Correct, this was from a brief phase where Trump was trying on bipartisanship, and Schumer was trying to connect with him as a fellow New Yorker. I remember the talk at the time was Trump might go the way of Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was CA governor, tacking to the center and trying to become bipartisan to improve his approval ratings and mitigate midterm losses and ultimately set him up better for reelection. Obviously, it didn't work out like that, but there was a brief time where bipartisanship was on the table.

Ahah, that's relevant. Though the only difference this time will probably be Schumer having less facetime because the Democrats having vastly less power in Congress/the Senate. Nobody in the room is making any decision that would meaningfully worsen their conditions or those of anyone whose conditions they care about.
