"I asked Trump about my idea that he run for House speaker after a GOP midterm landslide victory in November. I explained why we need him to lead the impeachment of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris: because "Milquetoast McCarthy" will never get the job done. I asked him why he endorsed Rep. Kevin McCarthy for House speaker. Trump's answer? "I never endorsed McCarthy for House speaker, no, never did it. I only endorsed him for reelection to his seat in Congress." Wait until you hear the rest of his answer. I draw the conclusion Trump is considering running for House speaker and leaving his options open. B-I-G news!"

I’m going long exploding heads, on max margin.
I’m all for it if he gets to hit Pelosi with the giant gavel on her way out.
That would be an interesting twist on things. Is Wayne Allyn Root working within this time -space continuum? That would actually be an amazing move by Trump under the right circumstances.
The house is not gonna choose him unless he runs for congress and wins. A more likely scenario would be McCarthy becoming president and choosing Trump as Sec of State
The Republicans would need a RINO proof 2/3 majority in both the House and Senate to remove the current fraudulent occupants of the Presidency and Vice Presidency and restore Trump. Given the effects of ballot stuffing on statewide races, a 2/3 majority in the Senate seems unlikely.
Trump also told him that it was a conversation to be held in private. Guess it’s not so private anymore .
I do not see this happening...many in the GOP dislike Trump as much as the Democrats..
I tell things to people I know are “leakers” when I want them to leak. “In private” gives plausible deniability.
Agree. Lets say the GOP gets 230. I’m certain there are more than 12 NO votes.
He didn’t say anything about Speaker of the House tho
I don’t think President Trump would be interested in this.
On the other hand, there’s nothing that stipulates that the Speaker has to be a member of Congress.
(And as someone else said, it would be great just for the ‘exploding heads’ value :-)

“All candidates for speaker must be nominated by members of the House, but they don’t need to be elected lawmakers of the House. Article I, section II of the Constitution says only that the House “shall chose their Speaker and other officers.” So far, the chamber has only chosen its own members as speaker, but a non-lawmaker is possible. Earlier this year, former Secretary of State Colin Powell received a vote for speaker, as did Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky.”
Hilarious!!
I wouldn’t even hedge that trade with a few “short’s” or “puts”
🕶😎👍
Correct. Speaker does not have to be a current member of Congress.

Yeah right. Trump wants to be the kingpin of the whole enchilada or nothing at all.
Wayne Allen Root is not only outside of this space-time continuum, his mind exists in an alternate reality.
This gives me Clickbait vibes. Just my opinion.
Nothing wrong with that, if you’ve got what it takes.
He did pretty well for us, the first time he was the ‘whole enchilada’.
(Do you miss him?)
