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.
