Chuck Schumer just got a reminder never to pick a fight with Trump; Trump, the counterpuncher, always hits back with ferocity

On Thursday, Sen. Chuck Schumer wrote a letter to President Trump, accusing him of failing in his leadership, thereby creating a void that “left America with an ugly spectacle in which States and cities are literally fending for themselves, often in conflict and competition with each other….” (California’s Governor, Gavin Newsom, by the way, would disagree.) Schumer further insisted that the only way to solve this alleged leadership failure would be for Trump to hand his responsibilities to a military officer who would then take over the country through the Defense Production Act.

Schumer’s attack on President Trump was not only a lie from start to finish, it represented an unadulterated will to power. If this were 1942 and Schumer thought that rooting for the Nazis would win him the White House, that’s what he’d do.

For Trump, the counterpuncher, Schumer’s vile accusations on Senate letterhead required a knockout blow and Trump’s responsive letter to Schumer is that blow. The opening line sets the tone: “Thank you for your Democrat public relations letter and incorrect sound bites, which are wrong in every way.”

Following that first blow, Trump proceeded to pummel Schumer. In his terse response, Trump reminded Schumer of the following:

1. President Trump had long ago assigned oversight of the federal COVID-19 response to Vice President Pence, adding, “By almost all accounts, he has done a spectacular job.”
2. President Trump has already been using the Defense Production Act to buy “billions of dollars’ worth of equipment, medical supplies, ventilators, and other related items.” Importantly, because of the power of the DPA, the administration hasn’t had to use it. Instead, the threat is enough to make businesses fall in line.

Trump wound up for the knockout blow: If Schumer and his party hadn’t been so focused on impeachment, and had instead focused on New York, the state would have been better prepared for the virus. “No wonder,” the President added, “AOC and others are thinking about running against you in the primary. If they did, they would likely win.”

POTUS never suffers his fools or enemies lightly. Once he gets the country back on its feet, the COVID-19 instigators are going to have hell to pay.

The letter needs to be displayed at the National Archives right next to the Declaration and Independence.

“I cannot spare this man. I cannot spare this Trump. He fights.”

To paraphrase Abe Lincoln.

The sentiment is spot on.

Such a refreshing change from the last Republican administration. Play hardball with President Trump and he’ll break the bat off in your a$$, Bravo!

“The Reckoning will be beautiful.”

It will indeed.

The Turtle should have Suspended All Privileges and held a Vote to REMOVE Schumer from the Senate when he made Criminal Terrorist Threats against 2 Supreme Court Justices,
