Schumer has a big problem that’s not even been mentioned in the coverage of this matter: restoration and repair of Penn. Central Station, a new rail tunnel, and massive rail repairs. All of that is essential to the whole NYC area and its economy. With the Witch as President the 15 billion plus dollars needed for the project would have been wired. With PDJT the whole project is in question. Methinks that has been quietly on the table throughout these negotiations. PDJT, being a New Yorker, knows all the pressure points and the New York economic interests that are more than willing to put pressure on Schumer to come across in negotiations like the present.
To clarify, Pennsylvania Station (aka Penn. Station) is on the west side of Manhattan. Grand Central Station is on the east side of Manhattan.
