President Trump on Saturday anointed Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader, as “the greatest leader in history,” an exchange that underscored how an often contentious dynamic has been smoothed by Republicans’ success in seating Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh and a host of other conservative judges on the nation’s courts.
The praise, offered during a boisterous rally in the state Mr. McConnell represents, was delivered with Trumpian flair. The president lauded Mr. McConnell as a “rock-ribbed Kentucky leader” and “a tough cookie” before a self-indulgent addendum.
