Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said pundits praising President Trump’s speech to Congress Tuesday night have a low bar for success and he has no confidence Trump’s lofty words will match his actions.

Speaking on CNN, Schumer said Trump’s speeches aren’t great examples of his actual policy goals. He said when Trump is speaking, he’s a populist and tries to fire up working people, but when he’s behind closed doors he becomes a far-right protectionist insulated by billionaires and bankers.
