Few journalists have interviewed Donald Trump as often as nationally syndicated radio host Wayne Allyn Root. They are more than just acquaintances with a journalist-celebrity relationship. They are friends, which is why it’s no surprise Trump wanted to talk to Root privately about the possibility of the President running for Speaker of the House.
It’s a theory that has been proposed by many, originally by Root, that has major appeal to many of Trump’s fans. He would be second in line for the presidency and would be able to control impeachment proceedings against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. If the cards were played properly, he could be back in the Oval Office in or before 2024.
I spoke to Root after his interview and he teased it with me on the latest episode of The JD Rucker Show. The interview he did with Trump should be running soon, so be sure to check out rootforamerica.com to catch it when it’s live.
Some may argue that Trump endorsed Kevin McCarthy for Speaker of the House, but Trump told Root that is NOT the case. He endorsed McCarthy for his Congressional seat, nothing more. That’s an important distinction and may hint at the possibility Trump may really be considering this play. After all, nobody has the power to derail a failing presidential agenda as much as the Speaker of the House.
If Nancy Pelosi was able to be a thorn in Trump’s side when he was in the Oval Office and having an incredible first term, why couldn’t Trump do even more to Biden who is having the worst presidential term in modern history?
That would be SO SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would vote for Trump again in 2024, no questions asked, but running for Speaker of the House is a gimmick IMO and not something he should think about.
I am assuming Wayne Allen Root doesn’t know about this and is just bloviating. Run for President but this is foolish.
Worth it just to see Pelosi try to rip the gavel in half when she has to hand it over to him.
Ridiculous. Not gonna happen.
Stupid idea. I don’t see the point of this except as a back door to getting Trump into the White House as number three in succession.
Trump for Speaker
Desantis for President
What a team!
It would actually be good for the DemonRatz by solving their Bozo and Ho-Jo problem and the country, too.
Leaves only Schmuckey and the Squat.
The thing is, it’s not that difficult to impeach. It only requires a simple majority in the House to pass.
The hard part is getting a conviction, which would be needed to remove Biden/Harris. That requires 67 Senators to vote for conviction and unless there were at least 67 GOP Senators it would be very unlikely.
If we elected a House majority of MAGA people, that could happen.
Most likely the same Bush League Republicans that voted for Liz Cheney in Feb 2021 will be re-elected and McCarthy will be Minority leader or Speaker depending on how successful the Democrats are at cheating.
It would be worth it for ‘splodey head alone. Plus the image of Nanzi handing the gavel over would be cosmic justice
IMO, unless something changes, impeachment is the last thing we as conservatives should be doing, it will never get pass the Senate no matter what, regardless of the outcome of the fall elections, there will not be enough senators vote to remove Biden even if the Republicans had over 60 votes, some Republicans would not vote to remove him.
Take congress, take the senate and worry about routing the Democrats again in 2024.
Two fast impeachments and voila; The Return of the King.
Justice is served.
Now THAT would be sweet!
Not going to happen! Why would Trump take two years for his last term (two term limit) when he could have a full four year term?
This has been “The Plan” (of some, like Steve Bannon) since Biden was inaugurated. It seems sensible to me. Trump is too idle right now. He can become Speaker and start impeachment proceedings against Biden.
In order for him to be speaker of the house doesn’t Trump have to be a member of Congress?
IF he is considering this, I’m sure it would be because he thinks it would be best for the country. I believe him when he calls it a movement and that he is just the messenger.
“In order for him to be speaker of the house doesn’t Trump have to be a member of Congress?”
“The Constitution does not require that the Speaker be an elected member of Congress. However, no non-member has ever been elected Speaker.”
