Embattled Trump rips McConnell for GOP spending but doles out little of his own cash
Nypost ^ | 11/12/2022 | Rich Calder

Former President Donald Trump – who himself has come under fire for Republicans’ lackluster performance in the midterm elections – is blaming Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for the party’s apparent failure to flip the chamber’s majority in its favor.

“Mitch McConnell, the Republicans Broken Down Senate Leader, does nothing about this,” Trump on social media Friday night. “He’s too busy spending vast amounts of money on bad Senator Lisa [Murkowski] of Alaska when Kelly [Tshibaka] is FAR better.”

Yet Trump’s own spending choices in this year’s midterm elections have also drawn criticism.

And why is he begging the RNC to pay for his mass amount of legal bills and the stupid RNC is doing it too. They need to stop that crap right away.

Why would Trump spend any of his own money getting Republicans elected?

If he doesn't want Republicans elected why did he endorse so many?

Why should he? He is no CPAC.

Yeah DeSantis put on a good show and even had me fooled for awhile, until I got to know more about him. He’s a clever and calculating politician and definitely not MAGA.

They’re not the only ones. Many of what we consider to be right leaning news sites are doing the same and it pretty much happened overnight. They probably spent last weekend writing pro-DeSantis anti-Trump articles. This is a coordinated effort from Conservative Inc.

Ooooooh! NOW I get it.

Trump is finally spending some of his $100 million war chest to boost key GOP Senate hopefuls like Dr. Oz, Herschel Walker, and JD Vance

They want 45 broke so he has no money for his potential/eventual campaign.

Sneaky bass turds.

“Trump’s money is his money.”

The article wasn’t even about Trump’s personal money. It was about his PAC’s money. People don’t read the articles sometimes.

Let’s try this again:

Why are the MSM, the Establishment GOP, the Never-Trumpers clamoring to DeSantis?

Trump is a ringer? What? Why would he spend all his money and energy on rallies when the Dems have a plethora of powerful McRingers

Not even logical

He certainly didn't give it out to the actual candidates running.

That's a big accusation. You got the receipts?

They are referring to the money he raised to get Republicans elected.

Or is that just a ‘take my word for it’ moment?

After Bolduc stated publicly that Trump was wrong and Biden won legitimately then last minute asked Trump for help which he gave?

Trump could have done more? What?

Every sofa warrior on this thread could do more and it would never be a fraction of what Trump does

What is this? Illogical Saturday?

“Trump needs to remain the face of the MAGA movement. With all of his flaws, there’s no one else to stand in the breech, and he deserves continuing support from the base.”

This.

“ Trump endorsed McConnell for reelection, also all of McConnell’s allies”

He’s outspokenly sorry about it. Every Kentucky RINO voter along went cheating machine is responsible for that.
