In the midst of his unhinged breakdowns, temper tantrums, and desperate excuses that are getting more unhinged by the second regarding the recent bombshell FBI search warrant raid against his Mar-a-Lago compound that’s now resulted in a full-blown Espionage Act investigation, it seems that scandal-ridden former President Donald Trump has turned his attention on Elaine Chao, his own former Transportation Secretary and wife of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (who Trump hasn’t been fond of for some time now.)
It seems Donald got his feathers into quite the ruffle after McConnell dared to publicly criticize the quality of the Republican candidates that Trump had thrown his endorsement behind during the primary campaigns — leading the washed-up former guy to launch an attack against Mitch and his wife, accusing the Senate Minority Leader of helping his “crazy” wife Elaine Chao “get rich on China.”
“Why do Republicans Senators allow a broken down hack politician, Mitch McConnell, to openly disparage hard working Republican candidates for the United States Senate,” Trump fumed in a new post on his floundering Truth Social platform that he uses to pretend as though he still has a Twitter account these days. “This is such an affront to honor and to leadership. He should spend more time (and money!) helping them get elected, and less time helping his crazy wife and family get rich on China!”

Trump’s rant, chock full of thinly-veiled racism, was a clear-cut jab at the fact that Chao’s father owns the Chinese shipping company Foremost Group. The company is a bit of a family affair, as Elaine’s sister serves as the CEO. While Chao maintains no formal ties to her father’s company, it’s a topic that both she and her husband, Mitch McConnell, have regularly been hounded on in regard to possible conflicts of interest during her time serving in Donald Trump’s presidential administration.
