Lesson from Mike Johnson: All it takes to get the media to change from mocking and reviling you to slobbering you with praise is to do what they want. It only takes $100B and the betrayal of your voters' policy goals, but what are those silly things compared to praise from the media!
Just amazing people pretending that Trump didn’t give him permission to do this.

It’s the other way around Trump goes along with anything the Congressional Republicans do. It’s why he signed every Omibus bill Ryan gave him and the corporate tax cuts.
He’s a follower, not a leader.
WSJ reported yesterday that Trump strategized behind the scenes with Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) to pass the war funding bill. All three voted YES on final passage. There's no longer any doubt: Trump's fingerprints are all over this

Absolutely bonkers to watch so many formerly intelligent people pretend that Donald Trump was against this round of Ukraine funding, when he clearly gave the go-ahead to Johnson has since endorsed him twice
