Though he no longer holds a job in politics, he still weighs in on political matters.
During a recent speech given in Cleveland, Boehner had supportive words about Donald Trump and what his presidency may hold, reports USA Today.
He described the president-elect as, “…kind of a Democrat…kind of a Republican,” and noted, “I think there’s an opportunity in this new political order to do big things.”
