Schumer: Trump Campaigned as a ‘Populist’ But He’s Governing from the ‘Hard Right, Wealthy Special Interest’

RUSH EXCERPT:
SCHUMER: "Well, look, the president, name-calling doesn’t work. Let’s look at values, let’s look at issues. I’d say the president’s first hundred days have hardly been a success. He’s broken promises to the working people of America, unfulfilled others. You know, Chris, when he campaigned, he campaigned as a populist against the Democratic and Republican establishments. But he’s governing like someone from the hard right, wealthy special interest. Let me go over a few areas. On trade, he promised to be tough, backed off on China, backed off on Mexico. On buy America, again, we have a good, strong bill. They’ve backed off that, a lot of this deal now and infrastructure and water is going to be made overseas. On health care, he said he covered more people at less cost. His bill does just the opposite. And maybe the worst is draining the swamp. His last days, he said, Wall Street won’t be in Washington. Well, there are more in this cabinet than others, billionaires. And there’s such closeness. I think one of the worst things he did on the swamp is allowing lobbyists to work in the administration on issues they lobbied on and they get waivers that are secret. So, there’s been promise after promise that’s been either unfulfilled or broken."
