Labeled Satire

A rumor that U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader, accepted a Rolls-Royce car as a gift from the British government circulated online in May 2025.

For example, on May 14, the America's Last Line of Defense Facebook page posted (archived) a meme showing a photo of Schumer and reading, "Chuck Schumer wants everyone to know that it's 'treason' for the U.S. government to accept a free jumbo jet from a foreign country. The same Chuck Schumer who drives to work everyday in a Rolls Royce GIFTED to him by the British Government." Other users also shared this rumor on Facebook and X.

1. Disinformation campaign.

Clearly the point is to make it seem no different for the Felon to accept a gift/bribe and to, at the same time, show Democrats as hypocrites.

2. Right. There's a thread refuting the Clinton-Saudi-helicopter story too

I’m seeing a lot of posts of legislators seemingly asleep at committee meetings because Trump nodded off on his trip.
