SCHUMER vs TRUMP: Schumer Faces Backlash After Blaming Trump For Mexican Ship Crash Into Bridge [Video]

SCHUMER vs TRUMP: Schumer Faces Backlash After Blaming Trump For Mexican Ship Crash Into Bridge

SCHUMER vs TRUMP: Senator Chuck Schumer is under fire after suggesting that a Trump-era hiring freeze may have contributed to a tragic Mexican Navy ship crash at the Brooklyn Bridge that killed two cadets. Schumer pointed to weakened Coast Guard staffing as a potential cause, linking it to national security concerns. However, the Department of Homeland Security dismissed his claims, saying the Coast Guard was exempt and fully operational. Conservatives and media figures blasted Schumer’s remarks as baseless and political, with Fox News’ Mark Levin calling him “stupid and evil.” #ChuckSchumer #Trump #ShipCrash #BrooklynBridge #MexicanNavy #NYCNews #USPolitics #CoastGuard #MarkLevin #FoxNews #SchumerBacklash #HiringFreeze #NationalSecurity #BreakingNews #VesselTraffic #BridgeCrash #SenateNews #DHS #ConservativeTwitter #PoliticalControversy #SchumerVsTrump #BlameGame #CoastGuardNews #PublicSafety #MarineAccident #TrumpEraPolicy #VesselMonitoring #SocialMediaBacklash #NYCIncident #PoliticalFirestorm Also Read Donald Trump Says Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire Talks To Begin 'Immediately' Following Call With Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-says-russia-ukraine-ceasefire-talks-to-begin-immediately-following-call-with-putin-4158165.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Takes Another Jab At Taylor Swift, Claims She's ‘No Longer Hot’ After His Criticism :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-takes-another-jab-at-taylor-swift-claims-shes-no-longer-hot-after-his-criticism-4156725.html?ref=DMDesc Who Stands To Lose If Apple Moves iPhone Manufacturing Unit From India To US & How Much Will iPhone Cost Then? :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/who-stands-to-lose-if-apple-moves-iphone-manufacturing-from-india-to-us-how-much-will-iphone-cost-4155861.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

Did Hegseth Just Declare War On Iran? Warns Of Consequences After Houthi Drone Hits U.S. Carrier [Video]

Did Hegseth Just Declare War On Iran? Warns Of Consequences After Houthi Drone Hits U.S. Carrier

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has issued a direct and forceful warning to Iran following a serious incident involving a Houthi drone that forced the USS Harry S. Truman to take evasive action—resulting in the loss of an F-18 jet. Hegseth declared that Iran will “pay the consequence at the time and place of our choosing,” calling out Iran’s support for the Houthi terrorist group. Backed by President Trump’s retweet, this message signals a potential escalation as the U.S. vows to respond decisively to any further aggression in the Red Sea region. #PeteHegseth #Iran #Trump #Houthi #RedSea #USSHarrySTruman #F18Jet #DroneAttack #USMilitary #DefenseNews #MiddleEastCrisis #USIranTensions #HouthiTerrorism #Pentagon #BreakingNews #MilitaryEscalation #GulfConflict #USNavy #NationalSecurity #HegsethWarning #TrumpTweet #IranSanctions #USResponse #HouthiThreat #WarFooting #AircraftCarrier #RedSeaConflict #TrumpSpeech #MilitaryStrategy #GuardianJet Also Read Canada Election Result Marks Nationalist Comeback Against Donald Trump.
