Trump Claims Schumer Shed 'Fake Tears' At Sunday Press Conference

Source: Talking Points Memo

By CAITLIN MACNEAL Published JANUARY 30, 2017, 10:29 AM EDT

Following criticism of his executive order barring visas from some predominantly Muslim countries from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), President Donald Trump hit back by mocking the senator.

Trump claimed Monday morning that Schumer did not genuinely cry during a Sunday press conference.

"I noticed Chuck Schumer yesterday with fake tears," Trump said during a meeting at the White House with small business leaders. "I'm going to ask him, 'Who is his acting coach?' Because I know him very well. I don't see him as a cryer. If he is, he’s a different man. There's about a 5 percent chance that it was real but I think they were fake tears."

Schumer choked up as he condemned Trump's order on Sunday, telling reporters that the ban is "mean-spirited and un-American."

Schumer Tears Up At Presser Denouncing Trump's Travel Ban

By CAITLIN MACNEAL Published JANUARY 30, 2017, 9:46 AM EDT

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) condemned President Donald Trump's executive order temporarily banning people from seven predominantly Muslim countries from the U.S. at a Sunday press conference, where the senator choked up as he discussed the order.

"This executive order was mean-spirited and un-American," Schumer said with tears welling in his eyes. "It was implemented in a way that created chaos and confusion across the country, and it will only serve to embolden and inspire those around the globe who will do us harm.”

Schumer said that Democrats would introduce legislation to reverse Trump's order and said he would "fight with every fiber of my being until these orders are overturned."

or the 88 year old blind guy and his 84 year old stroke-victim wife, both in wheelchairs, reunited with their daughter many hours after detention. Any sane person would cry.

Only a person with any human heart would tear up. Trump has a ticker, a cardiovascular muscle, not a heart.
