  • Donald Trump said Sen. Mitch McConnell has a "death wish" for supporting "Democrat sponsored Bills."

  • He also insulted McConnell's wife, Elaine Chao, referring to her as the "China loving wife, Coco Chow."

  • McConnell recently voiced support for changing the way Congress counts electoral votes.

In the latest salvo from the ongoing feud between Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell, the former president posted what appeared to be a death threat against the Kentucky senator on Friday.

After criticizing McConnell for approving "Trillions of Dollars worth of Democrat sponsored Bills," Trump wrote on Truth Social that he believes the Senate Minority Leader is doing so either to spite him "because he hates Donald J. Trump" or because he "believes in the Fake and Highly Destructive Green New Deal."

"In any event, either reason is unacceptable," Trump wrote. "He has a DEATH WISH."

The former president proceeded to insult McConnell's wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao: "Must immediately seek help and advise from his China loving wife, Coco Chow!"
