Trump's response to Shumer defines Trump, not Schumer. [View all]

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/schumer-trump-petty-unserious-response-letter

If you hit the link above, you will see a letter that Trump wrote to Schumer on April 2, yesterday. How does it define Trump?

...Here is the leader of a major country in the world, that has a life threatening problem that is killing hundreds if not thousands of people, taking the time to write a letter to an opposing leader of a political party, instead of taking the time to deal with the problem that is killing people.

..Imagine how much time the letter at the link took to compose and write and rewrite. I am sure Trump wanted the letter to be correct and strong, so someone wrote it and rewrote it and finally got Trump's approval.Perhaps, Trump did not write it, maybe he did. It doesn't matter. That letter defines how Trump is spending his time. Rebutting and opponent instead of solving a life killing problem..

...It also defines his priorities. The letter to Schumer was a very important thing to do, as opposed to other important things to do...Think about that for awhile..
