Former President Trump said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has a “death wish” for supporting bills that congressional Democrats have sponsored.
The former president said in a post on his social media platform Truth Social on Saturday that any reason McConnell has for supporting the bills — be it that he knows Trump is opposed to them or if he believes in the “Fake and Highly Destructive Green New Deal” — are “unacceptable.”
Trump’s post comes after McConnell supported a continuing resolution to fund the government through the middle of December and avoid a government shutdown.

Trump also attacked McConnell’s wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, who served during the Trump administration, calling her McConnell’s “China loving wife.”
Trump attacked Chao last month in a post on Truth Social, calling her McConnell’s “crazy wife.”

Hard to read the last two sentences here as anything other than a threat and an openly racist slur. pic.twitter.com/80tL9bGodC

It's an embarrassment that Donald Trump was ever our president. It's an embarrassment that so many still support him, and that so many others in his party cower before him. pic.twitter.com/ZUySuJba1B

“Pathetic” isn’t even the right word for this latest Trump bovine excrement. “Pathetic” implies a measure of sympathy. I can’t muster that feeling.
76 years old with the mental and emotional maturity of the proverbial schoolyard bully. This was the president of the United States. No class, no decorum. Just childish insults. No wonder our allies & even our enemies lost all respect for the US. Poor President Biden has had to work hard to regain that respect.
This post is a reminder of why Trump should never get back into the White House.
By the way — will McConnell rebuke Trump for the insults to his wife? I’m guessing he won’t. He’s either the run of the mill coward or Trump has something on him that he’s afraid to say anything.
