President Trump: Mitch McConnell Must Be Fired as Leader of the GOP Senate; the Upcoming September 18th Rally is a "Set-Up"

Checking in with the President...

"Bush now goes around lecturing everybody about all sorts of things, and he shouldn’t be lecturing anybody, because he's the one who got us into the mess of the Middle East," Trump continued. "In the 20 years since, it's been obliterated, and it's probably in worse shape now than it's ever been because of him."

"I think Mitch McConnell has proven to be a disaster," Trump said. "He's not good for the Republican Party as a leader, and I wish I wouldn’t have endorsed him."

"The Senate has to make a change at some point," he said. "I don’t think it's acceptable having him as a leader."

During the interview, Trump acknowledged the widespread disgust that most Americans have for the professional political class in Washington, D.C.

"There's a discontent with everything having to do with politics," Trump said about the general political situation in the country. "People are so disgusted with the way people are being treated from the Jan. 6 situation. It's a combination of that compared to how Antifa and BLM were treated. When you compare the treatment, it is so unjust, it is so unfair. It's disgraceful."

Trump also characterized the planned Sept. 18 rally at the U.S. Capitol as a "setup" meant to denigrate Republican voters regardless of what transpires.

"On Saturday, that's a setup," Trump said, referring to the rally. "If people don't show up they'll say, 'Oh, it's a lack of spirit.' And if people do show up they'll be harassed."
