Less than 24 hours ago, CNN.com published a story titled "Trump's team has eyes on Kentucky governor's race," as they hoped that a victory for the race's Trump-endorsed candidate would mean more evidence of his political clout.
But the following morning, Donald Trump was bashing GOP Attorney General Daniel Cameron as a shill of Mitch McConnell after he went down in defeat to Gov. Andy Beshear.
Ranting on his personal social media account, Trump absolved himself of any blame for Cameron's loss.

"Daniel Cameron lost because he couldn’t alleviate the stench of Mitch McConnell. I told him early that’s a big burden to overcome. McConnell and Romney are Kryptonite for Republican Candidates. I moved him up 25 Points, but the McConnell relationship was 'too much to bear,'" Trump posted.
Trump has long had a beef with the Republican Senate leader long before McConnell refused to help him overthrow the 2020 election.
Trump began complaining that he was “very disappointed in Mitch,” as early as 2017, when Trump's attempt to repeal Obamacare failed the GOP-led Senate.
“Our new president has of course not been in this line of work before, and I think had excessive expectations about how quickly things happen in the democratic process,” McConnell shot back in response.
The feud continued into Trump's last month in office and beyond.
“Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack, and if Republican Senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again,” Trump said in a Feb. 2021 statement from his PAC.
