REVEALED: Trump deleted line saying Mitch McConnell has 'too many chins but not enough smarts' from brutal statement calling him 'a dour, sullen and unsmiling political hack' who's 'destroying' the GOP

Former President Donald Trump was convinced by aides to delete a line from his blistering attack on Mitch McConnell which accused the Senate minority leader of having ‘too many chins but not enough smarts’, according to reports.

Trump lashed out at McConnell on Tuesday through his Save America PAC, calling the Republican Party’s most senior elected figure a ‘dour, sullen’, ‘unsmiling political hack’ days after he voted to acquit Trump of inciting the Capitol riot but then blasted his conduct in an excoriating speech.

In his lengthy, racially-loaded and vitriolic statement issued from Mar-a-Lago, Trump also accused McConnell of ‘destroying’ the GOP and urged the party’s senators to end his leadership.

In years past, some would say this particular person
‘had more Chins than a Chinese phone book!’
Now, some would say ‘What’s a phone book?

He should have gone ahead and left it in. Mitch can’t be anymore pissed off than he already is.

I agree with them that he should have deleted it, but how did it leak?

President Trump is still leading all headlines.
Nobody’s talking about Biden.

To paraphrase Obi Wan:
“If they strike Trump down, he shall become more powerful than they can possibly imagine.”

Don't you just hate the way the left tells you what to think without actually telling you what the quote was? Finding the actual quote is like a prolonged hunt with so many damn leftist news sources who play the same game.

True to form the media makes it sound like Trump is starting something when he’s actually responding to two attacks by the turtle.

If the GOP has any brains and common sense they will get rid of Mitch McConnell today......otherwise the GOP under the failed leadership of Mitch McConnell will die politically!!!

There are dozens of current GOP Senators that are both fully capable and fully equipped to take over the Senate GOP Caucus as effective leaders. Mitch McConnell is totally useless and has become another “Mitt Romney” 100% failure!!! GOP...get rid of McConnell immediately...like right now....TODAY!!!

**two attacks by the turtle.**

Did McConnell bait the Bear and Did Trump respond appropriately? And by that I mean, did he respond strategically?

Source was were scribbled on the wall of the men’s loo. Confirmed by the janitor who scrubbed it off.
