“He has a DEATH WISH,” wrote Donald Trump, on Truth Social, his version of Twitter. “Must immediately seek help and advise from his China loving wife, Coco Chow!”
The “he” is Senator Mitch McConnell. The “China loving wife, Coco Chow!” is Elaine Chao, McConnell’s wife, who was the transportation secretary in the Trump administration.
This is the kind of thing that most Republicans chuckle at, in my experience — Republicans in politics and in the media. “Well, that’s the way he talks,” they say. “He may not be as polished as a Buckley or as genial as a Reagan, but he believes the same things, and he fights, and” blah blah blah.
Someone ought to pull a Joseph N. Welch on Trump — some top GOP-er, in politics or the media. “Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?” Who will do it? McConnell? Some cable host? One of the big podcasters?
I guess Lindsey Graham is out.
Liz Cheney has done it, of course — and the GOP is done with her (and I think she with it). There would be a cost to saying no to Trump’s nastiness, even at this late date. But when is there not a cost to courage? Otherwise it would not be courage.
I myself am an appreciator of sharp elbows. Mine are pretty sharp themselves. But what Trump manifests — and has always manifested — is something else. Peggy Noonan wrote a book about Ronald Reagan called “When Character Was King.” Character was cast out of the kingdom some years ago. But maybe it can come back?
Lately, I have been noting the comebacks of “America First” and “Christian nationalism.” If those things can come back — maybe other things can as well.

You idiots make me sick. Go ahead put another socialist in the WH and see where that lands you. Sad thing is the rest of us have to suffer right along beside you pristine and pure idiots.
Just one thought: How different would the Bible be; how different would we be if God had chosen humans with better personalities, better decorum and more saintly behavior to work through?
Naw don’t bother. I’m one of those flawed people like Moses and Matthew. Bad comments might send me running to my safe place where I can throw out some more Donald Trump like insults!
I think he picked her because he thought it would help him in getting along with the Senate Majority Leader. I don’t think he had any idea, and neither did any of us, how vicious these people are and what they would do to him and, by proxy, to us and our country. I think Trump was being a smart, decent human being and leader by doing so. Too bad he was up against pure evil.
Agree 100%
You can dislike Trump for many things racism isn’t one of them. You may not like his dig at Mitch’s wife but it isn’t based on racism. It is she does try always though be a CoCo Chanel
Indeed it does
Good points!
Cuck
Good point
Right. Let’s do some more style over substance bs like we did with the traitor Bush’s, it worked so well! You are no conservative.
We recognize you. We think you’re a God-hating communist and you should go sob elsewhere.
It’s schtick.
You do realize that President Trump is authorizing his name and likeness to be used by the National Republican Senatorial Committee to help elect Republicans, including several that are not supportive of him?
Do you really think that could occur without the approval of Minority Leader McConnell?
I’ve thought for awhile that President Trump is more congenial in private with Republicans he calls out in public. The public comments I believe are a lot of show.
I think some RINO Freepers don’t realize that we are sick of their same old crap. Assistant Democrats are all you are. Trump fights and he wins. Look up his endorsement stats.
I think you may be too kind. Mitch MADE Trump appoint his China-spy wife/handler.
My bet is that the Swamp took Trump into a room, after he’d “won”, and told him what he would do to keep from being impeached and sent to jail. That’s what all the fake charges against him were about - hog-tying his presidency.
How is he a racist?
Why yes, our country is doing SO much better since we got rid of the guy with the mean tweets!
I love President Trump and if he’s the nominee I’ll vote for him. But I do believe he crossed a line this time. His beef was with the Minority Leader, not his wife. And he never should have used the phrase “death wish.”
<< Liz Cheney has done it, of course >>
She’s already on record saying she’d vehemently oppose any America-First conservative. So with her and her ilk it’s not about Trump and his personal style, it’s about their globalism vs American nationalism.
Most of his hires were bad hires but no one was allowed to say it here without getting beat up...I was especially vocal about Wray and Omarosa but was told Trump knew better . He did not .
But the problem was he didn’t have a lot to choose from and some of the hires were surely deals he made..like with Elaine.
i think Republican ‘nice’ has lost us quite enough. not using those elbows lost us our school system, has drowned us in debt, has created a law enforcement/military recruitment crisis and has encouraged another ‘endless war.’ i’m not even mentioning the economy, the family, the war on religion, etc. ‘going along to get along’ is a winner for D’s who own the Establishment Trump threatens. it MUST be dismantled before totally corrupted. we don’t have time for another learning curve. and Nikki Haley? come on man.
