Trump made nice with Schumer backstage at Al Smith Dinner — before joking Brooklyn Dem could be ‘first woman president’
NY Post ^ | 10/18/24 | Josh Christenson, Diana Glebova

Former President Donald Trump acted to mend fences with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer backstage at Thursday night’s Al Smith Dinner — before kicking them down again with a joke about the Brooklyn Democrat’s odds of becoming the “first woman president.”

“You’re my guy, you’re my guy,” Trump, 78, said as he warmly shook Schumer’s hand with both of his ahead of the $5,000-a-plate charity soiree, according to a source close to both men.

Schumer, 73, was seated center stage at the white-tie event, but stood up and clapped for the 45th president, who was seated just two places away — next to host Cardinal Timothy Dolan and former first lady Melania Trump.

Trump was later caught on camera leaning in and speaking inaudibly to Schumer for several moments before taking the podium to let rip with some of his best material.

“Chuck Schumer is here looking very glum,” Trump ribbed the top Senate Democrat while patting him on the back. “Doesn’t he look glum? He looks glum.”

“But look on the bright side, Chuck,” the Republican nominee added, “considering how woke your party has become, if Kamala loses, you still have a chance to become the first woman president.”

The audience erupted with laughter, but Schumer, who was sitting directly to Trump’s left, did not look amused.

Trump and his allies have hammered Vice President Kamala Harris throughout the campaign for quietly abandoning her past left-wing stances — including her support for taxpayer-funded sex reassignment surgeries for prison inmates.

Trump was also chatting with Schmucky before the dinner even began, I wish I could read lips I wonder what they said to each other “Hey Chuck, six days to Sunday huh, not gonna happen, when I win the deep state is DONE”

We rarely see a reactive Schumer...so this tells us just a little more about him. He can take a joke.

Try that same joke on Tampon Tim....Goes to show you...Trump knows Schumer inside and out.

That was before he was president. They are probably still good friends.

I hope this is just an instance of “keeping one’s enemies closer” because Schumer is as evil and diabolical as they come.

unlike the two below them, for example: the perpetually constipated Bloomberg and whoever that bald-headed black female was to his right.

They go way back. Trump has no problem being civil to people; even execrable people.
