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.
I’m not trying to stop people talking about it. You said it felt bad that you can’t vote right or wrong because both sides feel terrible and the only choice is going for the one that is less terrible. I’m saying that if you voted Dem you still put effort towards doing the right thing. If you really want to feel bad about it from even the angle I’ve been taking this whole time then I’m sorry for interrupting your kink or whatever.
