Hats off to this reporter for asking the elephant in the room.

On Tuesday afternoon, Sen. Chuck Schumer held a press conference, taking aim at President Trump’s new ballroom and blaming Republicans for the failure to pass a new DHS spending bill.

Schumer attended the press conference with a noticeably largebandageon his forehead, prompting one reporter to ask what had happened to it.

In response to the reporter’s question, Schumer shared that a “closet door was opened late at night and it met my forehead.”

Schumer, after answering the question, went on a rant regarding President Trump’s ballroom and stated, “We don’t need this ballroom; you want to help national security, the ballroom has nothing to do with it. Help national security by funding DHS.”

The Senator from New York added, “We don’t want to fund it, we don’t want to approve it, it is not necessary, it’s typical of what’s wrong with Donald Trump, focusing on the wrong things that appease his ego.”
