Chuck Schumer Tells The Senate That Trump “Lives in a Cocoon of His Own Mistruth” After White House Meeting

Coming off the heels of his White House meeting with President Donald Trump and future Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi of (D-Calif.), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) took to the Senate floor on Wednesday to accuse the president of living “in a cocoon of his own mistruth.”

“The president is so used to obsequious advisers who fail to dispel his false and made up facts that he lives in a cocoon of his own mistruth,” said Schumer.

Schumer went on to say that, because the president had surrounded himself with yes-men, it was left up to him and House Minority Leader Pelosi to shatter President Trump’s illusions and “puncture that cocoon.”

He urged his Republican colleagues to intervene, telling them that if he was a Republican, he “would get involved right now and help pull the president back from the brink.”
