Before the Speaker vote, Donald Trump on Monday praised Mike Johnson and gave him praise. Calling Mike Johnson a great, hard-working and religious man, Donald Trump said he will do the right item. ” Mike has my complete and total endorsement”, Donald Trump said. ” We are the Party of COMMON SENSE, a main cause that we WON, in a flood, the beautiful and historic National Poll of 2024. ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, 312 ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES, AND THE Common VOTE BY MILLIONS OF VOTERS ( Despite massive size voting fraud taking place in many states, including California, where seats are very still being counted, or under assessment! ), ALL WON WITH EASE, CALM, &, PROFESSIONALISM. Republicans are being praised for having run a” legendary” campaign”! Donald Trump stated in a Truth Social post.
The obscene endorsement came as the MAGA expressed disagreement with Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Republicans called for a DOGE Speaker.
” Democrats are being excoriated for their effort, having wasted 2.5 Billion Dollars, much of it unaccounted for, with some being used to illegally buy endorsements ($ 11, 000, 000 to Beyoncé, who never even sang a song,$ 2, 000, 000 to Oprah for doing next to nothing, and even$ 500, 000 to Reverend AL, a professional con man and instigator, who agreed to” interview” their” star spangled” candidates, Kamala and Joe ). We ran a flawless campaign, having spent FAR LESS, with lots of money left over. They ran a very expensive” sinking ship, “embracing DOJ &, FBI WEAPONIZATION against their political opponent, ME. BUT ITDIDN’T WORK, IT WAS A DISASTER!!! LET’SDON’T BLOW THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY, WHICH WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN. The last Administration’s destructive policies must be immediately removed from the American people. Speaker Mike Johnson is a good, hard working, religious man. We will continue to win if he makes the right decision. Mike has my Complete &, Total Endorsement. MAGA!!”! Trump said.

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy recently criticized by Donald Trump for agreeing to the debt ceiling while the Biden administration was in charge.
