Trump Hails Schumer’s ‘Do It the Hard Way’ Approach To Infrastructure, Knocks McConnell

Former President Donald Trump is offering some praise for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) handling of the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, while blasting Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)

In a statement on Sunday, Trump said, “This is not an infrastructure bill, this is the beginning of the Green New Deal. The bill I proposed, which 👤Mitch McConnell couldn’t do anything with, was pure infrastructure. I want what is best for America, not what’s best for the Communist Democrat Party.”

“This will be a big victory for the Democrats and will be used against Republicans in the upcoming elections. Schumer is using the threat of ‘we can do it the hard way or do it the easy way’ and keeping people in town. McConnell never did that on a real infrastructure bill,” he continued.

Finally, he said, “Hopefully the House will be much stronger than the Senate.”

The former president’s statement comes as the Senate voted 68-29 to end debate on the bill, paving the way for a final vote on the package.
