The outburst comes on Trump’s own social medium Truth Social. Trump’s comments come after McConnell, who is the leader of the Republicans in the Senate, entered into a temporary agreement with the Democrats on continued funding of the state apparatus until December. President Joe Biden signed the law on Friday, writes The Hill. – He has a DEATH WISH, Trump wrote on his own online platform. He also made disparaging comments about McConnell’s wife Elaine Chao, who was born in Taiwan. He referred to her as “his China-loving wife, Coco Chow!”. Mitch McConnell has been under fire from Donald Trump lately.

A spokesman for Trump said it was “absurd” to interpret the message as a threat or an incitement to violence, suggesting the reference was meant politically and not literally. It is not the first time Trump has attacked either McConnell or his wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao. A few weeks ago, Trump wrote a post on Truth Social, calling her McConnell’s “crazy wife.” Trump thus adds fuel to the fire in the feud with McConnell, who recently supported the “Electoral Count Act”, which senators have promoted in response to the rebellion and the storming of Congress on January 6, 2021. On January 6, 2021, thousands of Trump supporters gathered in Washington to protest the election results and around 2,000 broke into the Congress. Five people died and 128 police officers were injured. With the new law, the senators would increase the number of members of Congress required to object to the results being reanalyzed when the ballots are counted. Today, only one senator and one representative need to object, but the new legislation would raise the threshold to one-fifth of both chambers. McConnell’s office has not responded to the newspaper’s inquiry about the matter.
