Of course all the Trump supporting Republicans here at USMB (and in Congress) who backed McCarthy, as well as all those who back Gaetz, refuse to recognize that their moronic hero Trump himself is the person most responsible for the chaotic nihilism and grifting showmanship that divides our nation and the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
Trump was the one who supported McCarthy and helped him in his wheeling & dealing to become Speaker of the House, and yet he also led the effort to shut down the government — which McCarthy intelligently prevented at the last moment.
The attacks on the Trump-supporting McCarthy from the “Trump-supporting” Gaetz finally elicited a typical “I am not to blame and I don’t accept any responsibility” Trump pronouncement criticizing the “disfunction” of his Republican supporters in Congress!
But not to worry, MAGA Republicans!
Both Gaetz & McCarthy have had serious discussions with Trump leading up to this nihilist charade, both sides have rendered homage to the Orange baboon, and as Trump points out he likes both men as they have “said nice things” about him!
