5 insults TFG hurled at fellow Republicans in upcoming book

Former President Donald Trump hasn't slowed down when it comes to insulting people since leaving the White House.

In an excerpt from Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker's upcoming book I Alone Can Fix It published Monday by Vanity Fair, the journalists highlighted several moments from their hours-long March interview with Trump during which he tore into some of his least favorite Republicans.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) seemed to get the worst of it. "He's a stupid person," Trump reportedly said. "I don't think he's smart enough." Trump also referred to the senator as a "knucklehead" for not eliminating the filibuster, and said he has "no personality."

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R), who didn't cave to Trump's false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him in large part because of voter fraud in the state, was described by Trump as a "terrible Republican" who "did everything he could to block voter integrity."

at least he would get flamed, Alerted, shunned, patronized, condescended to, etc. -

*** ON EDIT: On second thought it works the flip way:: He would get 5K Views, 300 Recs, 75 adoring posts, etc.

Especially people who are much smarter than he is. I can't stand McConnell, but he is head and shoulders above Trump in the intelligence department.

In fact, just about everyone he has ever insulted is superior to him in almost every way.

Donald was smart enough to not accept their offer.

It doesn't take much to put them back in their place.
