“Donald Trump once described Mitch McConnell as his ‘ace in the hole’ and wrote, in a foreword to the Senate Republican leader’s autobiography, that he ‘couldn’t have asked for a better partner’ in Washington,” The Guardian reports.
“Except, according to Trump, he didn’t.”
“Speaking to the Washington Post for a profile of the Senate minority leader published on Monday, Trump said he told McConnell: ‘Why don’t you write it for me and I’ll put it in, Mitch? Because that’s the way life works.'”
“McConnell did not dispute Trump’s account.”
