Leader Schumer Floor Remarks On Donald Trump’s Disastrous Polling: “Trump Has Completely Lost The Trust Of The American People.”

Washington, D.C. - Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) spoke on the Senate floor on a new CNN poll that shows Donald Trump is totally out of touch with Americans' priorities. Below are Senator Schumer's remarks, which can also be viewed here:

This morning's CNN poll is further confirmation Trump has completely lost the trust of the American people.

Americans can see it, smell it, feel it: Trump's priorities are completely out of whack.

He's concerned not with average citizens and making their lives better, just his own ego.

Just look at some of these numbers. More than three in every four Americans say Trump's disastrous war on Iran hasn't been worth the cost, the same number say they've experienced hardship because of rising gas prices, 79 percent.

And when asked, does Trump have the right priorities 73 percent say no. A record 73 percent of Americans think Trump hasn't focused enough on the most pressing issues they face.

Pick any poll, pick any issue, and you'll come to the same conclusion: Trump is totally out of touch. He is hurting America and not listening to America.

No one likes what you're doing. Are you listening Donald? No one likes what you're doing. Look at those numbers, they should make Donald Trump [hang] his head in shame. 72 percent disapprove of how he's conducting the war in Iran. 79 percent disapprove of him on gas prices, 73 percent say he has the wrong priorities for them.

When the overwhelming majority of Americans say you're taking the country in the wrong direction, you better change course.

Trump and his party can either take the hint or take a hike when it comes in November.
