ill-tempered

According to journalist Michael Tackett's account in his new McConnell biography “The Price of Power,” the legendary Kentucky senator also described Trump as “stupid” and “ill-tempered.”

According to an advance story about it, McConnell said in these tapes after the 2020 election that Trump was “stupid as well as ill-tempered,” that “it’s not just the Democrats who are counting the days until Trump leaves,” that Trump’s a “despicable human being,” and much else.

Excerpts released to news outlets from “The Price of Power,” an upcoming biography of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., reveal that he privately said that former President Donald Trump was "stupid as well as being ill-tempered," a "despicable human being" and a "narcissist" after the 2020 election.

For starters, this contest has been – to put it mildly – ill-tempered.

Spurs must have relished the arrival of Arsenal's teamsheet without the names of Odegaard and Rice, but a lively start soon faded in an occasionally ill-tempered scrap, including an ugly first-half flare-up as players from both sides clashed following Jurien Timber's challenge on Pedro Porro.
