Schumer on President Trump’s First 100 Days in Office: ‘It Is 100 Days of Chaos’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “Anyway, this week, as you know, marks the 100 days that Donald Trump has been in office. It is 100 days of chaos. From one end of the government and one end of the country to the other. So let’s do a simple review. In these 100 days, what has gone up? Cost of groceries up, energy costs up. Cost of clothes, of homes, of cars up. What has dropped? Your retirement and 401(k)s down, the stock market down, the dollar down. And today we saw the trend continue. Consumer confidence down. And that’s not just the statistic. Consumers, when they don’t have confidence, don’t buy things. Businesses, when they see chaos, freeze. I have talked to business people, some of the biggest businesses, medium-sized businesses and small businesses. They’re all frozen. Even if Trump were to drop the tariffs, and who knows what the hell he’ll do, I doubt he’ll do that, the businesses don’t know what he’d do two weeks later, so they’re frozen. And that’s why the chance of recession, not according to us, but according to banking experts, is so much greater than it was before. Americans are noticing. The polls this week show Trump has the lowest 100-day approval rating since they started polling 80 years ago.”
