Trump called McConnell immediately and spewed expletives. “Mr. President,” McConnell told Trump, “the Electoral College has spoken. That’s the way we pick a president in this country.” Trump cursed McConnell. Disloyal! Weak! He claimed McConnell had won his reelection bid in Kentucky, months ago, because of Trump’s support. “And this is the thanks I got?” Trump asked. He was furious. Incredulous. “You never really got me. You don’t understand me.”
