Donald Trump has angry meltdown about Speaker Mike Johnson
Donald Trump is asleep at the wheel in every sense of the phrase. He sat there watching TV while his idiot sidekicks made such stupid cabinet nominations that it turned the Republican Senate against him. He again sat there watching TV while his other idiot sidekick made a mess of the budget process and turned the Republican House against him. Now Trump, or whoever is posting on his behalf, is attempting to scapegoat Speaker Mike Johnson.
Trump’s post began like this: “The extension of the Debt Ceiling by a previous Speaker of the House, a good man and a friend of mine, from this past September of the Biden Administration, to June of the Trump Administration, will go down as one of the dumbest political decisions made in years.”
It’s notable that Trump is referring to Johnson as the “previous” Speaker of the House, which suggests that Trump no longer wants Johnson to be Speaker in the new term. But again, with Trump so deep into senility and so far removed from public view and reality, these things could be getting posted to social media by anyone in Trump’s circle.
The big story of the incoming Trump regime continues to be that Trump himself doesn’t appear to be a part of his own regime. It appears that all of his major decisions are being made by various underlings who are battling each other for power in his cognitive absence. And now it looks like someone around Trump is trying to get rid of Mike Johnson. Fine. So be it. House Republicans were barely able to elect Johnson, and will have an even harder time electing anyone else as Speaker.
