Is McConnell approving all of these Trillions of Dollars worth of Democrat sponsored Bills, without even the slightest bit of negotiation, because he hates Donald J. Trump, and he knows I am strongly opposed to them, or is he doing it because he believes in the Fake and Highly Destructive Green New Deal, and is willing to take the Country down with him? In any event, either reason is unacceptable. He has a DEATH WISH. Must immediately seek help and advise from his China loving wife, Coco Chow!
Trump claimed that Mitch McConnell has a death wish and appeared to try to incite violence against the Senate Minority Leader.
Trump's Truth Social DEATH WISH post about Mitch McConnell is yet another reason that Apple and Google shouldn't have it in their app stores

"Nothing to see here," conservative lawyer George Conway tweeted. "Just a former president of the United States seeking to incite violence against the minority leader of the United States Senate and launching a racist verbal attack on the leader's wife."
Former federal prosecutor Shanlon Wu wrote, "Donald Trump using blatant racist tactics in his desperate attacks on McConnell by trying to ridicule Asian American former Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao's name calling her 'Coco Chow' — [McConnell] and [GOP] should call him out and reject his racist hate — will they do it?"
"Hardly shocking that Trump would threaten Mitch McConnell by capitalizing the words 'death wish' — dog whistle invitation to Trump's extremist supporters — same Trump who believed his own VP Pence deserved to be lynched by the angry Jan. 6 mob Trump incited to violence," Wu added.

x Trump made an implied threat by stating Mitch McConnell “has a death wish” on social media.
If you made a similar threat using the same language against Trump or a family member (with the same language), how long would it take before law enforcement knocked on your door? — What'sAllThisNow (@SeeHearSmell) October 1, 2022
Why it matters: Trump's charged words against the Republican senator and his wife come weeks before the midterm elections where several Trump-endorsed candidates are seeking wins in key states.
Driving the news: In a Truth Social post on Friday, Trump said McConnell has a "death wish" because he supported "Democrat sponsored Bills."
The former president did not mention a specific piece of legislation in his post that McConnell is supporting.
Trump also called McConnell's wife, Elaine Chao, the "China loving wife, Coco Chow."
Chao was born in Taiwan and served in Trump's cabinet as the Secretary of Transportation. She resigned after the Jan. 6 riots.
resigned after the Jan. 6 riots. McConnell's office did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.
What they're saying: "This isn’t some crazy person on the internet, this is the GOP front-runner for President if the Party doesn’t wake up & demand better," Farah Griffin tweeted.
"He’s not even trying to hide the racism at this point. Just despicable."
Flashback: Trump's charged comments came days after McConnell shared his support for the bipartisan bill to reform the Electoral Count Act after the events of Jan. 6.
The big picture: McConnell's chances of becoming Senate majority leader again depend on Trump-supported candidates winning their midterm battles.
