Why does Trump do things like this?

It was enough to just say “I endorse Kevin McCarthy for another term’. He didn’t have to go so over the top by calling McCarthy “Outstanding”.

Trump hurts the MAGA cause when he praises those milksop Republicans who openly fight against conservatives.

In KMs district, is there a reasonable alternative?

What will really count is who will Trump endorse for Speaker. Perhaps himself?

“Kevin McCarthy has my Complete and Total Endorsement for California's 20th Congressional District!” he concluded.

Since no pubbie of any standing is running against karen mccarthy, this is just another notch in Trump's "endorsement gun".

Sometimes Trump embarrasses himself with these lame "endorsements".

Yes, it's Trump's need to tout the success of his endorsements. If McCarthy doesn't have a viable challenger, and the Dem machine wants him back to cooperate with, he is likely to win the primary.

It was enough to just say “I endorse Kevin McCarthy for another term’. He didn’t have to go so over the top by calling McCarthy “Outstanding”

I believe that Trump himself called in "outrageous hyperbole" in the Art Of The Deal. McCarthy has been far from "outstanding", and there was no reason to write that, since it's plainly false.

Trump hurts the MAGA cause when he praises those milksop Republicans who openly fight against conservatives.

He certainly confuses his base. I would much prefer that Trump state, "I endorse McCarthy because he's the least bad California Republican in that Congressional district". I prefer blunt honesty to B.S., but that's just me...

I second that motion.

Another speaker from CA (a RINO at that) is just wrong. I will not support it for that reason alone.

“Underwhelming” is the most charitable accolade that could be applied to McCarthy.

**I would much prefer that Trump state, “I endorse McCarthy because he’s the least bad California Republican in that Congressional district”.**

That is a perfect response and so like 2015 Trump. It would send the message that yeah, you got my endorsement but don’t mess it up. I’m afraid many of these questionable endorsements will do exactly that. Hope I’m wrong.

The Prez knows things we do not know. Cut him some slack. He knows what he is doing. IMHO

This endorsement of McCarthy truly shows that President Trump will have more RINOS around him this next administration. Remember last Trump Administration? How many back stabbers did he have to fire?

“McCarthy seemed to be ‘McCarthy first’ but now with his being endorsed by DJT, I’ll have to look at it again”

I think we should just say that Trump needs McCarthy for the Jan 6 kangaroo court.

The republican party is a rino party. It is of and for rinos. The decision for MAGA to work within the republican party necessitates working with rinos. I’d like to see another way. We need a real opposition party, a pro-American party that will take the republican party’s place. But apparently the system is rigged and it looks like this is the best that we can hope for politically. All of you who blame Trump for the sorry state that Washington need a reality check.

Its Desantis time now . <<<

lol..do you think DeSantis would “own” McCarthy like Trump would ...

Trump is probably the only person that could dismantle the Deep State and the swamp.....mainly because he isnt a "politician"..

without that happening your “vote” wont be worth the paper it will be forged on...

From a couple of stories I have read President Trump may have had a heart to heart talk with Kevin. I am keeping an open mind on this.

“Trump needs McCarthy for the Jan 6 kangaroo court.”

It’s a damned shame that Trump needs anyone or anything for such a fiasco as this. The RINO Kinzinger stands alongside the rest of the myth-perpetuators like the child that he is, Liz Cheney may be stupid enough to believe that Biden actually received all the votes that were ‘found’ to have been cast for him, SNL won’t be able to parody or satirize it because it’s already a parody of itself,...

Come on, man!...Baggage is "baggage" when it's really baggage. What appears to be baggage that would come with Trump is not that kind of "baggage" at all, it's media and Democrat assigned baggage, which in Trump's case is only fake baggage.
