With the Senate prepared to pass a massive infrastructure bill with bipartisan support, Donald Trump lashed out at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Tuesday morning.
Banned by Twitter, the former president issued a statement via his spokesperson Liz Harrington.
"Nobody will ever understand why Mitch McConnell allowed this non-infrastructure bill to be passed. He has given up all of his leverage for the big whopper of a bill that will follow," Trump wrote before adding, "I have quietly said for years that Mitch McConnell is the most overrated man in politics—now I don't have to be quiet anymore. He is working so hard to give Biden a victory, now they'll go for the big one, including the biggest tax increases in the history of our Country."
Critics of the former president were quick to point out that he managed to lose re-election and now -- with the bill about to be passed -- his influence is waning, leading to questions of whom is really overrrated.

No, The Former Guy will never understand, because anything that doesn't benefit him personally, he doesn't understand. The infrastructure bill benefits everyone, but TFG, so it's understandable that he is perplexed and so vexed about it.— Johnny Rocko (@Johnny Rocko) 1628603351

Gosh. So sad. If you would have won re-election, perhaps you would have had some leverage over Mr. McConnell. Alas, one of the two of you was re-elected last November. Hint: It wasn't you, liar.— Keith Murray (@Keith Murray) 1628603324

It\u2019s just so pathetic that an old man is sitting in his fake castle pretending he\u2019s still president. He\u2019ll be slobbering in a corner with a full diaper by 2024.— Life is a Beach (@Life is a Beach) 1628603678

He allowed it cuz it's good for the country and very popular with the electorate. TFG couldn't get it done so he's upset and whining as usual and orange with envy— j k (@j k) 1628603094
