Trump jacks with Democrats to keep Pelosi out of House Speaker's chair americanthinker.com/blog/2018/11/t… via @AmericanThinker
It's actually pretty funny.

“I can get Nancy Pelosi as many votes as she wants in order for her to be Speaker of the House,” Trump tweeted.
“She deserves this victory, she has earned it,” he tweeted. “But there are those in her party who are trying to take it away. She will win!”

He later called her “tough” and “smart,” gushing to reporters, “I like her, can you believe it?”
Horning in and telling Democrats to name her House Speaker is exactly the right way to get them to not do it. Because not doing it will be to defy Trump, and that means brownie points for all their supporters.
It's a terrific means of sowing dissent among Democrats and playing them like a fiddle, given that their biggest animator is Trump Hate. Trump knows that it's that very Trump Hate that makes them as easy to manipulate as putty.
If he gets Pelosi anyway, he can claim credit for supporting her and maybe make deals. If he doesn't, the Democratic leader that does become the House Speaker will be an inexperienced weakling without Pelosi's political muscle, and that should keep Democrats in chaos.
