Just in case you thought Donald Trump ever stopped holding a grudge, he’s back just in time to remind you that he’s a huge racist, too.

As Trump has frantically tried to simultaneously peddle his “rigged election” lie and cover for his own failures as President, his relationship with former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has soured considerably. The man Trump once thought of as an ally has revealed himself to simply have been politically expedient.

Simply put, Mitch does what he does because it’s good for him — much like Trump himself. So when McConnell voted for Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill, putting his own concerns over his loyalty to Trump, the former president lost his mind and sparked a furious back-and-forth between the two.

But it wasn’t just McConnell’s vote for a bipartisan bill that angered Trump. He was still bitter that Mitch didn’t back him while he was fighting to convince America he’d actually won the 2020 election.

Even that wasn’t enough for Trump to harbor resentment about, though. The recent revelation that McConnell had tried to disinvite him from Joe Biden’s inauguration prior to him declaring he wouldn’t attend made him look weak.

That’s what Trump was referencing when he issued an official statement on Monday:

Latest Trump statement accuses “old broken-down Crow, Mitch McConnell,” of working with China.

I would never have agreed to go to Joe Biden’s inauguration. This decision was mine, and mine alone.

But did you catch that? Trump’s reference to McConnell’s wife was, of course, a subtly racist dig at his former Transportation Secretary.

Surely Trump remembers that Elaine Chao is from Taiwan and that if her country of origin had anything to do with the work her husband does (instead of helping Trump lie), it probably wouldn’t be anything that benefited China.

None of that matters, though. Trump has a feud to maintain.
