You knew he would publicly end up blaming it on Antifa and Black Lives Matter eventually, right?
And this is one of the most outrageous lies he tells but I guess his damaged psyche needs to say it:
The former president of the United States once again tried to reignite a public battle with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday in an interview with Lou Dobbs, a former Fox News host.
Speaking on the latter’s podcast, Donald Trump reiterated his claim that the long-serving senator from Kentucky only won re-election against his well-funded Democratic opponent, Amy McGrath, due to his endorsement as de facto leader of the GOP.
His remarks came in response to a question from Dobbs about whether Mr McConnell was attempting to drive “friction” between Mr Trump and Ron DeSantis, the GOP governor of Florida who like Mr Trump is widely seen as a potential 2024 candidate for president.
The claim is pure speculation, and likely not valid given that Mr McConnell easily won re-election by nearly 20 per cent of the vote despite Ms McGrath receiving fundraising support from around the nation.
“I get along very well with [Ron DeSantis], McConnell is another story,” Mr Trump said. “Look, I endorsed him, he only won re-election because of me too.”
“If I didn’t endorse him, he would’ve lost,” Mr Trump added. “If I don’t endorse Mitch McConnell, he loses.”
It’s utterly ridiculous. Mitch McConnell has been in that seat since 1985 and is the most powerful Republican in the congress. Trump’s bottomless need to attribute his influence to the success of every Republican in the country is embarrassing, particularly since when he took office they had the White House, the House and Senate and now they have nothing.
