Just wanted to make that one ridiculously obvious point - everybody would be better off without ol' Mitch.
Donald Trump launched a furious attack on 'broken down hack' Mitch McConnell and his 'crazy wife' in bust-up over GOP Senate candidates
Former President Donald Trump has launched a furious attack on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in a dispute over the GOP Senate mid-term campaign.
Trump said the senior senator from Kentucky should spend more time and money helping Republican Senate candidates get elected and "less time helping his crazy wife and family get rich on China."
"Why do Republicans Senators allow a broken down hack politician, Mitch McConnell, to openly disparage hard working Republican candidates for the United States Senate," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
McConnell has drawn ire from Trump after he said that Republicans will face a tough task in flipping the Senate majority, citing "candidate quality."
Recent polling has shown that GOP nominees in the nation's most closely contested states are struggling to keep up.
This includes Trump-backed candidates Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania, JD Vance in Ohio, and Herschel Walker in Georgia.
Trump and McConnell, who were once firm allies, have been publicly feuding since Trump's 2020 election loss.
McConnell angered Trump after appearing to accept Joe Biden's victory and condemning the former president for being "practically and morally responsible" for the January 6 Capitol insurrection.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that McConnell's comments about GOP Senate candidates were "an affront to honor and to leadership."
The former president also made a disparaging comment about McConnell's wife, Elaine Chao, who served as Trump's Transportation Secretary and was one of the first Cabinet officials to resign after the Capitol riot. She is reported to have spoken to the House January 6 panel earlier this month.
Trump has previously drawn attention to Chao's business ties to China.
Chao's family owns a shipping company that transports material to and from China, and a government watchdog has previously alleged that she used her office's staff and resources to support the business.
Despite their fraught relationship, McConnell has said he would still support Trump as the party's 2024 nominee.
Everybody except a few select Plutocrats, and Donald Trump from January 2017 thru January 2021.
But Trump is a fickle little shit who can't see anything but his own urgent desire to satisfy his own immediate appetites.
He lives his life episodically - like some weird upside down version of The Truman Show - where everybody is dealing with reality the best they can, but Trump insists on trying to turn the whole universe into a loosely-scripted Reality TV series with him in the central role - the hero who can do no wrong.
And every once in a while, the storyline has to change in order to fit whatever fantasy suits his whim - which always has everything to do with keeping his ego sufficiently puffed up, and casting whoever's conveniently at hand as the Villain du Jour, so Trump never has to deal with any of the consequences of the fucked up vanity project that is the entirety of his existence.
So Mitch McConnell shoves TaxScam2017® through, and he installs 3 Justices at SCOTUS, along with a coupla hundred other wingnut Judges on the federal bench, and he makes sure Trump is not removed from office in either of the 2 impeachment trials.
That's not to say McConnell did any of that because of a deep and abiding affection for Donald Trump, but the guy got quite a bit done that accrued to Trump's favor.
Anyway, Mitch criticizes Trump's picks for the midterms, and suddenly Mitch is the worst guy ever, according to the guy whose political ass Mitch saved more than a few times.
...but there's always the kicker at the end of it all.
