'Closer than ever before': Trump rekindles relationship with Mitch McConnell

President Trump touted his relationship with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Monday, claiming they are "closer than ever" just months after he attacked the top Senate Republican in a series of bitter tweets.

"We just spent quite a bit of time inside with the Senate Majority Leader, who's been a friend of mine for a long time – long before my world of politics," Trump told reporters after meeting with McConnell to discuss the Senate's legislative agenda.

"We are probably now, despite what we read, I think ... closer than ever before," Trump added.

Trump blasted McConnell for failing to shepherd an Obamacare replacement bill through the Senate earlier this summer, claiming the GOP leader "who has screamed Repeal and Replace for seven years, couldn't get it done."

"The only problem I have with Mitch McConnell is that, after hearing Repeal and Replace for 7 years, he failed! That should NEVER have happened!" Trump tweeted in late August.

Trump to Mitch @ luncheon; "Now about your wife's position ... it just maybe on the line... and Mitch, did I mention that Bannon stating he's declared war on you is not an idle threat"?

Good.

Trump needs Mitch, and Mitch and vulnerable GOP Senators in '18 need Trump.

Trump is setting the dialogue and he's not afraid to go after a short con-artist grifter like Corker.

Donald Trump is 6'3".  Bob Corker is 5'7".   

Trump is an alpha male who doesn't like little punks like Corker.

Wow! I couldn't agree with you more, but then I remembered you chastising me recently that size does matter. You were talking about height, right?

I was talking about you, wasn't I?  Are you tall?

Listen. I don;t know what you heard but those rumors about Beiber are way over-exaggerated. It was a mild groping at best.

Now I'm beginning to think this might be a bullshit story.
