New York Post – by Marisa Schultz
Donald Trump praised Sen. Charles Schumer on Sunday and took a parting shot at the New York Democrat’s soon-to-be predecessor, Harry Reid.
Trump used his kind words about Schumer as a swipe against the retiring Senate minority leader, Reid, one of the president-elect’s most vocal critics during the campaign.
“I have always had a good relationship with Chuck Schumer,” Trump tweeted Sunday morning about Schumer, the soon-to-be Senate minority leader. “He is far smarter than Harry R and has the ability to get things done. Good news!”
Schumer’s Sunday morning chat on NBC’s “Meet The Press” was taped Friday, so host Chuck Todd was not able to ask the senator about Trump’s high praise.
Schumer said he’s looking for common ground with Trump on trade and infrastructure issues.
But he also predicted that the Senate’s Democratic minority would get help from Republicans to stop Trump from repealing the Dodd-Frank Act and “the rules we put in place to limit Wall Street.”
“We have 60 votes to block him,” Schumer said.
As a candidate, Trump said he would scrap the bill, Congress’s attempt to legislate new rules to prevent a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis.

“Chuck Schumer hopes to work with the next president to do some of the things that have been waiting in the wings for a long time during the dysfunction of congress”.
The below video is well worth the 3:43 seconds spent to watch it.
The NYT YouTube channel only has 815 subscribers currently…… No wonder they desire to crush all the “fake news” floating around the wild west web.
“He is far smarter than Harry R…”
That’s not saying much.
So is a rock.
“Schumer said he’s looking for common ground with Trump on trade and infrastructure issues.”
That would be the greatest amount of mammon extraction in as short a time as possible.
