The Senate Democratic leader said Trump’s decision to accept a meeting shows Republicans “feel the heat.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Sunday that Congress can prevent a government shutdown when money expires this week, but only if Republicans engage in a “serious negotiation.”

In an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Schumer told moderator Kristen Welker that he called Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., on Friday to encourage a meeting, which the White House accepted on Saturday evening.

Schumer said reaching a deal “depends on the Republicans.”

    Schumer is a traitor. You do NOT negotiate with terrorists. You make demands, if they don’t comply, you shut it down.

    Shut it down, Schumer. Shut it all down. Call for a general strike and don’t capitulate until all demands are met. This is your move to fuck up, and we will not forget if you do.
