@ Mitch McTurtle Face and Donald's Rump
According to the NY Times, Trump called McConnell Aug. 9 and criticized him over the July 28 health care bill collapse. Trump additionally attacked McConnell for not sufficiently protecting him from the ongoing Russia investigation:
In a series of tweets this month, Mr. Trump criticized Mr. McConnell publicly, then berated him in a phone call that quickly devolved into a profane shouting match.
During the call, which Mr. Trump initiated on Aug. 9 from his New Jersey golf club, the president accused Mr. McConnell of bungling the health care issue. He was even more animated about what he intimated was the Senate leader’s refusal to protect him from investigations of Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to Republicans briefed on the conversation.McConnell also "expressed horror" to his advisers about Trump's response to the white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, Va.https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/22/u...ell-trump.html
