And what's worse is that he while was promoting McCarthy he talks about how McConnell was so nice and then betrayed him after getting endorsed. It's like Trump learned nothing from what happened.
Why is he so naive about McCarthy? I can't understand why Trump would support a guy who is such an obvious snake.
Oops, I forgot that the McCarthy part is around 11 minutes in if you want to skip.
It’s takes like this that has me turning away from Trump’s interviews and rallies. But hey, thanks for the COVID vaccine you take credit for, Trump!
The enemy he knows...
I don’t care Trump supports McCarthy.
I don’t. And never will.
A good strategy is completely concealed.
All you can ever see are the tactics.
There is a reason for Trumps chess moves.
Trump is not naive and after the last 6 years I’d say he’s the most knowlegable pro out there.
He’s still standing.
Understand that GOP Trump supporting House Members got the goods on Pelosi, her emails, etc.
But guess what?
They needed to first get McCarthy’s permission to retrieve those.
Starting to make sense?
There’s more. The emails and docs that have so far been retrieved provide President Trump with very valuable evidence to defend himself when DOJ tries to nail him for inciting a riot, seditious conspiracy, etc.
Let’s not blame Trump for doing what’s necessary to preserve the MAGA Movement.
Yes, people lied to him, but now they are exposed. This is the long game.
I love how Trump says “we’ll fight back” as if he has any power to wield. He just knows McCarthy will be Speaker so Trump makes it seem like it’s his idea. Such a clown.
I think Trump is playing the long/safe game.
He met with McCarthy quite awhile ago and I’ll bet Trump made a deal with him for support. You have my back I’ll have yours.
Its VERY likely that McCarthy will be speaker.
If Trump backed someone else, Trump would have McConnell AND McCarthy against him when Trump returns to office.
I think this is a strategic position for Trump. He has no choice, might as well get the most you can out of it.
Same spiel he gave for supporting Ronna Romney over the years.
Trump wants McCarthy because it is a quid pro quo agreement. He supports McCarthy and all of his problems go away. That’s the only thing I can think of.
In D.C. only options are select the best snake in the lot so you can deal with it.
