Schumer: Trump's Asia trip a 'colossal flop'
The Hill ^ | November 14, 2017 | John Bowden

Posted on 11/14/2017 9:52:35 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) panned President Trump's 12-day Asia trip as a "colossal flop" Tuesday in a speech delivered on the Senate floor.

Schumer said he had "never been more ashamed" of a president's actions abroad.

"I have never been so ashamed of a foreign trip in my years. It's just inside-out," Schumer said. "We attack our friends and the people who have given us the most trouble, China and Russia, we [mollycoddle] — that is so bad for the future of this country."

Trump has taken criticism for ignoring rampant human rights abuses while interacting with the leaders of nations such as China and the Philippines, as well as for his bellicose attitude toward North Korea.

Schumer blasted Trump for actions that he said "unsettled" U.S. allies and "emboldened" the country's enemies.

"Adding insult to injury, he seems to have a love for dictators," Schumer said. "In the Philippines where a strongman leader is engaged in killings does Trump admonish him? No, he lectures and unsettles our allies while emboldening our adversaries by treating them with kid gloves."

The New York Democrat also took issue with Trump's name-calling after he referred to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un "short and fat."(continued)

‘”never been more ashamed” of a president’s actions abroad.’

Was he sleeping during Obama’s World Apology Tour?

I guess he’s far enough away from Asia to have paid no attention to what Trump has been doing. Probably the most productive trip in a long time for our country.

The purpose of the Democrat Party is to elect thieves to public office so that they have access to the public treasuries in order to loot them.

Congress is a world class collection of dumb, stupid, senseless, and immoral.

Schmucker is the grand pubah of this.

A lower IQ would be harder to find.

Unless one is searching the NFL.

The last guy, bowed to everyone he met, apologized for things that didn’t need apologizing for, bent over backwards for China and Russia, told Medvedev that he was willing to work with Putin after the election, when he had more flexibility, and pretty much gave away the ranch to the Norks and any Middle Eastern despot that was aligned with the muslim brotherhood, tried to give away this country’s sovereignty thru TPP, etc. I’m sure I forgot a bunch.

It’d be great if a reporter was able to ask him about stuff like that, live on camera.

Meanwhile Obama’s trip to China was an event of enormous pride when Backdoor Barry had to exit Air Force One by the emergency exit when the Chinese wouldn’t bring the stairs.

Good of Chuck to have stuck his foot in his mouth before Trump announces the results.

I can see Trump’s tweet now:

“Chuck never let his ignorance get in the way of his opinion.”

There should be something that can be done to the media’s and the left’s lies and treatment of our President. I can’t watch ANY TV anymore... how do they get to control everything that goes on.... they have managed to have the money to run our country into communism... for us who remember when some things were not done or said.. this hard to take... there needs to be consequences for actions.. and some of this is near treason!
