Trump accuses Schumer of being 'weak and passive' on Iran

President Donald Trump on Thursday accused Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democrats of being "weak and passive with Iran," an insult that landed days after the nation's top intelligence official contradicted the president's views on the Islamic republic's nuclear capabilities.

"Schumer and the Democrats are big fans of being weak and passive with Iran," the president wrote on Twitter. "They have no clue as to the danger they would be inflicting on our Country. Iran is in financial chaos now because of the sanctions and Iran Deal termination. Dems put us in a bad place - but now good!"

A spokesman for Schumer declined to comment.

The New York lawmaker has been sharply critical this week of the president's ongoing feud with his own intelligence community. In a letter sent Wednesday to Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, Schumer called on him, as well as CIA Director Gina Haspel and FBI Director Christopher Wray, to "insist on an immediate meeting" with Trump following insults the president hurled at the top intelligence officials.

"You cannot allow the President’s ill-advised and unwarranted comments today to stand," Schumer wrote in the letter. "He is putting you and your colleagues in an untenable position and hurting the national interest in the process. You must find a way to make that clear to him."

Note to Donny, making threats, thumping your chest and grabbing your dick does not make you tough.
