Trump fires back at Schumer over North Korea summit criticism
President Trump on Sunday posted a tweet in response to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s criticism of the recent North Korea summit.
“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!” Trump tweeted.

Days ago, Trump went after the media over its coverage of his June 12 summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
“So funny to watch the Fake News, especially NBC and CNN. They are fighting hard to downplay the deal with North Korea. 500 days ago they would have ‘begged’ for this deal-looked like war would break out. Our Country’s biggest enemy is the Fake News so easily promulgated by fools!” Trump wrote on Twitter.
Critics have raised questions about the specific actions that are expected to take place after the summit.
“The almost dreamlike encounter between the President of the United States and the supreme leader of the world’s most repressive state ended with mounting questions about what actually had been achieved, who had won most, and what will happen next,” a CNN piece noted.
Since his North Korea meeting, Trump has posted numerous tweets on the matter.
“A year ago the pundits & talking heads, people that couldn’t do the job before, were begging for conciliation and peace – ‘please meet, don’t go to war.’ Now that we meet and have a great relationship with Kim Jong Un, the same haters shout out, ‘you shouldn’t meet, do not meet!’” Trump wrote on Twitter Tuesday.
