Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell described then-President Donald Trump as 'stupid,' 'ill-tempered,' 'despicable,' and a 'narcissist' after the 2020 election, according to excerpts from an upcoming biography. McConnell's remarks, reported by @Tackettdc and AP News, highlight his disdain for Trump's behavior, which he believed justified the American people's decision to vote Trump out of office. McConnell reportedly stated that Trump's behavior underscored the good judgment of the American people, who had 'just enough of the misrepresentations, the outright lies almost on a daily basis, and they fired him.'
