As former Squeaker of the House Kevin "Qevin" McCarthy desperately tried to hold on to his position, he may have wondered why the Malignant Loser hadn't placed calls to the radical right-wingers that wanted his scalp. Surely, if power hungry loon Rep. Matt "Teen Spirit" Gaetz had gotten a call from the Malignant Loser asking him and his cohorts to back off, they likely would have. But McCarthy was left in limbo until he was voted out. From Rolling Stone:
"Donald Trump, the most prolific chaos agent in American politics, has been conspicuously absent from the hubbub surrounding McCarthy’s ouster. The most the former president could offer was a brief Truth Social post on Tuesday lamenting that 'Republicans are always fighting among themselves.'
Trump’s silence is particularly notable considering he has defended McCarthy in the past, and as the most powerful and influential figure in the GOP could have likely put an end to the move to oust the California congressman from his perch atop the House of Representatives — if he really wanted to.
Instead, Trump stood on the sidelines and watched McCarthy’s spectacular humiliation.
According to those with knowledge of the matter, Trump’s hesitance to swoop in and rescue the now-former House Speaker — who for years has been one of the former president’s most pliable defenders and who went to great lengths to rehabilitate Trump mere weeks after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — was just cold, pragmatic calculation." (our emphasis)
After all, the Malignant Loser is all about himself and what's in it for him, not helping a slavish loyalist when he needs it. Another tale of misplaced loyalty to a treacherous, narcissistic sociopath.
