US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has said President Donald Trump needs to do better next time to get bipartisan support for his nominees, instead of trying to “streamroll” the Senate.
In his parting shot as the Senate adjourned for a recess until September, Schumer said that contrary to Trump’s claim of being master in dealmaking, he said the president threw in the towel “in a fit of rage” after the Democrats refused to budge.
Schumer was responding to the president’s tirade on social media, in which he said Schumer can “GO TO HELL!”
Pointing to Trump’s post on his Truth Social platform that was flashed on screen, he said, said, “Trump tried to bully us, go around us, call us names, but he got nothing. He walked away with his tail between his legs.”
In his post, Trump said: “Tell Schumer, who is under tremendous political pressure from within his own party, the Radical Left Lunatics, to GO TO HELL!” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Do not accept the offer, go home and explain to your constituents what bad people the Democrats are, and what a great job the Republicans are doing, and have done, for our Country,” Trump added.
