In a recent interview, President Trump expressed doubt about Senator Mitch McConnell's mental fitness and questioned whether he ever had polio. This came after McConnell voted against Trump's nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the Department of Health and Human Services, citing Kennedy's promotion of conspiracy theories. Trump's remarks included a dismissal of McConnell's relevance in the Republican Party and a reaffirmation of Kennedy’s potential in the new role. The incident highlights growing tensions between Trump and established Republican figures over party direction and candidate support.
Well I feel sorry for Mitch, Trump told Collins. He's not equipped mentally. He wasn't equipped ten years ago mentally in my opinion.
McConnell cited his polio diagnosis during his childhood as one of the reasons he voted against Kennedy, stating that Kennedy has a record of trafficking in dangerous conspiracy theories.
Collins mentioned this reasoning to Trump, who then doubted whether McConnell actually had polio, saying, 'I have no idea if he had polio.'
Trump asserted, 'If I didn't come along, the Republican Party wouldn't even exist right now.'
...he's almost not even really a very powerful member. And I'd say he's not a power he's lost his power and it's affected his vote.
