Bannon spoke the quiet part out loud today
WHY NOT TRUMP?
He said let's get Trump in as Speaker. Think maybe that was the plan all along? It's what Killary and Co. feared the most. Maybe Trump supported McCarthy knowing he didn't have the votes to be speaker and took advantage of the optics. Would Trump have the votes? If not, he'd sure see who was truly against him in 2024. Imagine if Trump was Speaker and quarterbacked his core MAGA to investigate Biden and Kamala. Enough would be uncovered rather quickly that they would have to step aside and Trump steps into the WH as third in line to Presidency.
All this might sound far fetched but after the last 2 years, nothing would surprise me.
If that were so why would Trump attempt to castigate Boebert for refusing Mcarthy?
I hope Trump is several moves ahead but he seems to be simply making more horrible personnel choices, as he has history of doing.
I still think Jan 6 caught him off guard and he got lucky that it didn’t sink him.
Not sure how it could have caught Trump off guard. It was planned well in advance and both sides made preparation for it. We even saw some kind of military op exploit the chaos to steal laptops.
If you watch his speech from that day, he looked off and he looked worried. The “attack” had already started and he just looked like he was unsure. Maybe it was an act, but I’ve never seen him so uneasy. Watch the speech. Maybe I’m wrong, but he seemed off.
