Here’s something to make congressional Republicans sweat: Donald Trump has invited Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for a talk trying to avert a shutdown … and it may be one on one.
Schumer and Trump have what might charitably be called an on again, off again relationship, but Schumer does seem to speak Trump’s language in a way few Republicans do.
This is Donald Trump we’re talking about, though. He could equally hose Republicans or come to an agreement with Schumer and then an hour later, after hearing from irate aides and congressional Republicans, deny he ever made such an agreement to begin with.
