Trump will demolish Obama’s legacy just like he does with derelict properties that are in the way of his new building projects. lol
McConnell is not to be trusted on anything. He is a sleaze bag and a backstabber. I can’t wait for Trump to steamroll him.
I’m going to go way, way, out on a limb and predict that McConnell is going to be a pleasant surprise by being a good friend to President Trump.
Maybe all he needed was strong leadership .
Maybe all he needed was strong leadership .
Maybe he has just been under a black cloud.
