Reason Mitch McConnell is subservient to Trump

We keep reading and hearing that the leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell, will not pass any funding bills without the president’s approval. I wondered for a while why that would be.

The only explanation I could come up with is the job held by Mrs. McConnell, the secretary of transportation, Elaine Chao. I believe the president has let Sen. McConnell know that he better follow White House directions or else his wife will, once again, be a former Cabinet-level secretary.
