Report: Donald Trump Not Expected to Support Steve Scalise in Speakership Race
Breitbart ^ | 10/12/2023 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Former President Donald Trump is reportedly not expected to support House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) in the speakership race against House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH).

Trump, whose 2024 campaign Scalise did not endorse, is unlikely to help Scalise whip the votes to become speaker because “loyalty is a two-way street,” three sources close to the president told the Messenger on Wednesday.

One person “familiar with the former president’s thinking” explained it this way:

“Trump personally likes Steve. There’s no real animosity,” said one of the sources. “But the fact is, loyalty is a two-way street and Steve had a chance to support the president but he didn’t.”

“So if Trump has to work for it in Steve’s eyes, Steve is going to have to work for it in Trump’s eyes,” the source added.

Trump didn’t say a damned thing. This “news” story came from “sources”.

Make him President and you have a point. He’s not the executive branch right now. He’s not in government.

It wasn’t one close call. It is multiple myeloma, that is how it goes, they are able to put the patient into remission that lasts six months to a year before they have to try something else. Each time they achieve a remission, the period is shorter and the treatment more difficult. I actually do know someone who recovered, but hers was only myeloma, not multiple myeloma.
