House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries continues to lash out after President Trump trolled him and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer as the government shutdown looms.
As reported by The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft, President Trump has forced Democrats into a corner – and is now openly mocking their frustration.

Following their Monday meeting with Trump at the White House, Schumer and Jeffries stopped to complain to the press. Shortly after, a video surfaced online with reworked captions that mocked Schumer’s remarks. President Trump shared the clip on his Twitter account, highlighting the parody where Jeffries appears in a sombrero and mustache with mariachi music playing.
In the video, Schumer is also portrayed as “telling the truth” for 30 seconds, making the parody even more cutting. During a Tuesday press conference, a visibly upset Jeffries accused President Trump of cowardice, declaring:
“Mr. President, the next time you have something to say about me, don’t hide behind a racist and fake AI video!”
Oh no! Hakeem is BIG MAD! 😂🤣 https://t.co/Wxrivy5f9V pic.twitter.com/2KcgrYcS06

He added, “When I’m back in the Oval Office, say it to my face!”
Later that night on MSNBC, Jeffries again lashed out, calling the Trump-shared parody video of him and Schumer “disgusting.”
