Conservative radio host Wayne Allyn Root asked Trump in a June 4 interview, “Why not, instead of waiting for 2024, and I'm hoping you'll run in 2024, but why not run in 2022 for the United States Congress? A House seat in Florida. Win big. Lead us to a dramatic landslide victory taking the House by 50 seats, and then you become the speaker of the House, lead the impeachment of Biden, and start criminal investigations against Biden. You’ll wipe him out for his last two years, and then, you’ll be president.”

“Yeah, you know, it’s very interesting,” Trump said, adding that he had been urged to run for Senate as well.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who is looking to become the next speaker should Republicans take back the House, said Trump wants him to fill the opening if it arises.

The former president has also repeatedly teased a third presidential campaign since he left office Jan. 20.

"We’ll be making a decision on 2024, but if you look at the numbers, people are liking me more than ever before, and I think the reason is they're watching what is happening with our country," Trump said Wednesday on Fox News. "And I guess it is making me...

No one with even the slightest clue who Donald Trump is would propose such a ludicrous proposition to him.
President Trump, when first hearing of this proposal some time ago was polite and said he likes such outside-the-box thinking.
But, because he was polite and didn’t laugh at it immediately the “proposal” has lived on for some time now.
He finally decided to put this ridiculous idea to rest.

Anyone who thought differently had no idea who Trump is.

It’s not that he would or wouldn’t do it. It’s that the idea is OUT THERE! Don’t you get it?
We’re being played. Remember that tub of lard congressman from Harlem brought up the idea of reinstating the draft? Got teenagers and their parents worried. Just because an assistant is playing a game with us doesn’t mean we have to go along. It’s for the naive.

>>, but why not run in 2022 for the United States Congress? A House seat in Florida.

He doesn’t NEED to win a House seat to become Speaker of the House and take away Nanzi PeeLousy’s gavel.

That worthless milquetoast McCarthy should not even be in congress. He should be cleaning toilets at McDonalds. /spit.

Trump was and is a highly successful EXECUTIVE. Always seem foolish when folks want to make him something different. I mean - sincerely people.

“ He doesn’t NEED to win a House seat to become Speaker of the House and take away Nanzi PeeLousy’s gavel.”

Exactly.

Win the House and Senate first, then appoint Trump as Speaker of the House, then impeach Biden & Kamala, Trump gets at least a year and can run to serve 4 more.

Yeah, I know it’s silly, but it would be fun.
