Schumer: ‘The Trump Budget Is Comic Book Villain Bad’

‘And just like comic books, it relies on a fantasy to make all the numbers work’

SCHUMER: “When you add all of it up — Mr. President, when you add all of it up, the Trump budget is comic book villain bad. And just like comic books, it relies on a fantasy to make all the numbers work. It’s the kind of budget you might expect from someone who is openly rooting for a government shutdown. Haven’t we heard the President say that? It’s the latest example of the President breaking his promises to working Americans. This budget breaks promise after promise after promise that the President made to what he called the forgotten America, the working men and women of America. He said he’d help them, and this budget goes directly against them.”
