Schumer: Trump’s speech ‘detached from… reality’

Published



The Senate’s top Democrat warned Wednesday that President Trump’s widely praised address to Congress has no bearing on how Trump is actually governing.

“The president’s speech was detached from the president’s reality,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on the Senate floor. “The president in this speech and so many others talks like a populist, he talks to the working people of America and promises things. But when he governs, it’s nothing like that at all.”
