Rosen: Trump Taking a Private Conversation with Schumer Public and Using Humor To Push Him Around

‘And so, what Mr. Trump did was used his trademark humor, but ultimately with cameras running, he talked about a private conversation he had’

RUSH EXCERPT:

ROSEN: "It was even behind the scenes scenes. That was the president’s point and doing it. This was at the luncheon that was held for him and Mrs. Trump. This was right after the inauguration. Of course, nobody checked their tensions or their part of partisanship at the door. As you know, he’s very upset and perhaps rightly so, that only two of his cabinet nominees were confirmed today on President Obama’s first day in office, seven cabinet nominees were confirmed at this point. And so, what Mr. Trump did was used his trademark humor, but ultimately with cameras running, he talked about a private conversation he had. He said kiddingly he told me we are off to a great start with our cabinet, he did say this. If that was number one. And the number two, he said we are off to a great start with our cabinet and Mr. Trump said and chuck I’m sure is going to approve them. I’m sure he is going to do that. What’s the point of all this? Number one is he’s taking it public a private conversation that he just had with the Senate minority leader and he’s he is also using his humor in essence to push Chuck Schumer around a little bit."
