Schumer: Trump’s ‘do-nothing presidency’ won’t work for him

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., continued to make the rounds on T.V. Thursday morning about the meeting he and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., had at the White House on Wednesday that was cut short by President Trump.

“I said yesterday we came out a lot the better than he did. And, as I said, I think the show wears thin, I think the lack of accomplishment, the do-nothing presidency sinks in. That’s going on the number — all the things people don’t like about Donald Trump, his bullying, his ego, his dishonestly,” Schumer told MSNBC.

Schumer said voters ultimately want a president to get things done and they pay a heavy price if they are unable to do anything that benefits the country. He said Democrats will keep trying to push for infrastructure legislation.

Schumer recalled when Trump called him after the 2016 election to ask what Republicans and Democrats can work together on, which Schumer said infrastructure, to Trump’s agreement.

After the White House meeting ended shortly after it began, Pelosi said, “I pray for the president of the United States and I pray for the United States of America.”
