Donald Trump today took to criticizing Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for being “dominated” by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, especially on matters pertaining to immigration reform.

“I think that Chuck Schumer sadly is dominated by the radical left and he’s dominated by Nancy Pelosi,” the President said, emphasizing, “Very strongly dominated. He can’t move. He’s a puppet. A puppet for Nancy Pelosi, if you can believe that. That’s what has become. That’s what is happening.”

That escalated quickly | POTUS: "I think they've become a very dangerous, a very, very dangerous party for this country. I think that Chuck Schumer, sadly, is dominated by the radical left and he's dominated by Nancy Pelosi. Very strongly dominated. He can't move. He's a puppet."

Back in 2009 and even as recently as 2014, Schumer expressed strong support for border security and immigration reform. However, recently, he described Trump’s border security efforts as “ineffective” and “unnecessary,” citing differences on the correct approach to such issues.

Trump described Democrats’ unanimous shift to the political left as “radicalized” and “very dangerous” for the country.

“We’re not going to let it happen to our nation,” he said Wednesday. “We are not going to allow the radical left to control our borders. Because if they do, you’ll see crime, you’ll see drugs, you’ll see human trafficking like you have never seen ever in the history of our country. You’ll never see anything like what you would see. So we’ll never left the radical left control our borders.”
