“If anyone thinks this doesn’t hurt America in the short term, in the long run, they are sadly mistaken,” the Senate Minority Leader told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Monday chastised President Donald Trump for conducting “one of the worst few days in American foreign policy in American diplomatic history in a long time.”

Trump joked about election interference and getting “rid” of journalists with Russian President Vladimir Putin at last week’s G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan, before his impromptu meet-and-greet in North Korea with the pariah state’s dictator Kim Jong Un.

Schumer told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that Trump’s foreign policy “is erratic. It’s done for the moment so he can get his little ego hit and it hurts us, hurts us in the long run.”

“It’s reality show foreign policy. He wants that photo op. He wants that little hit,” Schumer added. “He has no strategic long-range sense where to go, what to do. If anyone thinks this doesn’t hurt America in the short term, in the long run, they are sadly mistaken.”

1. He doesn't have a brain in his head. He is dangerous to America and an embarrassment to the world.

I apologize to the DU forum. I would much rather offer a clear, concise critique with points which could open meaningful discussion with the group, but this morning, thanks to reading about his latest absurd folly kissing up to the world’s murderous dictators, my ass is on fire and no amount of Tucks medicated pads will calm me down.

Jesus, we’re in trouble.

3. We are watching the crippling of America.

Strongly worded letter, yes. But what else can they do right now?

4. Uh...Impeach, maybe?

So what, if the Senate won't convict. The House should really drag it out, as a SHOW TRIAL. Make it embarrassing as hell for both Trump and his Senate enablers.

5. And then Chuckie was off to play some more footsie with Mitch.

6. I wish qualifiers for Trump's behavior would stop.

Really, one of the “worst”? How about calling this what it truly is, the “worst”, and it is only going deeper.
