Schumer insults Trump as ‘98-pound weakling’ on China before Xi Jinping visit

 By Douglas Ernst  - The Washington Times - Wednesday, April 5, 2017

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called the man who co-authored “The Art of the Deal” a “98-pound weakling” when it comes to dealing with China.

President Donald Trump is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday and Friday at his Mar-a-Lago estate. Although the billionaire has accused China of using the U.S. as a “piggy bank” and devaluing their currency to create a trade imbalance, Mr. Schumer says it means nothing.

“One of the few hopes we had with President Trump is that he’d finally stand up to China,” Mr. Schumer told reporters Wednesday, Politico reported. “But up to now, when it comes to China, he looks like a 98-pound weakling. […] He talks a good game. He signs a couple of executive orders that mean nothing. He hasn’t saved one job — one job — that China is stealing.”

The New York senator’s jabs came as he was flanked by Sens. Debbie Stabenow of Michigan and Bob Casey on Pennsylvania. Both lawmakers face tough reelection bids in states won by Mr. Trump on Election Day.

Senior White House officials told CNN on Wednesday not to expect any major changes in policy to be announced after the meeting. Instead, they plan to “set a framework” for a trading relationship moving forward.

“We don’t want to be unrealistic about [expectations],” the official said.

What does someone who has never had a private sector job in his entire adult life know about trade or what it takes to run a business?

LOL. Chuck is now relegated to offering insults about his opponents to Left wing reporters because he is so irrelevant. This reminds me of him attacking a Trump supporter at a high end restaurant like a retarded monkey....

The bastard is trying to provoke the President into causing a rift with China.
