Summary

Sen. Mitch McConnell warned that Donald Trump’s presidency places Americans in a “very, very dangerous world,” likening Trump’s isolationist policies to pre-World War II “America First” rhetoric.

McConnell, a staunch interventionist, criticized the GOP’s growing resistance to U.S. global engagement, particularly Trump’s stance on reducing aid to Ukraine.

While he voted for Trump in November, McConnell expressed concerns over Trump’s influence and the party’s direction.

Recently stepping down as Senate GOP leader, McConnell plans to focus his final term on countering isolationism within his party.

      Yep, this fucking coward could’ve gotten enough of the gop on board with impeachment after j6, and it would’ve solved the orange shitstain problem. He knew he was at the end of his career and plenty of his party hate Dump privately. Just from a pragmatic standpoint (bc it’s not like the gop is any better than the gqp) it was the smart move, but he couldn’t gird his loins for even a second in his long career as a POS.

    OH WOW, MITCH! THAT’S VERY FUCKING HELPFUL, MITCH MCCONNELL!

    Remember that time back in March when you endorsed Trump instead of disavowing everything he stands for and then he made fun of you for it during a November campaign rally? That’s some really fucking winner shit, asshole.

    Anyway, thanks for warning is about the impending disaster that you helped cause over decades of abusive politics.

      Imagine being on death’s doorstep and knowing your legacy will forever be helping to put a fascist on office.

      He’s likely to die before the monster he helped create is back in office. Spent his entire life fucking over the American people for what?

      Rot in shit, asshole

    McConnell, you motherfucker, you could have stopped this. You could have had your caucus in the Senate vote to convict, and ended the nightmare. You don’t get to complain about the “very dangerous world” you helped create.

      He’s probably saying this because he’s seeing how there is a number of people that have shown they do not agree and will not be a part of people’s lives who do. That coupled with the fact that Trump will probably become obviously stupid and Evil because he’ll have no one to stop him. In other words, the danger he is talking about is that Trump will make it obvious to many people that they are getting fuckedd. Maybe that’s just wishful thinking though

    I actually don’t understand his take AT ALL. Spineless. Absolutely spineless. Then he has the audacity to wag his finger saying “I warned you”. Was January 6th not enough? Where were you when he was impeached twice? You lead your caucus to acquit.

    The stroke must have taken more than just a couple of neurons. His frontal lobe must look like Swiss cheese bro.

    Funny, McConnell is one of the people most responsible for the state of the modern Republican party. Maybe even more than Trump himself.

      Makes me think of Anton Drexler. Leader of the Nazi party. He used Hitler’s popularity to further the party. Until they had a falling out and Hitler said it was Drexler or him. The party couldn’t afford to lose the most popular member so Drexler was out and Hitler was put it charge.
