Breaking Exclusive: President Trump Tells Gen. Flynn He Would Serve as House Speaker
By Bryan Chai January 6, 2023 at 9:36am
There has been a stunning development in the ongoing House speaker drama: Former President Donald Trump said he would accept the role of speaker if elected.
Both Kari Lake and Gen. Michael Flynn confirmed the news to The Western Journal.
“I talked to President Trump last night and told him he would be great and he should do it,” Lake told The Western Journal. “[I said] that he could take Congress from the most hated branch of [government] to the favorite branch.”
Lake’s pep talk appears to have worked, because Flynn told The Western Journal the following: “Trump says, ‘I will do it.'”
This would be a shocking turnaround for Trump, who has long supported Kevin McCarthy for speaker.

Don’t you actually have to be a house member first?

As the Constitution does not explicitly state that the speaker must be an
incumbent member of the House, it is permissible for representatives to vote for someone who is not a member of the House at the time, and non-members have received a few votes in various speaker elections over the past several years.
[10] Every person elected speaker, however, has been a member.

Trump trolling. He won’t run for POTUS (can’t?) as Speaker of The House.
Duh.
Some people fall for anything.

Not a chance. Way too many RINO’s in the house. Trump would not even come close.

If it is true that Kari Lake and General Mike Flynn heard him say he would serve as Speaker, then yes, that is major news.
It does NOT mean it will happen, but it would be major news nonetheless.

I’ve never seen anything barring anyone from running for Presudent other than a certain age barrier, a lack of citizenship, and such, but never anything about being a leader in Congress

But it leads to the ‘third in line’ to become president. Think about how logical this move would be.

“It ain’t so. Trump was nominated for Speaker, and he received exactly one vote. “
I noticed that as well. No love for Trump in the House and I am not sure he wants to go through all that. He has other fish to fry.

Great news the dim heads will exploder

Remember how we always dreaded the thought of Pelosi becoming president?
Trump COULD become President this way!

The entertainment value of such an occurrence would be incalculable.
