“Trump had signaled to aides last week that he did not support Emmer’s bid for the speakership. The former president complained that Emmer had criticized him following the Trump-inspired Jan. 6 Capitol riot and, among other things, had not forcefully enough defended him against his multiple indictments.”

Yet wasn’t there a fake headline that Trunp endorsed Emmer as speaker?

There was. Simply because Trump took Emmer’s call. PDJT nipped that in the bud! He’s still got the power. 😄

>>He’s still got the power.

Not the power to get his own pick elected though I guess:

Maybe this is going to be a circus for a while and then they’ll put McCarthy back there?

What “normal” human being would take a call from one of these 3 clowns?: Steve Bannon, Boris Epshteyn and Roger Stone

If true, why then did his endorsement of Jordan not carry enough weight ?

"‘I killed him': How Trump torpedoed Tom Emmer’s speaker bid"

The enemies of the Republic will now indict Trump for confessing to murder.

(Nevermind that Emmer's alive and well. That's beside the point.)

It also prevented an open door into the White House for Soros.

Steve Bannon is not a clown.

Tough talk, but it’s easier to torpedo a candidate than to find an electable one who is not to the left of McCarthy.

The headline is intended to make you think “there he goes again, a braggart taking credit for knocking out a candidate”. Well taking out that rino cuck makes Trump s hero.
