Dont ever challenge Trump say House Speaker Mike Johnson

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/live-updates/trump-admin-live-updates/?id=122407456

"I was with the president in the Oval Office yesterday afternoon as some of this was unfolding, and I can tell you he, as he said in his own words, he was just disappointed, and I was, too. I'm surprised by Elon's sudden opposition, and look, I hope they reconcile. I believe in redemption." Johnson said.

But, without naming Musk, the speaker issued a stark warning.

"But I'll tell you what, do not doubt and do not second-guess, and don't ever challenge the president of the United States, Donald Trump. He is the leader of the party. He's the most consequential political figure of this generation in probably the modern era, and he's doing an excellent job for the people," he said.


THIS THE KIND OF BULLSHIT THAT WE HEAR FROM TRUMP LOVERS..MAKES ME SICK!!!

The Framers designed a government system that specifically had each branch checking and balancing each other. The Speaker dissuading people from challenging the executive office is indicative of a king, not a president. An unchecked king is exactly what the constitution is designed to prevent.

"IF I GO,..... YOU ALL GO"..........................Especially aimed at the Republicans in the Senate who have, without exception, served him 100% obediently for his first four years, and this entire term..............backing his ludicrous behavior every day, of every week of every month, of every year for four long years and now repeating it again.......

His entire CABAL will do ANYTHING to be in the Top One Percent when their Fascist Tyranny take over is completed.....

"But I'll tell you what, do not doubt and do not second-guess, and don't ever challenge the president of the United States"
Is this a threat because he forgot to add "Or else!" at the end.
