Trump says he and McConnell are closer than ever before

“We are probably now, despite what we read – we’re probably now – I think at least as far as I’m concerned – closer than ever before,” Trump said at a White House Rose Garden appearance with McConnell. “The relationship is very good. We’re fighting for the same thing – we’re fighting for lower taxes, big tax cuts, the biggest tax cuts in the history of our nation.”

The two men said they have been friends for a long time, and McConnell said they were in frequent contact on a range of issues. Their White House meeting came as Republicans were trying to gather support for a tax reform plan that was another of Trump’s priorities during the presidential campaign.

“We have the same agenda,” McConnell told reporters. “We’ve been friends and acquaintances for a long time. We talk frequently – we don’t give you a readout every time we have a conversation.”

In August, Trump slammed McConnell repeatedly after a years-long Republican campaign to gut the 2010 Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, failed in the U.S. Senate.

I guess maybe Mitch's nose, like famous liar Pinocchio, is growing and he can stuff it even further up there.

The Trump regime is a 21st century Shakespearean tragedy - but with awful diction.

I guess that a ménage à trois qualifies them as getting closer. Now pass the brain-bleach.
