Trump Defends Johnson Amid MAGA’s Furious Attacks

Fox News reports:

Former President Donald Trump has come to House Speaker Mike Johnson’s defense, as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., pushes for the Louisiana Republican’s ouster from the leadership position.

“Well, look, we have a majority of one, OK?” Trump told radio host John Fredericks on Monday. “It’s not like he can go and do whatever he wants to do. I think he’s a very good person. You know, he stood very strongly with me on NATO when I said NATO has to pay up. I think he’s a very good man. I think he’s trying very hard. And again, we’ve got to have a big election.”

Fredericks had asked the presumptive GOP nominee how he squares “this divide with MAGA and Mike Johnson.” Trump did praise Johnson for having secured as part of the package that Ukraine would receive more than $9 billion of economic assistance in the form of “forgivable loans.”
