Trump rips McConnell in scathing statementDonald Trump has ripped into “political hack” Mitch McConnell, declaring that the Republican Party “can never again be respected or strong” with the long-time Kentucky Senator at the helm. The Demorats led me to believe the Republicans had a problem with minorities....yet they have a minority who is the leader. Trump is right, McConnell is a hack. That said McConnell saved Trumps fat, fat arse in delaying the impeachment. As typical for Trump [along w/ his cult members] anyone who publicly speaks out about Trump is soon smeared, discredited on every public forum. He knows no other way. Had it not been for McConnell Trump wouldn't have been able to appoint as many Judges. McConnel may be a political hack in Trump's mind, Through his political 'genius' he enabled many protections for Trump, he delayed/tabled hundreds of bills. Typical Trump perceived victimhood
