Trump Takes A Bow For Kevin McCarthy's Speaker Win: 'I Did The Country A Big Favor!'

Donald Trump previously urged House Republicans to stand behind McCarthy or risk having a far worse speaker.

After earlier appearing to back away from Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s bid to become speaker of the House, Donald Trump was taking credit Saturday for the California Republican’s hard-fought victory.

Trump, who recently said, “let’s see what happens” as McCarthy lost vote after humiliating vote, took credit for “greatly help[ing] McCarthy attain the position of Speaker of the House.” Trump preened on Truth Social: “Thank you, I did the Country a big favor!”

He even claimed the “fake news” was “very gracious” in reporting his crucial help. He posted stories from Fox News, Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post and far-right media noting that McCarthy thanked Trump for his support after finally pulling off a win late Friday following a record 15 votes.

Not only is Trump senile he's quite delusional too.

I'm glad he decided to remind everyone how powerful he truly is. Senators Walker, Oz, Laxalt and Masters are even more reminders!

He did his usual job of making people too disgusted to vote.
