It’s Payback Time For Speaker Johnson
The Trump devil is demanding his due
This is what happens when you sell your soul to the Trump devil to keep your job. You find yourself facing impossible choices.
Like flags. Flags all over the country are flying at half staff in honor of the late President Carter. The traditional mourning period is 30 days. Which happens to overlap Trump’s inauguration.
Way to go, Jimmy! Your timing was impeccable.
Trump, who cares for nothing but himself, wants the flags back to full staff when he takes the oath of office. He is so stupid and so thin-skinned that he sees the lowered flags as an insult to himself, rather than an honor to a former leader.
He has been blustering that this has never happened before. Sorry, Donnie. You should have been paying closer attention in history class. Richard Nixon, a REAL Republican, took the oath of office while the flags were at half staff in honor of Truman’s death.
No matter. Johnson has ordered that the flags be raised on inauguration day and then lowered the following day until the end of the traditional 30-day period.
Mikey, I hope Jimmy haunts you every single day for the rest of your miserable life.
