The U.S. Constitution does not specifically state that the Speaker of the House must be a sitting member of Congress.

“The House of Representatives shall chuse (sic) their Speaker
and other officers.”

If that’s the case, if the GOP takes control of the House in 2022, they could appoint Trump to the position of Speaker, even if he’s not a sitting Congressman.
