As president, Donald Trump made many terrible appointments and today he announced his choice for Speaker of the House.
He is backing mega-RINO Kevin McCarthy, who folds like a cheap road map when pressured by Democrats. Could he have picked a bigger loser? I guess he could have endorsed Nancy Pelosi.
He should really hire someone like Newt Gingrich to make his endorsements and appointments. This would allow him to work on policies which he is fantastic at.
Trump told Breitbart:
“Kevin has worked very hard. He is just — it’s been exhausting. If you think, he’s been all over. I think he deserves the shot. Hopefully, he’s going to be very strong and going to be very good and he’s going to do what everybody wants.”
Does anyone know of any over-the-counter drugs to prevent vomiting? I am desperately in need of some.

Anti-establishment conservatives do not believe, considering his history, to be the right man for the job. Do you need proof? McCarthy has been endorsed by Paul Ryan, a Never Trumper. I’m sure Mitt Romney loves him too. You can’t trust him any more than you can trust Mitch “Biden’s Biotch” McConnell.
Rep Andy Biggs said:
“It is time for new leadership of the U.S. House of Representatives.”
“The Left wants to see a McCarthy Speakership, as outgoing Majority Whip Clyburn said. Establishment Republicans want to see a continuation of the Swamp, as Paul Ryan has endorsed McCarthy for speaker. And, even phony conservative types, claim that McCarthy is the only guy for them (see radio talker Mark Levin for example, who after blasting McCarthy for years has decided that he is perfect for the job). And people wonder why the establishment is the establishment.
“We actually have the opportunity to dislodge the establishment and reinvigorate the America First movement that was founded by former President Donald Trump. Yes, that Donald Trump.”
In the first unofficial vote, McCarthy got 188 votes. That is 20 votes shy of what he needs to take possession of the gavel. The opposition needs to stay strong and eventually someone else will end up with the number of votes to win because McCarthy backers will have to reconsider if he loses the first two or three ballots.
While several GOP names have voiced their opposition to McCarthy becoming speaker — most notably Reps. Matt Gaetz of Florida, Bob Good of Virginia and Matt Rosendale of Montana — only one Republican has mounted an official challenge for the gavel: Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona.
As for those trying to take out McCarthy: “I think it’s a very dangerous game that’s being played,” the former president said, noting history could repeat itself.
In 2015, conservatives forced then-House Speaker John Boehner into retirement, ushering in the Paul Ryan era. Unfortunately, Ryan ended up being even more tepidly moderate and legislatively useless than Boehner had been, a feat in and of itself.
“It’s a very dangerous game. Some bad things could happen. Look, we had Boehner and he was a strange person but we ended up with Paul Ryan who was ten times worse. Paul Ryan was an incompetent speaker. I think he goes down as the worst speaker in history. We took [out] Boehner—and a group of people, some of whom are the same, and they’re very good friends of mine. All those people are very good friends of mine.”
“Boehner wasn’t perfect — nobody’s perfect — but Paul Ryan was a disaster for the Republican Party. That’s what we got. Now we have to live with him. He’s destroying Fox and he’s destroying the New York Post. We got to live with this maniac. This guy, Paul Ryan, couldn’t have gotten elected in his own area of Wisconsin. I went with him after I won the election and we had a tremendous crowd of people and they booed him off the stage. You remember that? They booed him off the stage. This guy is now telling Fox what to do.”
