Relationship Between Trump And McConnell Sours

A division is growing between President Trump and the top Republican in the Senate.  The "New York Times" reports that the President and Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell haven't spoken in weeks.  One of the last times they spoke, the conversation reportedly descended into a shouting match, with Trump berating McConnell for the failed healthcare vote.  Trump was also critical of McConnell for not protecting him on the subject of the Russia investigation.  

McConnell has reportedly been equally as critical of Trump.  In private, the Senate Majority Leader is said to have questioned the direction of Trump's presidency and whether Trump can lead Republicans into the 2018 midterm elections.
