The White House insists this freeze does not touch programs including Social Security, Medicare, or other entitlement payments, but Schumer called Trump's action "chaotic," "careless," and "cruel" at the Democratic leadership's weekly press briefing.
"In one instant, in the blink of an eye, in the dark of night, Donald Trump committed one of the cruelest actions that I have seen the federal government do in a very long time," Schumer said, claiming Trump had shut off "billions, maybe trillions of dollars that average American families need."
