If you’re just now tuning in, previously on Trump Wars, the senate majority leader and the titular president, aka The Tortoise and The Hair were not getting along:
Can you believe that Mitch McConnell, who has screamed Repeal & Replace for 7 years, couldn’t get it done. Must Repeal & Replace ObamaCare!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 10, 2017
Mitch, get back to work and put Repeal & Replace, Tax Reform & Cuts and a great Infrastructure Bill on my desk for signing. You can do it!

But then lo and behold, the earth must have passed through a cloud of fairy dust during the night because Donald Trump informed one and all that , “We have been friends for a long time and probably now—despite what we read—we are probably now, I think, at least as far as I’m concerned, closer than ever before, the relationship is very good. We are fighting for the same thing.” McConnell did his bit and dutifully chimed in, “We are together totally on this agenda to move America forward.”
Twitter had a different view of this Rose Garden love fest:
do the police know about a deranged old man holding mitch mcconnell hostage in the rose garden

Interesting to watch @SenateMajLdr & @realDonaldTrump get on their knees in the Rose Garden begging Steve Bannon to call off his war against Mitch McConnell.

A kid asked me what shamelessness mean – i was lucky to have TV on that showed Mitch McConnell standing next to Trump in Rose Garden

45: I have a “fantastic relationship” with the Senate. “They like and respect me.”
Mitch McConnell: Not gonna react. Not gonna react. Aargh! pic.twitter.com/xot06xaeRE— Cheryl Blackford (@BlackfordBooks) October 16, 2017
Watching Mitch McConnell endure the humiliation of being forced to subjugate himself to Trump on live TV is quite enjoyable

Faustian bargains can be a real bitch, eh what, Mitch?
