I'd like Jamie Raskin to be speaker, if he's feeling fit enough.

He's smart enough to placate the corporate Dems and feisty enough to take out the trash.

Trump's immediate comment about working with Dems is from his playbook and is designed to placate. Be warned - it's the front cover of darker and more dangerous pages within.
Note: In December 2020 he worked deviously on setting the scene for J6

The Suez crisis has similarities to Trump’s Iran war with the roles reversed. America did not agree with the attack on Egypt after it ha nationalised the Suez canal and said so publicly. The UK and allies pussy footed around Trump trying to placate him, a grave error.
