Chuck Schumer: “Donald Trump is not a populist. He's a posturer.”

“A year ago, Donald Trump stormed into office on the promise to lower costs, to fight for ordinary Americans to unrig a rigged system. He ran, in other words, as a populist who promised to drain the swamp and end inflation. But Donald Trump is not a populist. He's a posturer. He throws out these populist ideas to try and persuade people he's on their side, but he never does anything to get them done. He never lifts a finger or a phone.” (06:04–06:08)
