The president went on a full throttle Tweet attack against NY Senator Chuck Schumer over remarks he made earlier in the week on the Senate floor.
“The summit was more show than substance, what the Texans call ‘all cattle, no hat,in past agreements with North Korea, the United States won far stronger language on denuclearization, and we won specific measures to ensure that North Korea was taking steps in that direction.”, Schumer said last Wednesday, getting the Texas phrase of “all hat, no cattle” backwards.
Chuck Schumer said “the Summit was what the Texans call all cattle and no hat.” Thank you Chuck, but are you sure you got that right? No more nuclear testing or rockets flying all over the place, blew up launch sites. Hostages already back, hero remains coming home & much more!

The president also expressed that Schumer and others would rather the Summit and negotiations fail with North Korea, so Trump won’t look positive in the eyes of the general public.
The denuclearization deal with North Korea is being praised and celebrated all over Asia. They are so happy! Over here, in our country, some people would rather see this historic deal fail than give Trump a win, even if it does save potentially millions & millions of lives!

Lastly, he defended suspending “War Games” in the area. Strangely enough, the Democratic party is taking a more aggressive stance against North Korea and are sounding more “hawkish” than the president himself.
Holding back the “war games” during the negotiations was my request because they are VERY EXPENSIVE and set a bad light during a good faith negotiation. Also, quite provocative. Can start up immediately if talks break down, which I hope will not happen!
