Trump, who after Tuesday’s failed vote was initially guarded in reiterating his endorsement, took to Truth Social later in the day to say he’s behind McCarthy all the way.
Trump Breaks Silence on McCarthy as Contender for House Speaker After Failed Votes https://link.theepochtimes.com/mkt_app/trump-breaks-silence-on-mccarthy-as-contender-for-house-speaker-after-failed-vote_4960995.html
Maybe he wants Jordan to stay the head of the judiciary committee because we don't want a rino to bury the investigation???
Echos my thoughts
Or he’s playing 5D chess. He comes out in support of McCarthy, which means the democrats all have to oppose the RINO, both for optics (can’t be seen voting for Trump’s speaker choice) and out of fear he is actually team Patriot (secret white hat or turned black hat). This means they will end up gridlocking the vote and ensuring McCarthy doesn’t end up speaker.
On the other hand, if Trump supports someone like Jordan (who he actually wants), that would allow some “moderate democrats” to vote for the republican who they know is a republican in name only (RINO).
This is classic game theory, where you are actually more likely to get what you want by publicly announcing you want the opposite, forcing your opposition to try to oppose you, but in doing so they do your work for you.
That's actually a good point.
Jordan for VP .
Trump never misses an opportunity to praise Jim Jordan. Whatever is going on, it’s not a loyalty play in my opinion. This is just part of the script.
Very good theory here: https://rumble.com/v23g22u-defected-ep-8-sun-900-pm-et-.html
Basically saying, as the corruption continues to be exposed, the House and Senate leadership will take the blame.
So President Trump believes it is best to keep RINOs and Democrats for now so that MAGA and America-First reps don't take the blame.
McCarthy is a garbage tier Speaker candidate. Sorry Trump but he's already stabbed us in the back. You can't expect our guys to support someone who actively opposes our interests. It makes no sense.
We need Jordon for more important tasks.
Seems like President Trump and Jordan are both standing behind McCarthy.
Trump comes out to bats for McSharty, this may stop any dem from crossing the party line.
Remember, Elon Musk was also a cabal controlled puppet at one time. There's a strategy to everything.
no "loyalty" for Jordan....isn't accurate. Jordan says he doesn't want to be Speaker.
