Draft of Trump Statement Attacking McConnell Reportedly Mocked Him 'For Having Multiple Chins'

The fiery statement Donald Trump put out attacking Mitch McConnell — a statement in which he alluded to his repeated false claims about the 2020 election — was apparently more bizarrely personal in nature in the drafting stages.

Specifically, according to Politico, there were shots at McConnell over his chin. No, seriously:

A person familiar with the crafting of the statement confirmed that it could have been far worse. An earlier draft mocked McConnell for having multiple chins, the person said. But Trump was convinced by advisers to take it out.

“There was also a lot of repetitive stuff and definitely something about him having too many chins but not enough smarts,” the person said.

Trump adviser Jason Miller was apparently very involved in working on the statement, but denied to Politico “ever considering an attack on McConnell‘s appearance.”

Trump attacked McConnell after the latter’s speech denouncing the former over the January 6th attack on the Capitol. McConnell voted to acquit Trump but said he was morally responsible for the mob violence.

The substance of Trump’s statement was pretty striking, considering not just his continuing false insinuations about the 2020 election (ones that fueled his supporters before a mob of them stormed the Capitol), but also the attack on McConnell’s family including an implicit swipe at his wife Elaine Chao — who served in Trump’s cabinet as Transportation Secretary.

someone having multiple chins. Both of them, with their many chins, are hard on the eyes.

To me, Trump is a very average guy who made himself repulsive. The fat ass, the bad combover, the fake tan - those are choices.

Cruz, OTOH, that kind of ugly you have to be born with.

to write, and that ridiculously not-Trump thing about "dour, sullen" McConnell went out. Wonder what happened to Trump's old tweet writer, Dan Scavino. He made the sentences track but knew better than to enlarge Trump's vocabulary beyond fourth grade level.

He has the kind of looks that the right kind of character and personality could make attractive.

I’m sorry you had to go through the ordeal of looking through photos of him to find those, but they certainly do illustrate the point you’re making!

Trigger alert!

There is something about the combination of those lizard-like (dead) eyes, the hideous orange skin, the anal-pore of a mouth, ane td pretty much all the rest of the package that makes him absolutely repulsive. I have no idea how any woman could find him attractive. All the money in the world could not entice me.

He has always been ugly. Even when he was young. It's like the ugliness inside him just radiated outward. His soul shows up on his face. Even more so as each year passes.

OTOH, Michael Cohen is relatively handsome by comparison.

Look at them. I honestly think it looks like he has fetal alcohol syndrome, but whatever it is, there is something very screwed up looking in his eyes. The shape of them, the deadness, everything about them.

Has Trump ever had sex where force or money was not involved?

He is one of the most repulsive people I have ever seen.

Even when he was younger. He as just a walking smirk.
