 Trump endorses Mike Johnson for House speaker, slams Dems in scathing remark: ‘IT WAS A DISASTER!!!”

President-elect Donald Trump endorsed Mike Johnson for House speaker on Monday following a fight over government funding earlier this month that divided Republicans and imperiled his leadership bid.

Trump, 78, butted heads with Johnson over the speaker’s decision to not suspend the nation’s debt ceiling — but still threw his weight behind the Louisiana Republican to win back the gavel in January.

“Speaker Mike Johnson is a good, hard working, religious man,” the incoming president posted on Truth Social. “He will do the right thing, and we will continue to WIN. Mike has my Complete & Total Endorsement. MAGA!!!”

   The Freedom Caucus stands in the way of the self-proclaimed 'King of Debt' spending US into oblivion.

2003: Debt ceiling raised by $984 billion.
2004: Debt ceiling raised by $800 billion.
2006: Debt ceiling raised by $781 billion.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

We are the Party of COMMON SENSE, a primary reason that we WON, in a landslide, the magnificent and historic Presidential Election of 2024. ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, 312 ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES, AND THE POPULAR VOTE BY MILLIONS OF VOTERS (Despite large scale voter fraud taking place in numerous states, including California, where votes are ridiculously still being counted, or under review!), ALL WON WITH EASE, CALM, & PROFESSIONALISM.

Republicans are being praised for having run a “legendary” campaign! Democrats are being excoriated for their effort, having wasted 2.5 Billion Dollars, much of it unaccounted for, with some being used to illegally buy endorsements ($11,000,000 to Beyoncé, who never even sang a song, $2,000,000 to Oprah for doing next to nothing, and even $500,000 to Reverend AL, a professional con man and instigator, who agreed to “interview” their “star spangled” candidates, Kamala and Joe).

We ran a flawless campaign, having spent FAR LESS, with lots of money left over. They ran a very expensive “sinking ship,” embracing DOJ & FBI WEAPONIZATION against their political opponent, ME. BUT IT DIDN’T WORK, IT WAS A DISASTER!!!

LETS NOT BLOW THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY WHICH WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN. The American people need IMMEDIATE relief from all of the destructive policies of the last Administration. Speaker Mike Johnson is a good, hard working, religious man. He will do the right thing, and we will continue to WIN. Mike has my Complete & Total Endorsement. MAGA!!!

Do your damn job and pass a balanced budget like you did in the 90's.

You must be stoned.  Congress passing a balanced budget will not occur again in your lifetime. 

And certainly not with Trump at the helm.  Mr Spend Us Blind.

And don't hold your breath for DOGE.  These wankers have no idea how to deal with the bureaucracy.  NONE!!!  By the start of his 3rd year, he will be so frustrated, he will spend most of his time on the course.  And the bromance with Musk and Vivek will have long ended.

As someone who spent much of his life reducing operational cost in one organization after another, I am sure all of Musk's high IQ duds will have no idea how to approach and defeat the bureaucrats.  They have no idea what they are up against.  All more empty rhetoric by Trump.
