Schumer: Trump 'was not my friend'
2016-11-20
[THEHILL] Incoming Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer
Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower.
 (D-N.Y.) is denying he and President-elect Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
 had a close relationship in the past.

"He was not my friend. We never went golfing together, even had a meal together," Schumer said in an interview with Politico published Saturday.

"He’s called me, we’ve had civil conversations a couple of times. But I’ve got to see what he does."

Schumer is set to be the Senate Democratic caucus's lead negotiator with Trump's administration.

During the campaign, Trump claimed that his relationship with Schumer would help him reach bipartisan deals as president.

"Hey look, I think I’ll be able to get along well with Chuck Schumer," Trump said in an interview with MSNBC’s "Morning Joe" in January. "I was always very good with Schumer. I was close to Schumer in many ways."

#8  I believe there is an episode of "The Apprentice" where the apprentices are brought over to Schumer's office in NYC. Schumer tells them about the close relations he and Trump had growing up together.

Trump's father and Schumer's father were both in the construction business and worked together on many projects. The kids would play together while the parents inspected the property. There were other occasions they got together as well.

#6  Reminds me of the picture of Hubert Humphrey in Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail. The caption read "I was once a Jew myself." FWIW.

He can be rented though.

#3  "Trump was not my friend." Trump might consider saying "Thank you."

So, the Trump organization didn't send enough money when you put the touch on them?

#2  "You gave me money, pretending I meant something to you. I took it, pretending the same."

And as long as The Trump Organization does business in New York state, those running the company will have to smile as they write checks to Senator Schumer's re-election campaign. That's the honourable senator's calculation, anyway.
