The streaming of Donald Trump's former show 'The Apprentice' has drawn attention to a particular episode featuring Sen. Chuck Schumer's warm praise of Trump from 2006. During the episode, Schumer connected their familial roots in Brooklyn and referred to Trump as a business prodigy, highlighting their friendly past. However, this stands in stark contrast to Schumer's later characterization of Trump as simply a 'casual acquaintance' and his public criticism of the president, exposing the complexities of their political relationship.
"I was born in Brooklyn, the same place where Donald Trump's family comes from. His father, and my grandfather, were builders together in Brooklyn."
"Even when [Trump] was much younger, you knew that he was going to go places," Schumer said, before a voice-over from one of the contestants present at the breakfast reiterated that 'Sen. Schumer and Mr. Trump are good friends.'
