Well at least Trump isn’t lonely anymore.
According to Rep. Peter King, there’s a burgeoning bromance between the two.
“He and Chuck — both of them would interrupt each other at times — and they’d go back and forth and Chuck would say something and smile and the President would look at him and smile,” King told CNN Thursday evening. “This went on for the whole — let’s say the meeting was around 40 minutes or so? It was almost like a love-in at times.”
According to King, Schumer and Trump were sitting one seat apart, with White House chief economic adviser Gary Cohn between them.
Besides some introductory remarks, Cohn just sat back and “didn’t say another word,” King said.
“It was basically the President and Chuck. Even though there was somebody between them, they — face-to-face, they were pretty close a few times,” King said. “Chuck would lean over toward him, the President would lean over toward Chuck — I felt like I was back in the neighborhood.”
Weren’t some people warning before the election that Trump could get completely sidetracked by anyone telling him what he wants to hear?
