Trump's Controversies: Domestic Policy, Legal Battles, and Environmental Rollbacks

President Donald Trump faces criticism from rights groups for using 'Palestinian' as a slur. Senate Democrats remain at odds over a funding bill as a shutdown looms. Trump's economic moves deemed 'erratic' by some Americans. Additionally, his administration rolls back environmental regulations, sparking further controversy.

President Donald Trump faced backlash from Muslim and Jewish advocacy groups Wednesday after he referred to Senator Chuck Schumer as a 'Palestinian,' which many interpreted as derogatory. The incident occurred during a White House meeting with the Irish Prime Minister, highlighting tensions over Senate Democrats' resistance to Trump's policies.

Meanwhile, U.S. Senate Democrats grappled with a stopgap funding bill from the Republican-led House, with a government shutdown looming. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer called for a temporary extension, aiming for bipartisan support, to no avail.

The Trump administration also moved to dismantle Obama-era environmental protections, targeting emissions standards and water regulations. The rollbacks align with Trump's industrial-support agenda but face criticism for eroding vital ecological safeguards.
