Uncle Chuck Schumer always goes for the joke -- and sometimes, despite all odds, lands one.

The senate majority leader had a particularly good burn today, after the president launched one of his extended, demanded rants about the Iran deal. In response, Schumer tweeted the hashtag from the First Lady's anti-bullying campaign.

"Senator Cryin’ Chuck Schumer fought hard against the Bad Iran Deal, even going at it with President Obama, & then Voted AGAINST it!” President Trump wrote, continuing his long-standing tradition of erratic capitalization. “Now he says I should not have terminated the deal - but he doesn’t really believe that! Same with Comey. Thought he was terrible until I fired him!”

"#BeBest" Schumer tweeted back, which earned a giant "Ooooooooh" from the internet.

Melania Trump's anti-bullying campaign recently introduced the hashtag #BeBest to encourage people to be .... their best. I'm not sure what branding professionals thought that this was 1. good or 2. grammatical, but that's besides the point.

The first lady has come under fire for claiming to care about bullying, all while her husband continues to openly trash foreign and domestic leaders on the internet.

"I’m well aware that people are skeptical of me discussing this topic," Melania told tech leaders in March. “But it will not stop me from doing what I know is right. I’m here with one goal: helping children in our next generation.”

The first lady's statement was the equivalent of saying nothing, but it's a marked improvement from when she tries to say something -- and that something is copied from Michelle Obama. Melania's latest anti-bullying pamphlet earned some fierce backlash after it appeared she copied (yet again) text from a similar document published during the Obama administration.

#BeBetter, please.
