BREAKING: Donald Trump announces his decision about seeking the Speakership now that Kevin McCarthy is out — and floats an even worse name than his own.
Speaking to reporters outside the Manhattan courthouse where his massive fraud trial is unfolding, Trump observed that a "lot of people" want him as Speaker.
"All I can say is we’ll do whatever is best for the country and for the Republican Party," said Trump, who has never once in his life done what's best for America.
When asked directly about Republicans who want him to become Speaker, Trump made it clear that he is much more focused on his presidential campaign.
"My focus is totally on that," he said. "If I can help them during the process, I’ll do it. But we have some great people in the Republican Party that could do a great job as Speaker."
While he stopped short of saying that there is zero chance he'll do it, Trump made it clear that he has very little interest.
And why would he? The Speakership is a real job with complicated responsibilities. He has no clue how to do it and unlike the presidency he can't just pretend to work and delegate things to his minions. He'd have to under procedures that are way over his head.
Instead, he voiced support for the worst name possible for the job: Marjorie Taylor Greene.
"I think she’s a wonderful woman," Trump said. "I’ll do whatever it is to help, but my focus, my total focus is being president and, quite honestly, making America great again."
The grim truth for the Republican Party is that they have NO good options left for Speaker. There are no responsible adults left in the party. Whoever they pick will be a disaster.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think we need a Democrat as Speaker — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because it banned Trump for life and because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
This week, a new portrait of Daniel Barenboim was unveiled in the hall of Berlin’s House of Representatives. The portrait was commissioned after Barenboim was named a Berlin Citizen of Honor last April by Mayor Franziska Giffey.
Have you heard?! 📣 We just announced a partnership with @UNMLOBOS that brings Lobo fanfare to the terminal and a bit of Sunport flare to Lobos games. As two staples in the community, this partnership is a perfect example of what it means to be #OneAlbuquerque. ❤️ #GoLobos
A Thank You to you, whoever you are. A year ago today I briefly flirted with "quietus" and this elicited a wave of goodwill and warmth towards me. I will forever feel unworthy of it. I will also always be appreciative and look to pass it on. Thank you. No reply necessary.
Back to work on Better Call Saul! So happy to be here and living this specific life surrounded by such good people. BTW this is makeup pro Cheri Montesanto making me not ugly for shooting!
We are slowly indoctrinating every cast member of Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul into the Black & Yellow familia. @BryanCranston are up next?🖤💛

Just had a walk with my pal Michael Mando. I keep getting good energy, hugs, love, from everyone, strangers, old friends...and then there's the field of dreams game. I can't take all this goodness at once, but I guess I'll have to. Hope you are having a great day today.
Finally dug into Better Call Saul. The scenes with @MJMcKean in the final episode of season 3 are some of the most sensational TV I’ve ever watched. I’m at the point now where I’m starting to get bummed about running out of episodes. @mrbobodenkirk
