Former President Donald Trump ‘has zero desire to be’ House Speaker, top aide Jason Miller said Tuesday.

“[Trump] has zero desire to be speaker,” Miller told Punchbowl News.

Trump was on Real America’s Voice Monday in which he further elaborated his position:

Well, I’ve heard the talk and it’s getting more and more. But it’s not something that I would’ve considered but it is certainly — there’s a lot of talk about it. I have a good relationship with Kevin [McCarthy] and hopefully we will do everything traditionally. But the election was a horrible, horrible thing for our country.

Trump is the master of disinformation. He probably put this trial balloon out there.

Taking the speaker position after the next election is his step back to president when Joe and Kamala are impeached and removed.

Trump is a poor judge of character.

“I don’t trust Kevin.”

**************

I don’t trust him — or his party.

McCarthy is a globalist. He sat on a bill as CA legislator to enforce H1-b hiring practices in CA until it expired.

Most workers ( an untapped political potential force of over 100,000,000 ) in the USA have no political affiliation and this is why....

I don’t trust Kevin either, though he’s probably a bit better than Boner and Lyin’ Ryan. (Low bar.)

I think the idea was to take over the House and Senate, make President Trump Speaker, then impeach and remove both Biden and Harris, and voila, look who’s President!

Neither do I . . .

We definitely need a more conservative MAGA leader in line to be Speaker next year.

Recently, McCarthy, after a White House meeting, flatly stated that the current occupant was basically legitimately elected Thus, no further discussion or action needed.

Then, he just defended Traitor Pence, who got booed and heckled at last week’s Faith & Freedom Conference.

Might as well keep Pelosi on the job, if that’s what we can expect from GOPe RINO Kevin McCarthy.

That is what I want, Trump gets to finish the balance of their term and run for another term as President. Meanwhile
Trump can reverse some of the damage before he wins another 4 more years.

McCarthy showed his colors when he backed Liz.
Nobody on the right trust Kevin. He is a master at Flim
Flanery.

Why on earth would President Trump want to be Speaker of The House?

Trump has shown that with him, it is ALL personal. Flatter him and he loves and admires you even if you are a deep state swamp monster. Criticize him and he will work to destroy you even if that criticism is warranted. He really is childish in some important ways. It will be fascinating to see how his legions resolve their skepticism/hostility about the “vaccine” while he touts it as one of his presidency’s great accomplishments. I love it when he refuses to be intimidated by the communists and smashes them in the face. I hate it when he is gullible to flattery.

As I have argued here repeatedly his achilles heel was his incompetence in personnel matters.

It always makes me worry when I hear that Trump has a good relationship with someone. But then I reflect a little. Consider this:

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he and President Xi Jinping “love each other”, while insisting that negotiations for a phase two trade deal will start “very shortly”.

Trump told the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that his relationship with Xi “is an extraordinary one” less than a week after the two countries agreed their phase one trade deal. “He’s for China, I’m for the US, but other than that we love each other,” Trump said in his speech, stirring laughter in the room.

Or this ...

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump acknowledged renewed hostility with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un over their denuclearization talks on Saturday, but predicted their relationship would survive anyway.

"I have a very good relationship with Kim Jong Un," Trump told reporters at the White House as he left for Hollywood, Florida, and a conference sponsored by the Israeli-American Council.

-----------------------------------------------

You have to wonder what Trump means when he says has a good relationship with McCarthy. Sounds like a kiss of death rather than a kiss of love.

Again, Trump blows it trusting an empty-suit, career politician. McCarthy isn’t much better than Paul Ryan.

And where is the GOP going to pick up a minimum of 17 Senate seats in 2022 to accomplish this? They aren’t.

Nope. He belongs in the Oval Office fighting for us.
