Trump takes on Schumer for Iran deal flip-flop
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump is combining two of his classic targets of ire during a morning tweetstorm, going after both New York Senator Chuck Schumer and the Iran nuclear deal.
“Dem Senator Schumer hated the Iran deal made by President Obama, but now that I am involved, he is OK with it. Tell that to Israel, Chuck!”

Schumer had been one of a handful of Democrats to vote against the Iran deal in 2015, but on Sunday said he wanted to give the much-maligned pact a chance to work.
“I had a great deal of misgivings about the Iran nuclear deal. I voted against it but now we ought to see, give it time to work,” he said at a press conference.
