The Democrats are fighting for their usual "priorities" of course, but a video Trump shared on social media helps fill in some of that missing information in a way that'll not make the Dems happy:

Schumer, or whoever runs his social media account on X, wasn't amused by that epic troll:

Sorry this is happening to you, Chuck!
