Mitch McConnell Says Trump Win Puts Americans In A ‘Very Dangerous World’

The GOP's outgoing Senate leader said he plans to spend his final two years in office pushing back against the Trump-fueled isolationism within his party.

Summary

Sen. Mitch McConnell warned that Donald Trump’s presidency places Americans in a “very, very dangerous world,” likening Trump’s isolationist policies to pre-World War II “America First” rhetoric.

McConnell, a staunch interventionist, criticized the GOP’s growing resistance to U.S. global engagement, particularly Trump’s stance on reducing aid to Ukraine.

While he voted for Trump in November, McConnell expressed concerns over Trump’s influence and the party’s direction.

Recently stepping down as Senate GOP leader, McConnell plans to focus his final term on countering isolationism within his party.

    Funny, McConnell is one of the people most responsible for the state of the modern Republican party. Maybe even more than Trump himself.

      Makes me think of Anton Drexler. Leader of the Nazi party. He used Hitler’s popularity to further the party. Until they had a falling out and Hitler said it was Drexler or him. The party couldn’t afford to lose the most popular member so Drexler was out and Hitler was put it charge.
