Donald Trump sparked uproar in New York after floating the idea of renaming the city’s iconic Penn Station as “Trump Station.” Speaking on a flight to Florida, Trump claimed Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer had suggested the change in exchange for unfreezing federal funds for a major infrastructure upgrade. The remark immediately ignited political backlash and disbelief across the city.

Schumer swiftly rejected the claim, calling it an “absolute lie” and accusing Trump of inventing the story for leverage. He insisted only the president has the power to restart the stalled project and urged him to act without conditions. The episode has deepened tensions between the White House and New York leaders.

00:00President, if you set the record straight, there were reports circulating that you told Chuck Schumer that in order to restore funding for the Gateway train tunnel in New York, New Jersey, you would want Penn Station and Dulles Airport to be named after you.
00:13He suggested that to me. Chuck Schumer suggested that to me about changing the name of Penn Station to Trump Station. Dulles Airport is really separate. Dulles Airport is really not too involved with Congress. That's a separate kind of a deal, as you know. But it was suggested to be by numerous people, unions, Democrats, Republicans, a lot of people suggested. Nothing's been done on that.
00:40President, you frequently criticize Joe Biden for not knowing what is going on in his name. This racist video that was posted on your social media.
00:50A hell of a lot better than you do. You don't know what's going on. I know what's going on. No, Joe Biden didn't have a clue. But we know everything. And when you look at what's happening, whether economy and think of it, we're way years ahead of schedule.
01:04We have thousands and thousands of businesses being built right now. So Joe Biden had no clue. If Joe Biden were elected or if Kamala were elected, we wouldn't have a country right now.
01:15You won the election because of minority voters. Does this post maybe hurt Republicans with, you know, black voters after the...
01:24No, I was... Look, we did criminal justice reform. I did the historically black colleges and universities. I got them funded.
01:35Nobody has been... And that's why I got a tremendous, the highest vote with male black voters that they've seen in many, many decades.
01:43I've done great with... Black voters have been great to me. I've been great to them. Black voters have been great to me. I've been great to them.
01:50And I am, by the way, the least racist president you've had in a long time, as far as I'm concerned.
01:56We have... I've had a great relation. Think of what I've done. Criminal justice reform.
02:02Nobody else could do it. Obama couldn't do it. Nobody could do it. Clinton couldn't do it. They actually went the other way.
02:08They went into a very bad thing for African-American people, black people.
02:15They went to it. They did very bad things. I did very good things.
02:17But criminal justice reform, and then I funded the universities, which nobody else was willing to do.
02:24They were going... Every year, they'd come back to Washington, and they'd be begging for money. Begging.
02:30I got to be friendly with some of the heads of the schools, and they would come back, and they would literally tell me they're forcing us to beg.
02:37I'm the one that got them long-term financing, and more than they were looking for.
02:41So there's nobody that's done more. And I think maybe more than anything else was criminal justice reform.
02:47They've been trying to get it for years, and I'm the one that got it done.
02:51So nobody can tell me about that.
02:53That somebody posts, a staffer posts, and I knew it was all about...
02:59If you take a look at that and see the whole thing, it was a small section at the very end.
03:05But that was about fraudulent elections, which we have a lot of them.
03:10We're going to get it stopped.
03:12And I liked the beginning. I saw it and just passed it on.
03:16And I guess probably nobody reviewed the end of it, because what I saw at the beginning was really, really strong.
03:22It was about fraudulent elections, and anytime I see that stuff, and when it's credible, you put it up.
03:29But somebody slipped and missed a very small part.
03:32Now, by the way, again, a take-off one, I guess.
03:36I didn't do it, by the way. This was done by somebody else.
03:39This was a re-truth. That was not done by us.
03:43But that was a very strong truth.
03:47It was a very strong statement made about the fraudulent elections in a certain part of our country.
03:52Which are really bad.
