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.
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.

McConnell should be ashamed of himself and just shut up, or better yet, get on the Trump train and help MAGA.
McConnell should be worried about his Senate seat.
18% approval in KY
Flake, Hatch, Heller and Corker need to be removed for their amnesty vote in 2018.
There is much Cantorizing to do.
Trump’s chances in 2020 are looking better than 18%-approval Mitch’s.
Trump hammered flake and mccaniac hard tonight. Mentioned no names, but the crowd knew who he was talking about chanted mccain.
Maybe there’ll be a Trump rally in Kentucky soon. Trump sure put McCain and Flake on the spot in his Phoenix appearance tonight, and with McConnell’s polls in the 18% approval range, he may also be in Trump’s sights. RINO senators may learn you don’t get into a pi$$ing fight with a man who has Air For One and a bully pulpit at his beck and call.
The damned post turtle had better start worrying, BIG TIME, about himself!
SPOT ON !
Career, do nothing politicians resent President Trump?
I didn’t think I could be more enthused to MAGA. Thanks, Mitch!
If McConnell were on the battle field and saw the enemy retreating, he’d pause, look to the people around him and say, “Well, it looks like our goose is cooked”, then lay down his arms and surrender.
According to the article, it is being told that Trump also chastised McConnell for not saving him from Russia/Trump collusion investigations. I watched CNN for a few minutes and boy were they having a field day with that.
The only guy leavin’ gon’ be you, Ditch.
Especially now that you’re starting a little whispering campaign to undermine Trump.
18% in KY? Grimes could beat you today.
What a clueless swamp monster.
“to salvage his administration”
I find this type of statement ridiculous. In my mind, the only people that think this way are liberals scared to death what he might do next, the media doing about the same, and conservative traitors that are more interested in getting themselves re-elected that sharing in the repair of this country.
As long as Trump is hammering those that are unfit to do their work and they are selling the country down river, then he’s the president, and they are cowards hiding behind their office from the people.
If they had the guts, they’d step out in front of the voters that put them there, and ask if the voters want them to stay there. And if they don’t, have a special election in the state for conservative voters only and liberal voters only, and replace them. And the losers will stay in office long enough to get replaced and will do the business of the country without trying to attack Trump the BS way they have been doing it. As someone might say, “You’re fired!” And Trump wouldn’t be saying it. The people would for their government.

LOL! Mitch is delusional or projecting!
beckon call...
“....you don’t get into a pi$$ing fight with a man who has Air For One and a bully pulpit at his beck and call.”
AND for whom your constituents will stand in 100 degree heat or bitter cold for hours to hear him speak.
What a clueless swamp monster
McConnell is no ordinary swamp monster...he operates in a league above all others...
McConnell is swamp monster royalty!
McConnell participates on thee swamp monster olympic team!
Yet, this Swamp Monster King is not loved in his own state...he enjoys a dismal 18% approval rating in his OWN STATE OF KENTUCKY...How does someone with that rating get elected 2 years ago???

Is there no way for the state of Kentucky have a recall, a “do over” or some legal remedy so we don’t have to wait another 4 long years to kick his arse out of Senate???

that’s how.
Wrong! From one of several on-line grammar sites:
"The correct phrase is 'beck and call.' If you are at someone's beck and call, you respond immediately whether he or she beckons or calls; it implies complete subservience. It's an old phrase, originating in the late 1800s, during a time when 'beck' was used to mean 'beckon.'"
