Chuck 1st Lady-like in Trump tweet war

THAT BURNS.

Sen. Chuck Schumer trolled President Trump on Twitter Thursday, invoking First Lady Melania Trump’s new anti-bullying campaign.

Trump had taunted the New York Democrat earlier in the day by calling him “Cryin’ Chuck Schumer,” and criticizin­g him for wanting to remain in the Iran nuclear agreement.

“Senator Cryin’ Chuck Schumer fought hard against the Bad Iran Deal, even going at it with President Obama, & then Voted AGAINST it!” Trump tweeted. “Now he says I should not have terminated the deal — but he doesn’t really believe that!”

Schumer, who has said he changed his mind because the U.S. now has too much invested in the multinatio­nal deal, responded with a tweet saying simply “#BeBest” — the name of the First Lady’s just unveiled campaign against bullying.
