Trump Gives Mike Johnson His "Complete and Total Endorsement" to Remain Speaker

I guess it's the expected action.

President-elect Donald Trump on Monday reaffirmed his support for Speaker Mike Johnson to continue leading the House of Representatives, framing Johnson as a pivotal figure in addressing the challenges inherited from the Biden administration. In his post on Truth Social, Trump underscored the Republican Party's resounding 2024 victory, stating, "We are the Party of COMMON SENSE, a primary reason that we WON, in a landslide, the magnificent and historic Presidential Election of 2024."

The president-elect contrasted the GOP's disciplined campaign with what he labeled the Democrats' financial wastefulness and questionable tactics. "Democrats are being excoriated for their effort, having wasted 2.5 Billion Dollars, much of it unaccounted for," he said, alleging endorsements were improperly purchased from celebrities like Beyoncé and Oprah Winfrey.

Trump's endorsement of Johnson carried significant weight, with the president-elect declaring, "Speaker Mike Johnson is a good, hard-working, religious man. He will do the right thing, and we will continue to WIN. Mike has my Complete & Total Endorsement." By urging Republicans to seize the moment, Trump conveyed urgency, warning, "LETS NOT BLOW THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY WHICH WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN."

The "heroes" of the Freedom Caucus are getting on my last nerve -- their refusal to vote for Mike Johnson as Speaker (even though they have not put forward any candidate who could get 218 votes) means that Trump and Vance will not be able to take the offices of president and vice president.

That'll show the left, huh? The insurrection will come right from the allegedly "conservative" Freedom Caucus.

But there are only two weeks between January 6 and January 20. If the House can't find a Speaker in time to get the election certified, President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance cannot take office even though President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will leave their posts.

With a non-functioning House, Trump, Vance and the House Speaker are out of the chain-of-command, which puts the Senate pro tempore in as acting president. On January 20, 2025, that will be Republican Senator Chuck Grassley.

I'm getting very tired of these narcissists grandstanding every five minutes so we can all admire their Purity.

Note to the "heroes" of the Freedom Caucus: If you block Trump from being sworn in as President on January 20th at precisely 12 o'clock noon sharp, we are coming for you.
