Trump tells Schumer he likes him more than other GOP leaders

[Madmallard]

This makes me very nervous to say the least.

Donald Trump told Democrat Sen. Charles Schumer in a phone call he likes him more than his GOP brethren House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a source close to the transition team said.

During a recent phone call, the president-elect “said to Schumer he likes Schumer more than Ryan and McConnell because they both wanted him to lose,” the source said. “They are Republicans and Trump knows they didn’t support him.”

A rep from Schumer’s office would not comment on private remarks between the two men.

Trump ridiculed Ryan on Twitter and at rallies during the campaign and teased both Republican leaders, saying they “weren’t in love with me” before the election but they “love him” afterward.

Trump has described his relationship with the incoming Senate minority leader as “very good” and “close” in interviews.

Well at the least, Trump knows what Schumer is about and what side he's on. I don't know, but I think I'd have more respect for someone who "stabs" me in the front rather than the back. BUT...I also do think Trump is being shrewd and prudent in "greasing" the wheels of the relationship he will have to have with Schumer. Then again, Trump could be fucking us over.....Who knows?

All old uncle Schumy wants are TV cameras and lights on him.
I sense Trumpy is starting something special with Schumy here...

Trump understands the necessity for unconventional relationships to achieve results. Schumer is against so much of what Trump campaigned on but is also one of the most powerful democrats. Just more politics at work.

^^^^^This. There is no way Trump can "one man band" it, he is going to need some kind of rapport with the Democrats and the rest of the establishment. Plus, he may be trying to put them off guard with a false sense of security. We just don't know. The man hasn't taken office yet and he is already under the microscope by everyone.

God help us.

Plus the two must have a decent working relationship from Trump's involvement in NY politics prior to the campaign.

I like Schumer too. Then again, I like jock itch.

Trust in Trump, he's a deal maker, not a piece of shit politician. He knows Chuckie wants to get his belly rubbed.

That bromance will only last until Chuckles' partisan politics tries to derail Trump's agenda.

Necessary evils. Bluntly opposing everything progressive, while good for the camera and short game, will not actually get shit done and help our long game.
