Former President Donald Trump offered words of praise for House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., saying he is "trying very hard" and is "a very good person."

His comments came Monday evening during an interview with Real America's Voice radio host John Fredericks.

"Look, we have a majority of one [in the House]," Trump said. "It's not like he can go and do whatever he wants. I think he's a very good person. I think he's a very good man. I think he's trying very hard. And, again, we have to have a very big election" to increase the Republican majority in the House.

"We have to elect some good senators, get rid of some of the ones we have right now like [Mitt] Romney and others. We have to have a big day and win the presidency."

Is Trump really saying that he likes Mike Johnson, or is Trump saying now is not the time for another bruising speakership battle?

Is Trump thinking longer term, especially getting past the November election, hopefully with good results , as opposed to reacting in the moment to disappointment we all have in Mike Johnson right now?

Doesn’t seem odd to me. I’ve been saying the same thing for months.

Mike Johnson isn’t the problem here. He’s not serving in an executive capacity where he can call his own shots. He’s the leader of a legislative body, and right now the solid conservative base in the House is dwarfed by the establishment dopes who have spent their careers passing foreign/corporate welfare bills.

The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate has operated just under the surface since the early 1900s.

They are out in the open now.

The media won’t attack them, but their crimes are visible for all to see.

We just have to see how long Americans are willing to put up with these criminals.

I guess people think all these rising taxes and rising prices are really doing some good for them.

Rich Democrats taking your money so they can have five yachts instead of four while you wonder why you can’t buy hamburger for your family.

Seems OK to me.

“Nothin odd about it. Glad he’s speaking up...Hoping he would. Jonson is a good man and did exactly right by having separate votes. You can’t just do nothing.
Let’s move on please.

Go after Biden on the border...not Johnson and the House. HR2 is on Schumer’s desk..”

EXACTLY CORRECT!

To the Mike Johnson “lynch mob”, STAND DOWN!

Your leader has spoken!

Now STFU and STFD.

“So you would just let Israel linger??”

I couldn’t care less about Israel (or Ukraine). All I care about is the United States.

None of that will matter if Repukes lose the House. It won’t matter anyway, because Repukes have been a disappointment for years, despite having majorities in the House. Same thing with the Senate. Repukes run from power.

“don’t vacate NOW. Not just before the election.”

I agree. After the election we can debate this.

He hasn’t learned a damned thing! Johnson is worse than Ryan. Is Trump getting addlebrained? Doesn’t he remember how Ryan and McConnell destroyed his first term. The pubbies should win both houses in ‘24, just like in ‘16. Just like in ‘16 nothing but the garbage CoC/Ryan tax legislation got passed. Everything else DJT did was via EO. ALL of those EO “accomplishments” were EO’d to smithereens the first week of Biden’s EOs. What an incredibly stupid replay of the his first term mistakes.

Seems odd....
Being sold out once again seems odd. Make Americans last again. The Uniparty is actually going to substantially increase the invasion level into this country.

Ukraine Bill Funds More Migration to U.S.
https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/04/22/ukraine-bill-funds-more-migration-to-u-s/

The House Saturday failed to pass the border security bill.
The border bill, turned down on a 215-199 vote, was brought to the floor under a fast-track procedure known as suspension of the rules that requires a two-thirds majority for passage. Tells you every thing you need to know about the border, Mayorkas, and Kabuki theater.

Next, their bringing back earmarks. These people are spitting in our faces now.

Pretty clear. President Trump is good at geopolitics. He doesn’t want to fight a war in Europe with Nato against Russia.

I would tend to agree but maybe we need to still keep the thin majority to hinder any “lame duck” session antics that Brandon can sign into law before Trump returns?

_________________________________________

Israel isn’t going anywhere. They’re capacity to kick the @zz of everyone around them isn’t diminished just because they get a handout from the US within the next few months. On the other hand, flooding the country with illegal labor, recipients of public services, potential criminals/terrorists, and eventual Democrat voters should be issue #1...by a long shot.
