Once at odds, Trump and McConnell bonded over their shared pursuit of power at all costs
Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell were not each others biggest fans in the early days, but theyve learned to love each other. It turns out that what matters most to both is their shared dedication to the pursuit of power with no regard for ethics, morality, or the good of the nation. They may have wildly different styles, but theyre both after the same thing, and theyve come to appreciate that about each other.
"Theres been no less drama, but its been an extraordinarily successful Congress," McConnell said. "I think we understand each other better than we did last year. And its not an exaggeration to say that we talk all the time."
For his part, Trump has realized that McConnells buttoned-down exterior hides a true warrior for evil:
"He stared down the angry left-wing mob," Trump said. "He never blinked, and he never looked back, and he got us a man who will be one of our great, great Supreme Court justices." Trump later called McConnell "the greatest leader, in my opinion, in history. What weve done is incredible together."
