Trump hands out lumps of coal to enemies on Christmas Eve
In a string of Monday morning tweets, Trump railed against Democrats who oppose his border wall, accused the Federal Reserve of tanking the economy, attacked the news media, bashed allies who “take advantage” of the U.S., rebuked his former Defense secretary and anti-ISIS envoy for resigning in protest and mocked Republican Sen. Bob Corker (Tenn.) as “little.”
Sitting “alone,” he said, in the White House after canceling his Christmas visit to his Mar-a-Lago club in South Florida, Trump punctuated his broadside with a statement of defiance.
“AMERICA IS RESPECTED AGAIN!” he tweeted.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) issued a sharply worded statement after markets closed blaming Trump for the turmoil.
“It's Christmas Eve and President Trump is plunging the country into chaos,” they said. “The stock market is tanking and the president is waging a personal war on the Federal Reserve – after he just fired the secretary of Defense. Instead of bringing certainty into people’s lives, he’s continuing the Trump Shutdown just to please right-wing radio and TV hosts.”
