Mitch McConnell Says Trump Win Puts Americans In A ‘Very Dangerous World’

The GOP's outgoing Senate leader said he plans to spend his final two years in office pushing back against the Trump-fueled isolationism within his party.

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.

    Besides the fact that he could have stopped this, his issue is Trump’s isolationist stances. McConnell wants to keep the US being the world police force.

    Now, many on the left would say the US should stop being the world police force, and I would agree. However, Trump’s methods would result in China taking over instead of the US, and that’s not an improvement. Trump also seems determined to keep financing the military-industrial complex, even though we’d only need a fraction of it if we stopped sticking our noses everywhere.
