What makes him think McConnell wants anything to do with the conservative agenda?
Bingo!
“What makes him think McConnell wants anything to do with the conservative agenda?”
I don’t entertain any doubts that Trump knows which side of the aisle McConnell leans toward the most. I think Trump’s comment was less about any actual thought that McConnell is a real ally, and more about hanging McConnell out to dry by exposing actions he could have taken — and WOULD have, if he were a true ally — but didn’t.
Think of it as Trump openly telling McConnell that he already knows every single card the old gobbler’s got in his hand.
That’s some high stakes poker, right there.
