Schumer Slams Trump Over Middle East Strategy: “Why Is He Making History Repeat Itself?”

“Americans spent the last two decades fighting and dying in the Middle East.” From the Senate floor, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer delivered an emotional warning about Donald Trump’s Middle East strategy, invoking the human cost of the last 20 years of war. He described: “Parents watched their kids shipped off to foreign lands. So many lives lost, so many billions wasted. So much suffering and anguish that scarred an entire generation.” Then he turned his fire on Trump: “Why is Donald Trump hellbent on making history repeat itself? Why is he plunging America headfirst into a war that Americans do not want and which he cannot even explain?!”
