Sen. Chuck Schumer rips Trump's SOTU address: It was 'sort of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde'

Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer on Wednesday attacked President Trump’s State of the Union address, calling it “political, divisive, calculating, even nasty at times.”

Mr. Schumer, who was in a tiff with the president hours before the address to Congress and the nation, said the speech was “sort of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” with most of the emphasis on the “Mr. Hyde” elements.

“The president was political, divisive, calculating, even nasty at times,” the New York Democrat said on CNN’s “New Day.” “You can’t talk comity and working together and give a speech that is just so divisive. That just doesn’t fly.”

The top Senate Democrat accused Mr. Trump’s speech of having no substance on areas of real bipartisanship such as infrastructure and drug prices. He stressed that Democrats would be willing to work on these legislative issues if the president could put forward proposals they could take seriously.

The NY Senator spent the speech hunched down mouthing replies under his breath.

Nobody else will take him seriously, so he must talk to himself...he's the only one who will listen.

What speech was he watching? It seems to me the Democrat Party is essentially the party of “I hate everything he said.”. Trump went out of his way to hand an olive branch to the Democrats last night.

I secretly wished it was full of more brimstone, but I get he is talking to ALL the electorate so had to come off as Presidential.

“They never give specifics.”

chuck’s statement was intended for those who didn’t actually watch the SOTU speech ... statements like that are the way the Dems roll, namely making up shite to be consumed by the completely ignorant who don’t know any better ...

Yep, I was expected that but was pleasantly surprised, he took the high road and put Dems on the spot.

Schmucky looks literally like Satan without the horns, and he especially looked that way last night. He’s absolutely furious that (1) Trump got overwhelming approval in the polls for a great speech and (2) his hand-chosen Ghettopotamus delivering the Rat response was an amateurish and whiney FAILURE.

Hey Schmucky, it s*cks to be you, you FUGLY OLD LOSER!!!!

Schümer is part of that Bolshevik tribe intent on bringing down the Christian Western Civilization.
Solzhenitsyn warned us. We are ignoring it.

He kind of has a point. Trump fed the Dems alternating doses of sugar and poison.
