Summary

Sen. Mitch McConnell warned that Donald Trump’s presidency places Americans in a “very, very dangerous world,” likening Trump’s isolationist policies to pre-World War II “America First” rhetoric.

McConnell, a staunch interventionist, criticized the GOP’s growing resistance to U.S. global engagement, particularly Trump’s stance on reducing aid to Ukraine.

While he voted for Trump in November, McConnell expressed concerns over Trump’s influence and the party’s direction.

Recently stepping down as Senate GOP leader, McConnell plans to focus his final term on countering isolationism within his party.

    I thinking in the fleeting moments of clarity in between episodes, he really wants that vote back.

    No he doesn’t. It was classic McConnell hypocrisy. He will say one thing and do the opposite when it’s for his team.

    He’ll vote for Trump’s plans in Congress while pretending to be the reasonable politician to manipulate opinion.
