Chuck Schumer
@SenSchumer

President Trump has demonstrated an uncanny ability to repeatedly get ignored or rolled by despots like Erdogan and Putin without getting anything in return.

Trump couldn't bow and scrape enough for Kim. He even walked across the border into North Korea, something he doesn't even do on his golf courses!

favorable characteristics for an American President.
Of course, today's Republican party might disagree.

him represent us and look forward to him taking the place of Moscow Mitch.. Chuck and Nancy make a good team now and will be a better team even yet when he's majority leader. I will gladly vote for him again in his next election.

I don't hear Nancy complaining about the respect that Chuck shows her as she takes the lead in her higher ranking title.

Whereas the asshole calls Nancy Pelosi, "Nancy" instead of Speaker Pelosi.

an issue that the Trump cult treasures. Show them that their "great deal maker" is just a buffoon like the wizzard hiding behind a curtsin.

And his creepy MAGAts love that he is a swindler and a con man who is selling out his country to enrich himself.

Trump is raking in money and think it's cool. But there are still magats who really believe that he's a grest negotiator and deal maker. They can't separate the reality TV image from the real person. They admire the tough talking image that he projects without seeing the reality that he's just a mouthy, blustering fool who comes out on the losing end every time. They hear and swoon over the language but miss the actual results.

where he has no negotiation leverage. For someone who billed himself as a businessman he is the worst negotiator I have ever seen.

That's because he wants to be in their club.
