Donald Trump hits out at ‘dour, sullen’ Mitch McConnell in wake of dressing-down from US Senate Minority Leader

Former US president Donald Trump says the Republican Party can “never again be respected or strong” while senator Mitch McConnell is at the helm.

Mr Trump released a lengthy statement today slamming the Senate Minority Leader for his “lack of political insight, wisdom, skill and personality”.

“Mitch is a dour, sullen and unsmiling political hack,” Mr Trump said in the statement published on a “Save America” letterhead.

“If Republican senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again.

“We want brilliant, strong, thoughtful and compassionate leadership.”
