While I like Trump and voted for him, it's moves like this as well promoting the jabs and willfully ignoring the carnage they've caused that makes me wave my hands in disgust. McCarthy is DC swamp scum.

Of course, the Devolution crowd will see this as another brilliant 3-D chess move by Trump - they always look beyond his actions to his hidden motives. Enough! He may be a shrewd businessman but he's no Russian Chess Master and his ego often seems to get in the way of rational decisions. If he felt that McCarthy was the only viable option, why not stand with the 6 dissenting voices and demand public concessions from McCarthy rather than just giving him a blanket endorsement?

I can draw only a few conclusions. Trump is either senile, incomprehensibly stupid, or part of the WEF swamp. Another distraction while CBDC and global passports are rolled out and the vax murdered are quietly buried?

Please know that I enjoy your stuff and respect your knowledge, PM. I really do! But IMO, you have very likely fallen into the same trap that many in the MAGA movement (or "patriot" movement, if you prefer) have w/ Trump and his "announcements." Let me translate what you just said into what, IMO, you should say / have said -- "I have to admit that I don't like nor do I really understand what Trump is doing or what he is talking about here. It bothers me, a LOT! I hope this is simply a part of his chess game and that he has very good reasons for choosing RINO McCarthy (whom NO true patriot or pro-MAGA/SaveAmerica American likes) over someone else."

That would be honest, and I think you want to be honest. But to be honest, you'd have to admit that you don't understand everything going on. Can you do that and avoid making pronouncements as if you do know everything? Once you make statements like the above in this article, it's hard to take them back because of ego/pride, and in the meantime you are very likely influencing many of those that follow you.

If you are wrong, not only would you need to publicly eat crow, but you'd have to UN-influence those you have led astray. But you wouldn't be able to by then, for various reasons. If you're NOT wrong, then what the hell ... we're in big, big trouble, and the best you'll be able to say is, "Told you so!" But then you'd have had to already come up with your own plans to save this country and the power and influence and money and connections to pull it off. Can you? If not, "told you so" would only be an ego-stroker, and not beneficial.

And what would you prefer -- a wolf, or a sheep in wolf's clothing? A known evil Demonrat opponent like Pelousy or an absolutely disingenuous, disgustingly traitorous, self-important, swamp creature RINO like Ryan? I'd take the first any day. She's an absolutely obvious and visible evil. Ryan wasn't to many. And obviously Trump has NO influence over who would have been or might be in the future the Demonrat Speaker, does he.

Good piece. I would point out that Trump did raise 5 million in under 24 hours with the NFT. And because people who parted with their $99 received something of ‘value’ he nicely skirts some otherwise knarly campaign finance laws. I agree he missed the mark by placing this in front of the policy speech. But as a fundraising ploy, it was absolutely brilliant.

Following the news cycle (shortly after you wrote this piece), I think we can deduce Trump’s rationale for this decision. The kangaroo court J6 commission recommended that Trump along with other Republican leaders (including McCarthy) be prosecuted by the DOJ. Recall the words of Ben Franklin “We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we will all hang separately.” I think this was pure pragmatism on Trump’s part to protect himself by getting closer to McCarthy who will be beholding to Trump if he assumes the role of SOTH.

Prove you wrong? Not at all. I've been hoping as time progresses you'd see what I've been insinuating for years now - Trump has always been a CIA asset whose sole purpose was to infiltrate the last bastion of true American patriotism and compromise it. He did just that. His loyalties have never been to the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, far from it - he, like all his predecessors since JFK, have done the bidding of the Company, nothing more. JFK paid with his life for threatening to scatter the CIA to the four winds and firing CIA Director, Dulles. He was the LAST American President. The rest are all "Company" men working for Corporate Fascism.
