Overview

• Trump shared the video on X and Truth Social hours after hosting Jeffries and Schumer at the White House for failed funding talks.
• The footage adds a sombrero and mustache to Jeffries, plays Jarabe Tapatío, and uses fabricated audio to depict Schumer making offensive claims.
• Jeffries denounced the post on X and pressed to cancel cuts and protect health care, while Schumer said the episode shows negotiation is not happening.
• The White House meeting, which also included Mike Johnson and John Thune, ended without a deal as disputes over ACA subsidies and Medicaid cuts persisted.
• Latino advocacy groups condemned the post as racist disinformation and warned about the use of AI to amplify harmful stereotypes in politics.
