This is a video of Chuck Schumer when he was younger (actually, every video of someone is from when they were younger, shoutout to Mitch Hedberg)… But anyway, this is Chuck Schumer when he was younger but still one ugly bastard. And here he is on the Senate Floor going on a passionate rant for 5 minutes about how China is ripping us off and how we need to fix our trade imbalance with them and impose 27.5% tariffs! Yes, really…. Watch here: SHOCKING: Senator @ChuckSchumer passionately advocates for a 27.5% tariff on China in 2005! “It says to the Chinese that their unfair trade policies have got to end. The Chinese have enjoyed a yuge trade surplus with the U.S. Every year it gets larger and larger.” “Much of… pic.twitter.com/IzijFbHPih — KanekoaTheGreat (@KanekoaTheGreat) April 7, 2025 TRANSCRIPT: “It says to the Chinese that their unfair trade policies have got to end. The Chinese have enjoyed a yuge trade surplus with the U.S. Every year it gets larger and larger.” “Much of that trade surplus is because the Chinese don’t play fair. They don’t let our goods into their country. I can tell you company after company in New York who cannot sell goods in China or can only sell them under impossible conditions.” “The Chinese make no effort to prevent the ripping off of our intellectual property. These are our crown jewels. The thinking. The great creativity. The great entrepreneurialness of the American business community is just taken, and they shrug their shoulders.” “And worse of all, the Chinese pile on and add unfair rules that violate free trade. And at the top of that list is the fact that the Chinese peg their currency abnormally low, so their exports get a 27% advantage here in the U.S. and our imports get a 27% disadvantage when sold in China. Every tenet of free trade, if you believe in it, says they should not peg their currency.” “What does this mean for America? It means a yuge job loss. We have suffered dramatically in manufacturing jobs, service jobs, and other jobs. It means we have a huge trade deficit. It means the dollar sinks to abysmally low levels, threatening our wealth, and it creates chaos in the whole world trading system.” “We are fed up, Mr. President. How can we stand by as millions of American workers lose their jobs? As thousands of American companies can’t compete fairly? As our country as a whole has wealth drained from it?” “What we seek is fairness in trade. The Chinese do not play by the rules. We have talked and talked and talked to them. The time for action is now. If not now, when? If not us, who? Millions of American workers and thousands of American businesses look to us to set things right, and today, by passing the Schumer-Graham amendment, we can do that.” Chuck Schumer desperately wishes this video would be deleted from the Internet, but we’ve got it! Chuck, what happened? You sound downright MAGA in this clip, what changed? You waver like a fart in the wind, and you smell like one too! It would be a real shame if this article went viral and everyone started posting it and tagging @SenSchumer on Twitter/X.  That would be pretty cool, think you can help out with that? RELATED REPORT: Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi PRAISE Trump, Musk and DOGE! Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi PRAISE Trump, Musk and DOGE! They say if JFK showed up in 2025, he would be a Republican. Not because he's changed, but because the political landscape has so drastically shifted and Democrats have gone so far left that people like JFK wouldn't recognize his own party. But the truth is, you don't need to go back to the 1950s or 1960s to see the massive shift left. You only need to go back to about 1993.... And you can go specifically to this clip of Chuck Schumer from 1993 calling for stricter immigration restrictions -- you know, exactly like President Trump is doing today. Take a look: FLASHBACK: Chuck Schumer discusses his support for stricter immigration restrictions.pic.twitter.com/g2VFfhNUGM — Resist the Mainstream (@ResisttheMS) April 5, 2025 But that's not all.... Far from it. I guess they all forgot video lasts forever and the Internet is written in ink? Next let's go to Nancy Pelosi in 1996 who is calling for reciprocal tariffs on China: Nancy Pelosi endorses reciprocal tariffs on China in 1996. pic.twitter.com/f6doiFzgyu — Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) April 4, 2025 Another one here, almost sounds like she's reading off President Trump's charts, doesn't it? Wow: WATCH: Nancy Pelosi on tariffs with China: Watch as she argues that China’s 35% tariffs on U.S. goods vs. our 2% created an UNFAIR trade relationship, hurting American workers and businesses. She opposed trade benefits for China without RECIPROCITY—exactly what Trump is doing… pic.twitter.com/jwpDjK8DmF — Jacob King (@JacobKinge) April 3, 2025 Stay in 1996 but shift back over to Chuck Schumer and Chuck is praising DOGE before it was named DOGE. Funny how the guy who was saying all of this back in 1996 now hates it when Trump and Elon actually do what he himself called for: 1) 1996 Chuck Schumer says the number one reason illegals come to the US is to defraud Social Security 2) Elon Musk exposes Democrats gave MILLIONS of illegals Social Security numbers and max benefits 3) Schumer says Elon Musk is lying about Social Security fraud and abuse pic.twitter.com/7sZNXikRGB — Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) April 3, 2025 Next up, a little closer to home, here is 2008, which I cannot believe is 17 years ago (how does that happen???) but here is Chuck Schumer calling out "undocumented illegal workers" just like Trump has been saying for 10 years: Here’s Chuck Schumer in 2008 talking about how “undocumented workers” are illegals whom a majority of Americans OPPOSE! pic.twitter.com/ktYo3HC9a8 — Sarah Smith (@Defundmedianow) April 4, 2025 Schumer and Pelosi sound like MAGA Republicans in all of these clips! What happened Chuck? What happened Nancy? I think what happened is they realized they could import millions of votes by importing millions of illegals and the rest was history: CLOSED BORDER: Congressional Democrats are desperate to return illegals from MS-13 and TdA to the US, now we know why… pic.twitter.com/h4CNHgDDVE — @amuse (@amuse) April 5, 2025 But do you know who hasn't changed? Do you know who doesn't just waffle in the wind? This man. Here is Donald Trump 37 years ago and he sounds EXACTLY the same then as he does today. That's called integrity. That's called a moral compass. That's called values and knowing what you stand for. That's called standing on truth. Check this out: President Trump Fulfills The Promise He Made To Oprah Winfrey 37 Years Ago! President Trump Fulfills The Promise He Made To Oprah Winfrey 37 Years Ago! Nearly 37 years ago in 1988, Donald Trump went on the Oprah Winfrey Show and your mind is going to be blown when you see this clip. First of all, he sounds EXACTLY like he does today. That is what happens when you have moral conviction and deeply held beliefs. Not rigid to the point where you can't shift and adapt, but deeply held fundamental beliefs about how the world works. And one of those beliefs was that the USA is being ripped off by every other nation out there. It's truly incredible to listen to him saying this 37 years ago, when it could have easily been said the day before in a Presidential Speech. President Trump has been incredibly consistent over the years, watching out for America's best interest. I was also blown away to hear him describe it as a $200 billion problem back in 1988.  Now it's ballooned into the multi-trillions. We have been cheated and ripped off for decades! The other thing that will absolutely jump out at you in this clip is listening to him talk about running for President. He says he wouldn't want to do it because it's a harsh life, but he might consider it if things got bad enough. An absolutely iconic clip. Take a look: President Trump on Oprah Winfrey’s show in 1988. “I’d make our allies pay their fair share.” Today he did just that. pic.twitter.com/Um7Gx4m0mS — Ian Jaeger (@IanJaeger29) April 2, 2025 FULL TRANSCRIPT: Oprah: Last year, criticizing U.S. foreign policy—what would you do differently? Donald: I'd make our allies—forgetting about the enemies, the enemies you can't talk to so easily—I'd make our allies pay their fair share. We're a debtor nation. Something's going to happen over the next number of years with this country, because you can't keep going on losing two hundred billion. And yet, we let Japan come in and dump everything right into our markets—everything. It's not free trade. If you ever go to Japan right now and try to sell something—forget about it, Oprah. Just forget about it. It's almost impossible. They don't have laws against it. They just make it impossible. They come over here, they sell their cars, their VCRs—they knock the hell out of our companies. And hey, I have tremendous respect for the Japanese people. I mean, you can respect somebody that's beaten the hell out of you—but they are beating the hell out of this country. Kuwait—they live like kings. The poorest person in Kuwait—they live like kings. And yet they're not paying. We make it possible for them to sell their oil. Why aren't they paying us 25 percent of what they're making? It's a joke. Oprah: This sounds like political, presidential talk to me. And I know people have talked to you about whether or not you want to run. Would you ever? Donald Trump: Probably not. But I do get tired of seeing the country ripped off. Oprah: Why would you not? Donald Trump: I just don't think I really have the inclination to do it. I love what I'm doing—I really like it. Also, it doesn't pay as well. Oprah: No, it doesn’t. Donald Trump: But, you know, I just probably wouldn't do it, Oprah. I probably wouldn't. But I do get tired of seeing what's happening with this country. And if it got so bad, I would never want to rule it out totally—because I really am tired of seeing what's happening with this country, how we're really making other people live like kings and we're not. Oprah: What do you think of this year's presidential race—the way it's shaping up? Donald Trump: Well, it's going to be very interesting. I think that probably George Bush has an advantage in terms of the election. I think that probably people would say that he's got like that little edge in terms of the incumbency, etc., etc. But I think Jesse Jackson's done himself very proud. I think Michael Dukakis has done one hell of a job. And George Bush has done a hell of a job. You know, they all went in there sort of as semi-underdogs—including George Bush—and they've all come out. I think people that are around all three of those candidates can be very proud of the jobs they've done. Oprah: You've said, though, that if you did run for president, you believe you'd win? Donald Trump: Well, I don't know. I think I'd win. I tell you what—I wouldn't go in to lose. I've never gone in to lose in my life. And if I did decide to do it, I think I'd be inclined—I would say that I would have a hell of a chance of winning. Because I think people—I don't know how your audience feels—but I think people are tired of seeing the United States ripped off. And I can't promise you everything, but I can tell you one thing—this country would make one hell of a lot of money from those people that, for 25 years, have taken advantage. It wouldn't be the way it's been. Believe.
