A Jordan speakership would be a Trump speakership. Gym would be wearing a headset and constantly on a call with the criminal known as TFG.

Most of them don’t even know what the job is. Speaker of the House, not speaker of the Republicans. They don’t have to nominate Trump as speaker, they’ll just put in one of his stooges and take direct orders from him.

He is not a good man trust me. He met w/my now late father in the 1990s @ Ohio State where Dad
taught and after 15 to 20 minutes he was we should meet again to which my dad said no. Later he told
me that Jordan was a John Birch type who you couldn't tell anything to.
