really tough, tough language to President Trump as though he reads anything. That's what they think opposition is. And I don't mean just to criticize Schumer, because it's really a party-wide problem. And the leadership is, and I'm saying this as a guy getting ready to turn 73, so I'm a senior, it's way too old.
