’s unleashed on the American people. Nope. He can have all the bluff and bravado and lies he wants. It’s not going to work because people are experiencing the hurt that Trump has [inflicted] on them.
