Recently, what had once been a governing alliance has now "curdled into a feud of mutual resentment" between Senator McConnell and President Trump. After a summer of many crises and contentions, McConnell has expressed doubts on whether Trump's can salvage his presidency. "I think he's going to blow up, self-implode," Mr. Hoffman said of Mr. Trump. "I wouldn't be surprised if McConnell pulls back his support of Trump and tries to go it alone." McConnell expressed doubts on whether Trump's presidency can be saved after he put blame on both sides at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va. Earlier however, Trump and McConnell publicly feuded over Senate Republicans failure to pass an ObamaCare repeal bill. In response, Trump tweeted, "The only problem I have with Mitch McConnell is that, after hearing Repeal and Replace for 7 years, he failed! That should NEVER have happened!"
