I don’t know what is going on. McCarthy has stabbed him in the back so he knows McCarthy is a snake in the grass, so if he has some kind of valid rationale for saying nice things about him, it is quite opaque to me.

It is probably important to note that the people likely didn’t boo Trump, but probably booed his words in praising McCarthy.

I believe that is a distinction.

Flimsey Grahamnesty played a pivotal role in keeping the Trump/Russia collusion delusion going and yet Trump endorsed him for 2020.
Same with McConnell.
And Tillis and Cornyn.

And now they are all pushing for amnesty, which is the opposite of MAGA.

McCarthy is a snake in the grass

*************

Trump seems to be ignoring his own parable about the dangers of the snake.

I want Trump to endorse people with convictions, principles and a track record of following them.

I have zero respect for McCarthy.

A good leader needs -- and usually expects -- feeback from his base, be it positive or negative.

Trump surely knows his ability to effectively assess those he must trust is a weakness ... and his enemies, including this California snake-in-the-grass, damn well know it and exploit it.

“McCarthy has stabbed him in the back . . .”

While president he endorsed John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, and Mitch McConnell after being backstabbed by them as well.
