Trump Shares Post Showing Him With Speaker’s Gavel

Mediate reports:

Former President Donald Trump shared a number of social media posts pitching him to be speaker of the House on Wednesday following Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) ouster, including an article which called McCarthy a “TRAITOR.”

In one Truth Social post, Trump shared an edited photo of himself holding the speaker’s gavel. Hours later, Trump shared two posts from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) endorsing him to be speaker, as well as a clip of former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon expressing support for the idea.

Trump also promoted an article written by former Libertarian Party vice presidential nominee Wayne Root, which expressed support for a Trump speakership and attacked McCarthy as a “TRAITOR.”

UPDATE: Trump has now promoted two additional articles pitching him as the next speaker, including one from Wayne Root in the Gateway Pundit that repeatedly savages McCarthy and calls
him a “traitor.” pic.twitter.com/56gp0lFzLK

Let me end this right now. If my vote mattered, I would vote for another Republican for speaker (and risk my political career) before I ever allowed Donald Trump to hold the speakers gavel. THE END! This shit is done. https://t.co/5zVUq0kJ4O
