Trump didn’t “endorse” Johnson. I believe he felt forced to kind of protect Johnson only because he did not want another ugly Speaker battle before the election.

I have no problem with criticism of a person if it is constructive and serves to make a candidate better. Even Trump. He is the candidate so you need to get used to it unless you love Biden so much that you wish to help him win because you feel petty and angry.

In this case, I would have flamed Johnson for his blatant betrayal and told Greene privately to not try get rid of Johnson until after the election because the damage is already done.

All this hogwash and DeSantis can do no wrong severe conservative claptrap is no different than what you accuse Trump supporters of. Clean up your own act before you accuse others of what you do.

‘I Stand With The Speaker’: Trump Throws Mike Johnson A Lifeline

Sounds like an endorsement to me. I don’t know what else he could possibly do, other than use the actual word “endorse?”

And no one is saying that DeSantis is perfect, he is just another politician at the end of the day. But on most issues, he seems to be right. More importantly, he gets things actually done, rather than just talk or tweet about them all day and all night.

I see it this way, Trump has to dance on the head of a pin because he is running for Potus in a party that is filled with fair weather friends and outright enemies. We can say the truth without consequence. Johnson is a traitor and a dirty coward. We can only hope Trump sees this but is playing the long game.

Included in the [Ukraine] bill was roughly $4 billion for “migration and refugee assistance,” which is doled out to NGOs operating along the border and tasked with giving funds and travel assistance to illegal immigrants who have been released from federal custody. In other words, Johnson isn’t just neglecting the border crisis, he’s actively funding it.

Then Trump comes out and endorses Johnson.

With candidates like this, we may as well leave Biden in office. At least the end will come quicker.
