Republican President Donald Trump’s first month in office is the sort of beginning that any other Republican president may have had, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Friday.
“As I look at what we might have expected from a President Mitt Romney or a President Marco Rubio, or a President Jeb Bush at the beginning of their tenures in office, I can’t see much difference between what President Trump is doing and what they would have done,” McConnell, R-Ky. told a Capitol news conference.
Trump’s chaotic first month has included an appeals court rejection of his travel ban on citizens from seven Muslim-majority nations, the forced resignation of his national security adviser, the withdrawal of his nominee for labor secretary and a series of leaks that portray a White House beset by infighting.
McConnell’s news conference came hours before Congress left Washington for its first extended recess since Trump became president. Democrats and their allies are planning protests around the nation while lawmakers are home.
McConnell did have some criticism of Trump, saying he’s not comfortable with the president’s use of Twitter as his preferred method communication....

So what’s Johnny and Lindsey’s problem?
The main difference is Trump has a completely different attitude.
He’s insulting Trump.
wth is he talking about? he’s crazy if he truly believes that...
I can’t see much difference between what President Trump is doing and what they would have done,”

I can, Yeb! or Rubio would be signing an amnesty bill shortly.
But McConnell is probably speaking to people in both parties who think Trump is the Antichrist and signaling to them to calm down.
Nothing wrong with that.
Bothe McCain and McDonnel are flaming assholes.
He has just signed his political epitaph!
SEEYA, MITCH! GOOD LUCK IN YOUR NEXT REINCARNATION!
Ever since Steve Bannon said mitch wouldn’t be the one choosing who runs for a senate seat anymore, he’s been in a snit.
ROTFLMAO.
Bush and Rubio came with pocket knives. Trump let them have it with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG3Hi7K9MU4
Turtle is a fool.
McConnell is just a turtle with a post to sit on.
I dont remember Trump having a foamy day..
I don’t think ANYTHING Mitch McConnell said is “signaling to them to calm down.”
All he is doing is stirring up the opposition, to no good end for either Trump, the Republican Party or the USA!
It is past time for McConnell to resign!
No, the main difference is that President Trump has a set of stones.
The Turtle is delusional.
Would the media be any different? The key is to have a D
next to your name meaning double standard. You can lie, cheat, violate the law and still have a job or be in office.
The media has tenure like a Professor. They are not fired even though they cannot teach or communicate properly.
Trump put McConnell wife in charge of transportation. And it’s the first place that huge spending is going to happen
And, how does that exempt ol’ Mitch FRom having to bee accountable for his words and deeds?
“You’re Fired!” works for me in re: Ms. Chao!
“I can’t see much difference between what President Trump is doing and what they would have done,” McConnell, R-Ky. told a Capitol news conference.”
I don’t have an issue with Turtle saying that - what he’s doing is pointing out just how HYSTERICAL the Left and the Media are acting...when all you really have in the White House is ‘just another Republican’. I think it’s very effective put-down of our enemies.
