Schumer Says Trump Is Bluffing on Tariffs

President Trump called Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) “a creep” after the Democratic leader predicted the president would back down from slapping new tariffs on Mexico, The Hill reports.

Schumer, speaking from the Senate floor, characterized the new tariffs as another example of Trump’s “whimsical and erratic proposals.”

He added: “President Trump has a habit of proposing asinine and dangerous policies before backing off. And President Trump has a habit of pretending that the very act of not following through on a misguided policy is somehow a victory. So, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if President Trump doesn’t follow through on these tariffs either.”
