Chuck Schumer, the Democratic Senate leader, wrote today: "The Trump administration is the most corrupt and hypocritical government in American history. Due to Trump's destructive tariff policies, Americans are facing unemployment and everyday consumer prices at record highs. And it turns out that if you're a foreign company willing to donate $37 million worth of goods—specifically to Trump's White House ballroom project—you can easily avoid these tariffs. That's what they call 'America First!'
U.S. media have exposed that a foreign steel company donated steel valued at $37 million (in-kind donation) to Trump's White House ballroom project. Immediately afterward, the Trump administration drastically reduced or waived the high steel tariffs imposed on this company.
Commentary: As the Democratic Senate leader, Schumer not only aims to expose the corruption of Trump’s abuse of public power and turning national policy into a personal profit tool, but also seeks to capitalize on public frustration over rising prices, attacking his governance legitimacy and exposing the hypocrisy behind the 'America First' slogan.
