In a fiery and impromptu exchange with reporters from the Oval Office on Wednesday, former President Donald Trump blasted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, saying he �isn�t Jewish anymore� and has �become a Palestinian.�

The stunning remarks came during a meeting with the Prime Minister of Ireland, when Trump, known for his unfiltered rhetoric, veered off-topic while answering questions about tax policy.

Pressed by a reporter on whether he planned to lower corporate taxes, Trump initially confirmed his intent to do so�before launching into a scathing tirade against Democrats, whom he accused of indifference toward crime and suffering.

�They have no clue,� Trump fumed, referencing a recent address in which he highlighted victims of violent crime and illness. �Two young women were slaughtered by illegal aliens. One young man has very serious cancer. And the Democrats? They just sat there, stone-faced. No clapping. Nothing. These people are sick. There�s something wrong with them.�

Trump went on to mock Senator Elizabeth Warren, reviving his �Pocahontas� nickname for her, and claimed Democrats were more enthused by conflict in Ukraine than by the plight of American families.

But it was his comments about Schumer that ignited controversy.

�You�re going to have some very bad things happen, and people are going to blame the Democrats,� Trump declared. �And Schumer is a Palestinian, as far as I�m concerned. You know, he�s become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He�s not Jewish anymore. He�s a Palestinian. Okay?�

Within minutes, reaction poured in from across the political spectrum.

�This is vile and outrageous,� said a spokesperson for Schumer�s office. �Senator Schumer�s Jewish identity is not up for debate, least of all by Donald Trump, who has repeatedly trafficked in dangerous rhetoric.�
