In a controversial address to the Senate, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer railed against President Donald Trump and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk. While the woke senator whined about Trump’s “Deep Corruption,” online users weren’t convinced and slammed the deep-state Democrat with hilarious responses.
For context, DOGE was established by one of Trump’s earliest executive orders and charged with rooting out fraud, waste, and corruption. Instead of celebrating the cleanup operation, Democrats have opposed DOGE at every turn and resorted to increasingly over-the-top rhetoric in a vain attempt to slow Trump down.
Such was shown in Schumer’s April 4, 2025, rant, which was posted to social media by DeVroy Darkins, a prominent conservative voice. Schumer said, “Our next topic that we will be speaking about, each one is so dangerous to America, each one in each one is Donald. Donald Trump is betraying America and law and just totally going back on what he said when he ran in the campaign.”
Continuing his screed, the New York Democrat ironically painted Trump as corrupt. He claimed, “Now again, he’s with those bubble of billionaires. [And] doesn’t care a d*mn about the middle class, how he’s hurting them.”
Concluding his remarks, Chuck Schumer said, ” And so now senators will turn to an issue especially alarming to so many people, the deep, deep corruption that Donald Trump and Elon Musk and DOGE have unleashed on their watch, the amazing amount of self dealing and they’re trying to enrich themselves on the backs of the backs of the government, which means on the backs of the American people.”
Responding to Schumer’s melodramatic speech, conservatives mocked the Senator and pointed out the deep irony of his remarks. One such comment read, “@SenSchumer is talking about himself. If I worked for @DOGE I would create a flowchart between Schumer, his relatives, and payments made from government agencies to everyone associated with him. That would be a fun chart.”
Firing back at the woke Democrat, users objected to Schumer’s allegations of corruption. One of the many comments said, “Schumer claims exposing Democrat corruption and money laundering proves Trump wants to steal government funds. Trump? Donald Trump? The guy who worked for free four years and still refuses to draw a salary because he doesn’t want to waste taxpayer money. That guy? Chuck U Chuck!”

Watch the outrageous speech here:
Building on that point, other replies wondered if the Senate minority leader was hiding his own misdeeds. A commenter said, “Does Schumer hear himself? He saying that two of the wealthiest men in the world are trying to get more money! They are both working for free! Perhaps Schumer should explain how he became a multi millionaire…”
Rounding out the comments, some responses accused Schumer of blatant corruption. One reply said, “Schumer is a crook, besides being a politician. They all operate on the premise that if you tell a lie often enough and loud enough, some idiots will think it is the truth.” Another comment chimed in, “Schumer accusing Trump of “deep corruption” is peak projection. This man’s net worth ballooned from under $1M to over $70M while in office. Same with Pelosi, Biden, and others. Public service shouldn’t make you rich—but for them, it’s the business plan.”
