(INTELLIHUB) — A new report in the establishment New York Times confirms a fact that many have long feared, Republican majority leader Mitch McConnell is not on the same page as President Trump and may be actively working against him.
The article, made possible by anonymous sources close to McConnell, goes as far as to directly say that the Rhino Republican doesn’t believe Trump will last much longer.
“The relationship between President Trump and Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, has disintegrated to the point that they have not spoken to each other in weeks, and Mr. McConnell has privately expressed uncertainty that Mr. Trump will be able to salvage his administration after a series of summer crises,” reported The Times.
The article continued, “What was once an uneasy governing alliance has curdled into a feud of mutual resentment and sometimes outright hostility, complicated by the position of Mr. McConnell’s wife, Elaine L. Chao, in Mr. Trump’s cabinet, according to more than a dozen people briefed on their imperiled partnership. Angry phone calls and private badmouthing have devolved into open conflict, with the president threatening to oppose Republican senators who cross him, and Mr. McConnell mobilizing to their defense.”
So there you have it. Add McConnell to the long list of establishment operatives who are either publicly or privately conducting business that directly attacks the president. The difference here is McConnell has real power in the Senate and his own wife is in Trump’s cabinet.
