President Donald Trump pulled no punches regarding Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Thursday, calling the former majority leader an "angry man" and a "bad guy."

Trump spoke with reporters in the Oval Office after signing a proclamation ending Obama-era fishing regulations. His comments aired live on Newsmax and the free Newsmax2 streaming platform.

He was asked about the prospects of the Senate passing a third reconciliation budget package that Republicans have discussed using for supplemental funding for the conflict in Iran, election-integrity provisions tied to the SAVE America Act and restrictions on transgender participation in women's athletics.

McConnell, 84, who is retiring before the new Congress starts in January, said in a Tuesday hearing, "I think it's safe to conclude there will not be another reconciliation bill, so it's really not an option."

"McConnell is an angry man," Trump said. "You know, he got thrown out of his position [as Senate GOP leader]. He's an angry guy. You know, he should be very thankful to me because if I didn't win, he wouldn't have gotten to a point ... I appointed the judges. He didn't.

"He gets credit for appointing judges. He didn't appoint anybody. I did. You know how I did? I won the election and then I picked judges, and the judges ended up getting approved and they said, oh, didn't he do a good job?

"He didn't do a good job. What the hell did he do? I won the election."

Trump said McConnell has been disloyal to Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., who succeeded McConnell as the upper chamber's GOP leader.

"He's an angry man who's very disloyal to John Thune," Trump said. "John Thune is a good man. He was a loyal worker for Mitch McConnell. He worked very hard. He was very loyal to him.

"I disagree with him a lot because Mitch McConnell gave so much money to Democrats. He gave them money. I had to go get the [border] wall money from the military [in Trump's first term]. I just took it out of the military because that guy wouldn't do anything.

"No, Mitch McConnell's a bad guy. And I thought he was lousy at his job. But the only thing they gave him a lot of credit was for judges.

"But I'm the one that got the judges. You know why? I won the election. If I didn't win the election, he wouldn't have had any judges."

Trump was then asked about when the White House will send the supplemental request to Congress. The Pentagon initially sought $200 billion to replenish expended munitions and maintain military readiness, but the administration is reportedly expected to seek between $80 billion and $100 billion.

But Trump brushed off that request and lashed out at Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, who, along with Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Rand Paul, R-Ky., voted last month with Democrats to advance a resolution seeking to bar U.S. military action against Iran without congressional authorization.

"But you have him. You have Murkowski," Trump said. "I've done so much for Murkowski. And Murkowski is terrible. Terrible to us, terrible to the country. I almost feel guilty.

"I [have] probably done more for Alaska than any other state, not because of her, because it's the right thing to do. She's just an impediment. But she's there. She probably will be a negative vote."

Newsmax has contacted McConnell and Murkowski for comment.
