According to a new book, Donald Trump called the leader of the Senate a piece of shit.

An excerpt of Trump's comments about the Senate Minority Leader was published in The Atlantic.

According to The Atlantic, Trump thought congressional lawmakers would be like a New York City political consultant who ruled with an iron fist.

According to The Atlantic, Trump said he thought the McConnells would be like him.

McConnell was once an ally of Trump's who kept Republican senators in line over and over to advance Trump's policy and personnel concerns and protect his political standing as the leader of the Republican party.

Their relationship deteriorated after McConnell disowned Trump following the attack on the Capitol. Insider reported that McConnell said that Trump was responsible for provoking.

"The Old Crow's a piece of shit" is what he said in an interview with Trump.

McConnell's spokesman did not reply to Insider's request on Sunday.
