I heard this clip on the radio while driving home today. Senator Schumer blasts President Trump for doing 'virtually nothing' on trade relations with China and therefore looking like a '98-Pound Weakling.' On the surface, that seems like a scathing criticism of the president, an effort to hold Trump accountable for his campaign promises. However, there is another message that Senator Schumer has unwittingly given:
1. China is cleaning our clock, a claim that Schumer accepts.
2. Trump has done 'virtually nothing.'
3. Schumer believes that presidents can modify US Trade policy.
4. If Trump has done nothing, existing policies are unchanged.
5. The existing policies are those of President Obama.
6. Therefore, Senator Schumer is calling President Obama a 98-Pound Weakling.
Amazingly, I agree with Chuck Schumer! Next, Senator Schumer will blame President Trump for the $20 trillion debt.
