Trump reportedly 'spewed expletives' at McConnell after the senator acknowledged Biden's win

on the Senate floor

After the Electoral College affirmed Joe Biden's win in December 2020, then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell delivered a long-awaited speech on the Senate Floor acknowledging Biden as president-elect after six weeks of refusing to recognize his win.

"The Electoral College has spoken. So today I want to congratulate President-elect Joe Biden," McConnell said.

The acknowledgment infuriated then-President Donald Trump, according to an excerpt from a forthcoming book by Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa that was obtained by CNN.

Trump was in the midst of mounting several failed legal battles in an attempt to overturn the legitimate results of the race.

3. Trump is sooo obviously a spoiled brat that has grown into a large man's body.

His parents had to send him to military school to get him out of the house.
He is that spoiled rich kid that everybody hates in the Disney movies. If anyone says no to him, he throws a fit for attention until he gets the attention he is after.
You right wing hut jobs can claim he is sent from God until Hell freezes over, but YOU deal with his crying because the rest of us are done with it.

10. I think you all are downplaying the plan.

I know in Florida, this is what they do. They get a groundswell of support to drown out any criticism to their mission. They bully people, showing up in places where they can intimidate the less supportive neighbors with their creepy stares.

January 6th was an Insurrection. It was expected to stop the validation of the count and they fully assumed they could continue doing, what they do in their small towns year round. So, at least you should stop underplaying Trump's reaction. He would have been livid because he needed every Republican on board in order for it to work.

11. Listen, Donald, we get it. We've all wanted to curse Mitch McConnell at one point or another.

But that being said, you've got to actually have a valid reason to do it.

Otherwise, you're just blowing your load.

12. "At" McConnell, but over the phone, not to his face. That tracks.

It's as close to being within sight of direct confrontation as Trump is capable of.

(With men, at least.)
