Schumer: Trump 'deserves praise' for work to fix Mexico, Canada trade deal
Washington Times ^ | 10/01/18

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., gave President Trump rare praise Monday for the renegotiated trade deal between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada announced earlier in the day.

Schumer said that Trump "deserves praise" for taking "large steps" to improve the outgoing North American Free Trade Agreement, which Trump had derided for years as a "disaster." The new deal, known as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, was reached late Sunday night between the three countries after months of negotiations.

“As someone who voted against NAFTA and opposed it for many years, I knew it needed fixing. The president deserves praise for taking large steps to improve it," Schumer said. "However, any final agreement must be judged on how it benefits and protects middle-

What is Schumer up to?

First he says Democrats aren’t seeking a delay for delay’s sake.

Then he praises Trump.

Schumer’s scheming.

Maybe when Trump said he has seen some democrats in drunk compromising situations he meant Schumer.

I'm gonna pass out.

The Dems have to change their narrative if they're gonna get ANY male votes in November.

And now my big guess....Feinstein gave Ford's cr** to Schumer and he passed it on to someone to leak it.

This "President Trump did Good"....is just...."Let's change the subject.

Remember, it needs Congressional Approval.

Getting screwed on trade and fighting back with tariffs is non partisan. It is just the right thing to do for the American worker.

It is not just about union workers. Unions membership is tiny, only 9% of manufacturing workers are even in a union.

The only good thing about about Schmuky Shoemah is he is not a Free Traitor™. Or he is head faking.

Ol’ Shmucky’s just trying to pass off as a ‘friend’ of the R’s because of the November midterms. I almost wrote ‘fiend’...should’ve left it that way.

Schummer said:
“Trump deserves praise”

Notice that he never praises our President in his own spoken words.

Not enough, Chuck

Schumer had to praise Trump because the main sticking point in the deal with Canada was opening up their market to New York dairy farms.

I’m waiting for POTUS Trump to drop the Ted “The Swimmer” Kennedy and Bill “The Rapist” Clinton Bombs at one of his Rallies.

It proves one thing I have felt all along - Trump’s actions, particularly against China, go way beyond daily politics - and there is broad agreement among business, defense establishment, government - that we need to revise our views and relationship with China.

Note that Schumer, Pelosi, etc... have not made a peep about Trump’s tariff actions, even while they viciously attack him on other things.
