Tuesday on the floor of the U.S. Senate, in referencing the war of words between President Donald Trump and Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) called on Trump to “stop tweeting and start leading.”
Schumer said, “I’ve just seen that President Trump has resumed his Twitter war with another member of this body, our friend from Tennessee. It’s long past time for the president to quit his daily compulsion to engage in Twitter feuds and instead get to work for the American people.”
He continued, “We have a lot of serious issues to deal with in this country. Our challenges are too entrenched and complex to be solved if the president spends his time in a meaningless war of words on Twitter. Today with this person, tomorrow with that. We need President Trump to roll up his sleeves and get to work. To stop tweeting to start leading. Let me repeat that. Maybe the president will hear that. For the good of America, we need our president to roll up his sleeves and get to work. To stop tweeting and start leading.”
