Losing the Republican majority in the Senate and his position as majority leader. He blames Trump and the MAGA cult for that, and he's mad as hell at the whole caboodle.
Remember that scene in Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock when Kirk is fighting the Klingon captain? His last words as he kicks the Klingon off a cliff are, "I *kick* have had enough *kick* of you *kick*" and the Klingon goes flying off into oblivion. I think that's about where Mitch is with Trump right now. 
In addition, he voiced opposition to Rick Scott's sunset plan almost a year ago, saying: "If we're fortunate enough to have the majority next year, I'll be the majority leader. I'll decide in consultation with my members what to put on the floor. We will not have as a part of our agenda a bill that raises taxes on half the American people and sunsets Social Security and Medicare within five years."

Mitch is a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them. He knows that going after SS is a stupid idea, and he's more than willing to use that issue as a cudgel against the MAGA cultists who (as he sees it) robbed him of his Senate majority leadership. He's fed up and ready to make them pay!
Hmm, all of a sudden I feel an urge to go make popcorn. 
Wonder why that is?
