McCaskill claimed that all Trump wants "is to look in the mirror and see a guy who’s president. All he cares about is selfish self-promotion."

McCaskill, who served as a Missouri senator up until 2019, has frequently criticized Trump and the Republican Party on social media, writing in one Oct. 12 post, "The self centered ego of Trump has infected the entire Republican Party.

They can’t."
