CNN —
Former President Donald Trump on Friday night directly ridiculed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, saying on his social media platform that the Kentucky Republican had a “death wish” for supporting “Democrat sponsored bills.”
Trump’s broadside at McConnell and mockery of Chao came hours after Congress approved and President Joe Biden signed a stopgap funding bill to avert a federal government shutdown. The bill cleared the Senate on a 72-25 vote Thursday and the House on a 230-201 vote Friday.
In addition to money to keep government agencies afloat, the short-term funding measure provides around $12 billion for Ukraine, and it includes funding for disaster relief. The measure funds the government through December 16.
“Is McConnell approving all of these Trillions of Dollars worth of Democrat sponsored Bills, without even the slightest bit of negotiation, because he hates Donald J. Trump, and he knows I am strongly opposed to them, or is he doing it because he believes in the Fake and Highly Destructive Green New Deal, and is willing to take the Country down with him?” Trump wrote. “In any event, either reason is unacceptable. He has a DEATH WISH. Must immediately seek help and advise from his China loving wife, Coco Chow!”

Trump may not have directly ordered McConnell's execution. Are we to pretend the suggestion is coincidental? Trump wrote: "all of these Trillions of Dollars worth of Democrat sponsored Bills, without even the slightest bit of negotiation". Are either of those true? "without even the slightest bit of negotiation".
Trump says that about Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)? Biden's been in office for almost two years. What does CBO have to say about Trump's characterization?
More to the point Trump is condemning McConnell not on any substantive point of defective legislation, only that it's "Democrat sponsored Bills". The Democrats are in power. Who else would bring legislation to the floor than the party in power. How many times has Senator McConnell (R) said: "Elections have consequences" when things were favorable for McConnell? Has Trump switched to anarchy? Funding government, or any federal legislation introduced in accordance with congressional rule applicable when Republicans could have made issue of them.
Trump may not want to shut congress down. But even if this is intended merely as a rhetorical flourish, isn't it true Republicans would be passing legislation similar to the bills passed into law, apart from those candidate Biden promised before the election? If not, then the Republicans would have shut government down?
