Mitch McConnell is no friend of Donald Trump.

But his efforts to sabotage Trump are reaching absurd levels.

And Mitch McConnell hatched one plan to stab Donald Trump in the back that will make your blood boil. 

Mitch McConnell’s plan to raise taxes

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) already surrendered in the government funding fight by pledging there would be no shutdown.

“I think we first have to wait and see what the House sends us. My only observation about this whole discussion is the one thing you cannot have is a government shutdown. It would be politically beyond stupid for us to do that right before the election because certainly, we’d get the blame,” McConnell said at a press conference.

But he isn’t just caving into demands that Republicans fully fund Vice President Kamala Harris’ woke agenda.

McConnell held a closed-door meeting with Senate Republicans where he outlined a plan to raise taxes to as high as 70 percent to fund the war in Ukraine.

In the meeting, McConnell read from the Commission on the National Defense Strategy about why Republicans should agree to undo former President Donald Trump’s signature tax cut law to pay for border security in Ukraine.

“McConnell brought in experts from the Commission on the National Defense Strategy to discuss the commission’s recent report. In the executive summary of the report, the commission claims that ‘increased security spending should be accompanied by additional taxes and reforms to entitlement spending.’ Furthermore, the United States should be prepared to ‘lead NATO planning… to deter and, if necessary, defeat Russian aggression,’” the Daily Signal reports.

McConnell’s tax increase

McConnell then used the Cold War as a model and read from the Commission on the National Defense Strategy about how the top income tax rate through much of the Cold War was 70 percent.

“Defense spending in the Cold War relied on top marginal income tax rates above 70 percent and corporate tax rates averaging 50 percent,” the Commission on the National Defense Strategy stated.

 “Using the Cold War as a benchmark for spending should be accompanied by acknowledging the other fundamental changes that could supplement America’s efforts to deter threats and prepare for the future,” the report added.

President Ronald Reagan changed all this in 1980 with his historical promise to slash income tax rates.

Both he and Trump oversaw historic economic booms thanks to their tax cut bills.

McConnell wants to undo proven policies that grow the economy because his stated goal is that funding the war in Ukraine is his number one priority.

McConnell put securing the border in Ukraine above securing the border in America by negotiating spending deals that included tens of billions of dollars in funding for Ukraine but no new money for border enforcement here in America.

Now he thinks the American people haven’t suffered enough under Kamala Harris’ inflation and wants to go back to former President Jimmy Carter’s tax rates to keep the Ukraine war gravy train rolling along.
