WASHINGTON — Aides and allies close to former President Trump have discussed the former president giving the official Republican response to President Joe Biden’s March 7 State of the Union address, according to five people familiar with the talks.

Two of the sources said that Trump himself has discussed it, but both said he is leaning against the high-profile gig.

The decision on who will deliver the response rests with Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

A source familiar with the planning of the State of the Union address said there has been no outreach by the Trump campaign to those planning the GOP rebuttal.

1. Sure, why not?

Does anyone think Trump will get an eloquent and forceful rebuttal to the SOTU? I'd give him credit if he remembers who he's running against.

[Silent Type]

2. He'll have to check his court schedule. Honestly, I'd like to see trump do it. He'll look stupid.

[LudwigPastorius]

3. Please put that shitshow on national TV.

Trump will spend the entire time talking about himself instead of policy, or the country in general.

People other than political junkies and the MAGAts at his rallies need to see the stream-of-garbage that flows from his failing brain to his anuslike mouth. So far, he's been able to avoid that kind of exposure by skipping the primary debates.

[Botany]

4. Go for it! Trump is articulate, with a flawless history, not at all looking like some kind of clown,

with only 91 felony charges, and he is off putting not in the least so please make that him the face of
the GOP. What could go wrong? Especially having him answer back right after a man of President
Joe’s intellectual skill set has spoken.

[BaronChocula]

5. Yes! Please!

Some people seem to need a reminder of what a sicko this fucknuts is. If they even watch.

[Demobrat]

6. OMG I would love to see that.

Intelligent, articulate Joe immediately followed by a ranting, raving, foaming at the mouth diatribe.

PLEASE do it, Smelvis, PLEEEEEEASE.

[C Moon]

7. And you can be sure this will happen. Anything to feed the fucker's ego--even if it's bad for the party.

[DFW]

8. A coherent, sober, lucid SOTU adress, followed by incoherent ranting that not even Trumpanzees can follow

That will probably be enough to make even the Foxsuckers cringe, although you'd be hard-pressed to find one that will admit it publicly.

[Conjuay]

9. Put it on pay-per-view!

That'll help the Republicans money problems.

[Hotler]

10. Then the whole country can see his tiny hands.

[PortTack]

11. Perfect!

[republianmushroom]

12. Do it, let trump rebut Biden's state of the union address.

[Kennah]

13. Talk about the 1779 Battle of LaGuardia Airport

[Novara]

14. Oh jeebus, that would be great!

[Cha]

15. Proceed Putin Assholes.

[onetexan]

16. Damn fools are trying to get him free air time

[mahina]

17. Translation: trump is pressuring them to let him deliver the sou response.

Please cave in! Do it.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

18. It'll be me me me me me

"I am the greatest ever and all they do is pick on me."

[ProudMNDemocrat]

19. TSF is incapable of being coherent.

A monumental word salad about "me" being the VICTIM !

NOTHING about ways to move the country forward. Democratswill tell you the sky is blue and the sun is shining. Republicans, the total opposite while the sky is blue and the sun is shining.

I cannot imagine anyone listening fir even 30 seconds to the vile garbage coming out of his mouth.
