Donald Trump told Democrat Sen. Charles Schumer in a phone call he likes him more than his GOP brethren House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a source close to the transition team said.
During a recent phone call, the president-elect “said to Schumer he likes Schumer more than Ryan and McConnell because they both wanted him to lose,” the source said. “They are Republicans and Trump knows they didn’t support him.”

A few years ago I had an opportunity to work with a political figure from New York who served several terms in Congress a while back. He swore that Chuck Schumer comes across as an overbearing A-hole in his public appearances, but in private is actually one of the kindest, most decent human beings you'll ever meet.
Go figure.
This guy is a master. Puts the republicans on notice, and Schumer feels special.
Fake news alert.
Keep your friends close, your enemies closer?
IIRC since my writing days are over. The headline implies Schumer is a GOP leader and Trump likes the other GOP leaders better. If I my pik a nit.
Questionable, but I wouldn’t entirely blame Trump if it were true. A traitor is worse than an enemy.
I like Schumer better that graham and McCain. Definitely Ryan But that’s not saying much for schumer
The joke in DC has long been that the most dangerous place to be is between Chuck Schumer and a camera.
Chuck Schumer said he didn’t want to divulge a private conversation but said that the conversation was very close to what was reported on CNN.
(CNN)Sen. Chuck Schumer, the incoming Democratic Senate leader, said Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump told him he liked him more than Republican leaders in Congress.
But the New York Democrat told CNN's Dana Bash he would remain skeptical of Trump's effort to "flatter" him.
"When you get to be in my position, people do tend to want to flatter you and you've got to take it with a grain of salt," Schumer said.
The New York Post reported Sunday that Trump told Schumer, who supported Hillary Clinton, that he liked him more than Republicans such as House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Asked by Bash about the report, Schumer acknowledged, "He said something close to it."

More fake news.
most importantly, Trump made his bones dealing with NY jews
I’ll take a true enemy over a false friend any day
An avowed enemy is to be preferred to a back-stabbing traitor.
Something close to it....
Chuck probably omitted a “didnt” in front of the like.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Donald Trump and Chuck Schumer go back a long ways, prep school, college or work experience. Some talking head mentioned it a few weeks back.
This guy is a master. Puts the republicans on notice, and Schumer feels special.
Trump the troll master working Congress like a Boss LMAO.
Regarding McConnell and Ryan, truth hurts.
I don’t believe this—Trump would have put it in the form of a tweet.
There needs to be a “Fake News” Administrator so that garbage posts like this would get pulled imediately, IMHO.
