00:00
Being in former President Donald Trump's inner circle is a bit like Heidi Klum's catchphrase
00:05
on Project Runway, one day you're in, the next day you're out. During his presidency,
00:10
Senator Mitch McConnell seemed like he was Trump's number one fan. But what is their
00:15
relationship really like? Is McConnell heading to Mar-a-Lago for weekend golf trips with the
00:20
former president, or are they now nemeses? Now that Trump is no longer the president,
00:25
it looks like the relationship between the two politicians has changed somewhat.
00:29
To set the stage, right now it looks like Trump could be considering running for president again
00:34
in 2024. Meanwhile, McConnell is still in the Senate, but since the Republican Party is no
00:39
longer in the majority, he's hard at work to make sure they still have some power.
00:43
Also, there was that whole insurrection and impeachment business. So are they still working
00:48
together? Here's what we could find out. In July of 2021, Trump railed against McConnell,
00:53
accusing him of endorsing a Senate candidate Trump does not like and calling him an
00:57
Old Crow. For his part, McConnell sort of shrugged off the insult, telling CNN,
01:02
Actually, it's quite an honor. Old Crow is Henry Clay's favorite bourbon.
01:06
But this is not the first time that Trump has come for McConnell.
01:09
Even though McConnell didn't vote to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial in February,
01:14
Trump apparently didn't think the senator was strong enough in his support.
01:18
But Mitch McConnell didn't have the courage to challenge the election.
01:22
After McConnell released a statement condemning Trump's behavior, Trump released a statement of
01:27
his own, calling McConnell a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack. Then, at a donor event
01:33
in April, Trump called the Kentuckian a, quote, stone-cold loser, NBC reported. Not that McConnell
01:39
wants anything to do with Trump anymore, either, as he has made clear in recent statements. So yeah,
01:45
not exactly besties. Now, everyone knows by now that former President Donald Trump isn't one to just
01:50
let things go, especially not when he feels like he's been betrayed. So it's not exactly what you
01:56
call shocking that once Trump and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had their falling out,
02:01
the ex-POTUS did not take a live-and-let-live attitude about it. Meanwhile, McConnell seems
02:06
more than ready to just move on. In an interview with Fox News, McConnell seemed to suggest that
02:11
he wanted the Republican Party to move on from Trump. McConnell said,
02:15
We're looking to the future, not the past. And if you want to see the future of the Republican
02:19
Party, watch Senator Tim Scott. He's the future. But letting go of the past doesn't appear to be
02:25
Trump's style. He has called McConnell, quote, very bad for the Republican Party, plausibly because
02:31
McConnell hasn't budged when it comes to blaming Trump for the January 6th riot, and has blocked some
02:36
of Trump's attempts to get rid of Republicans he doesn't like, such as Senator Lisa Murkowski.
02:41
However, according to some September reporting, Trump is taking a bit more action than McConnell
02:46
when it comes to defeating his rival.
02:47
The Mitch McConnell is another beauty, by the way.
02:51
The Wall Street Journal reported that not only does former President Donald Trump dislike McConnell,
02:56
he is actively recruiting allies to get McConnell kicked out of his leadership position. At the moment,
03:02
McConnell is the head Republican in charge in the Senate, otherwise known as the Senate Minority Leader.
03:07
And McConnell has been the GOP's top dog for a record eight terms. And this is the guy that Trump
03:13
is attempting to oust. Unfortunately for Trump, it looks like this is a lost cause. According to the
03:18
Wall Street Journal article, even Trump's best buddies in the Senate, like Tommy Tuberville and
03:23
John Kennedy, don't think that getting rid of McConnell is anywhere in the realm of possibility.
03:28
At the end of the day, it looks as though the relationship between McConnell and Trump was
03:32
more of a backscratching situation than actual friendship. And now that Trump is no longer in
03:38
power, McConnell is ready to move on — and take the rest of his Republicans with him.
03:42
So assuming Trump's scheme to depose McConnell fails, what will his next move be? A lawsuit?
03:48
A fiery Fox News interview? Whatever it is, we're settling in for a long, long feud.
