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.

    He’s probably saying this because he’s seeing how there is a number of people that have shown they do not agree and will not be a part of people’s lives who do. That coupled with the fact that Trump will probably become obviously stupid and Evil because he’ll have no one to stop him. In other words, the danger he is talking about is that Trump will make it obvious to many people that they are getting fuckedd. Maybe that’s just wishful thinking though
