Former President Donald Trump reportedly took aim, again, at Sen. Mitch McConnell, this time in an interview for a book in which he is quoted as calling the former Senate majority leader a stupid person.
The comments were made public in an excerpt from the book I Alone Can Fix It: Donald J. Trump s Catastrophic Final Year, due out Tuesday, that was published on Vanity Fair s website Monday. The interview was conducted by the book s authors, journalists Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, in late March at Trump s Florida home, Mar-a-Lago.
“He’s a stupid person,” Trump is quoted as saying of the Kentucky Republican. “I don’t think he’s smart enough.”

We all know what they say about broken clocks, right? It appears that the
Washington Post has decided to dip its toe into actual journalism. The newspaper recently gave Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) four “Pinocchios” for flip-flopping on voter ID laws.
The article focuses on an interview the lawmaker gave to Fox News on July 13. During the conversation, host Neil Cavuto questioned Clyburn on his apparent change of heart on voter ID laws, which he has opposed in the past.
The author notes that the lawmaker “appeared irritated” by Cavuto’s line of questioning when he gave his answer:
CLYBURN: You know, Neil, I don’t know why people keep misrepresenting stuff. There’s not a single time that I have ever voted in my entire life and I’m going to be 81 years old next week there’s not a single time that I have voted that I did not ID myself.

Donald Trump’s cultural and long-term political legacy will be debated for decades. But his legacy for the Republican Party will be tested far sooner than that. He has the power to leave the GOP and the conservative movement intact or disastrously divided. It will all depend on whether Trump runs for president in 2024.
For the good of the country, his party, and himself, he shouldn’t.
It’s true and recognized by people with open minds that Trump catalyzed some overdue policy shifts in Washington while making inroads with crucial voter blocs. But his deficiencies as a candidate and as a leader compromised and in some cases wasted those gains. The only way for the Republican Party to secure and build on those gains is to move on from Trump himself.
