Miami, Florida — Former President Donald Trump told the conservatives currently withholding support from House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy in McCarthy’s speakership bid to stand down in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News here on Friday.
“I like him,” Trump said of McCarthy, before teeing off on those working against him such as Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Matt Rosendale (R-MT), Bob Good (R-VA), and Ralph Norman (R-SC). While Trump did not name those trying to stop McCarthy from taking the Speaker’s gavel on January 3, he in no uncertain terms said he disagrees with their efforts—

Probably Trump's biggest weak point is trusting people who shouldn't be trusted.

I dunno, Mr. President. I'm ready for some new faces in the House. As House minority leader the past two years, McCarthy was nearly invisible. He avoids cameras the same way Turtle does in the Senate.
It's pretty hard to set the narrative on behalf of a full House and KEEP the narrative out there without face time especially with a lefty msm constantly parroting the dim talking points. If he can get out there, right here and now to be seen, and make it abundantly clear today, tomorrow, and all the way to January 3rd that he is to be Speaker of the House and why, then maybe.

No. Trump endorsed McConnell, and now we are getting an omnibus spending bill to neuter the newly elected Republican House. McCarthy expelled and condemned Republicans for something they said, and threw them off committees. McCarthy condemned Trump for J6, but said nothing about Pelosi. No. I am not taking any personnel advice from DJT, who appointed Christopher Wray to the FBI, and Barr to DOJ. No. Andy Biggs will be a great Speaker.

It's Washington. RINOs or Democrats? Pick your poison. Fairly sure Trump realizes this and has no idea how to change it. Doubt there is anyone else either that can fix it either. It's up to the voter which is doubtful especially after watching the midterms. Vote them out. We will either succeed, or the government will drop all semblance of a representative government and become a full-blown dictatorship.

Maybe he’s brain damaged from those vaccines he’s so proud of.

So if McCarthy survives because of Trump's support, who owns whom?

Well...... if Saint Trump has decided that McCarthy deserves to be speaker, then all is forgiven. All that frothing at the mouth over RINO McCarthy was all for nothing. After all, it's Saint Trump or I'm not voting......... LOL

Why all these unforced errors, Mr. President? Do you have a subtle strategic purpose of which the rest of us are not yet aware?

I think for myself, and I hope those told to stand down do as well. Politicians should listen to their voters and supporters. I listen to Rona drop the Trump name to justify all the money she's spent on partying down, and the Trump team co-signed. It's a distraction.

Trump has this tendency to poorly evaluate people and bestow misguided trust on them. Jeff Sessions, Pence, Chris Wray (recommended Trump for FBI director position by Chris Christie), Omarosa, Kanye, etc., etc.

This is a fight Trump should have stayed out of. He is going to get "Mitched" with this decision.

Another glaring, flashing, can't-miss sign that Trump learned NOTHING where choosing DC allies is concerned.
Right when we need him the most, he seems determined to shoot himself in the foot. Repeatedly.

DJT never was a conservative; he was a pragmatist. Now he's confirming that by backing McCarthy against conservatives.
This, on top of his "major announcement" that turned out to be a pitch to sell NFT's, indicates it's time for him to get out of politics, retire to Florida, and play pickleball with the other geezers.

Since republicans are split in their choice---the Dems can mess up the choice and vote in a Dem.
President Trump makes sense. Stick togather. Vote for McCarthy. No other Republican can win clearly because of the split. Dems will win. So many of you people who do not think things through will harm our goal.
