Why is Trump backing Gym Jordan for Speaker of the House?

[Cyrano]

I'm just guessing here, but No-Jacket-Gym is perhaps one of the stupidest people in the House. And Trump probably likes people who are stupider than he is.

Actually, Marjory Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are probably just as dumb, but Trump would never back any women. To him, they are merely objects to be used.

Gym is his guy. Especially because of the sexual abuse allegations involving Jordan when he was a coach at Ohio State University.

1. My guess is he's trying to recapture media attention on his terms.

I doubt he gives tuppence about exactly who it is, as long as his name is mentioned in tandem with the story. Media ledes about his support for one or another choice for position are ledes not examning just how bad his life's about to get from now on.

2. He knows Gym is a well behaved ventriloquist's dummy

And will say whatever Trump mumbles?

3. Because Trump feels that Gymordan will do the most damage.

They must all feel so proud.

4. Agree and I'll offer an addition incentive for TFG's Jordan support.

The other choice is Scalise who is a cancer patient, maybe a cancer survivor…not sure. That makes him weak in TFG’s eyes. To paraphrase “I like candidates who don’t catch cancer”.

5. 'Gym Shower' Jordan

I'm surprised the Repubs want a SECOND Speaker who was involved in the sexploitation of children.

6. Because..................

shithole favors people who are dumber than him, equally a person who hates the USA and loves money and power.

7. He kissed Trump's ass the most?

8. Chaos and media attention for himself

[Polybius]

9. Marjory Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are far dumber than Jordan

They say and do more ridiculous things on a daily basis as well. Jewish space lasers? Hand jobs in a theater?

10. Because Jordan is dumber than he is. nt
