Trump gives McConnell insult-filled ultimatum on Biden agenda

Source: The Hill

Former President Donald Trump ripped into Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) once again on Wednesday, giving the leader an invective-filled ultimatum to stand firm against raising the debt ceiling and keep his conference unified against President Biden’s spending agenda.

Trump blasted his former Senate ally as “stupid” and a “fool” and accused him of “incompetence” in a long, tangled statement that jumped from expressing displeasure over Republican votes on a procedural motion related to raising the debt limit in October, to Congress’s passage of the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill this month, to the ongoing Democratic talks over a social spending bill.

-snip-

“McConnell is a fool and he damn well better stop their ‘Dream of Communism Bill’ and keep his Senators in line, or he should resign now, something he should have done a long time ago. Use the Debt Ceiling like it should have been used, you Old Broken Crow, to do so would hurt our Country far less than this horrible Bill,” Trump declared in a statement released through his Save America PAC.

-snip-

“Mitch McConnell couldn’t stop the first Bill so 19 Senators, including himself, joined in. That’s what he does—if you can’t beat them, join them. If he wasn’t so stupid and didn’t give the two-month extension, he could have stopped it all. Now he and his RINO friends will allow a much bigger and far worse Bill to pass, ruining our Country while giving the Democrats a great political lift, all at the same time,” he said.

Trump might actually win awards, if they gave awards for being a crybaby and an asshole.

His statements are getting more and more pathetic. I hope he's alienating at least some Republicans and independents with these crazy diatribes.

in 2011 putin was already using limbaugh. that year limbaugh pushed the tea bags (possible russian creation) to oppose raising the debt, telling them them for many weeks US couldn't possibly default and later that even if we did it was no big deal.

10 years later here we go again, but now without limbaugh. how many republican millionaires want US to default? not many. but putin would love it.

He needs the deranged Trump voters to do that, so he will say nothing. But if Trump runs again in 2024 and wins (legally or by other means), McConnell may find himself out of the leadership role because Trump will go after him and insist that he not be allowed that position. Republicans senators will be so afraid of his power by then that they’ll do whatever he wants. McConnell would be smarter yo fight back now and ensure that Trump is not the candidate in 2024.

But he's had ample opportunities to do so and he hasn't--probably for the reasons cited upthread.

However, McC may just be waiting for the appropriate opportunity and we all know that could come at any time.

------------

I think this diatribe by trump is more evidence of his worsening mental condition. Not only is what he said grossly immature, it's illogical and completely off the rails. No "statesman" has ever behaved like this. His pettiness is unparalleled.

It truly is embarrassing. His family needs to stage an intervention. They need to get him off the public stage and for their own future financial viability, out of the business.
