Trump barrage stuns McConnell and his allies

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) did not intend to pick a fight when he questioned President Trump’s expectations and was surprised by the explosion it produced, according to people close to the Senate GOP leader.

McConnell and Trump spoke Wednesday about what McConnell’s allies characterized as a misunderstanding, but that did little to quell the president’s anger.

"We should have had healthcare approved," Trump said Friday from his New Jersey golf club. "[McConnell] should have known that he had a couple of votes that turned on him and that should have been very easy to handle, whether it's through the fact that can take away a committee chairmanship or do whatever you have to do."

Sources close to McConnell say he is stunned by Trump's attacks, which have only increased in recent days, as an attack on a member of his own team.

Why the surprise Mitch? Monkeys fling feces that's what they do.
