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.

Somebody tell me this ain't so!
Mods, please put in Extended News if Breaking News is objectionable, thank you.
No. It won’t happen, thankfully.
I think the Dims would tell enough of their Rat Pack to stay home to see McCarthy elected before seeing Trump become Speaker. Trump did get a vote but nobody else joined in.
I think you’re right.
But if thus story is true, it’s going to make the McCarthy hearings quite dramatic.
It ain't so. Trump was nominated for Speaker, and he received exactly one vote.
This leak may be what gets mccarthy off high center tonight?
Donald Trump elected speaker on January 6th?
I don’t know what y’all are smoking’, but I’d like some.
Matt Gaetz voted for him.
I expect more to join Gaetz if this story is true.
But not holding my breath, because most Congress critters are already bought off.
He'd be the BEST Speaker of the House ever!
#9. Gaetz voted for Trump before this news (if true( was known.
This will turn some people.
Not gonna happen. Sadly, the swamp creature McCarthy will be SOTH by weekend’s end.
I wish it would happen!
This is a great idea.
Maybe this is Trump 3D chess again. Dems will stay home, because they don’t want to take a chance
It would be worth it just to see heads explode on the other side of the aisle.
“Holy Frick Batman!”
I hate to break it to you but the Constitution says the House chooses their speaker.
“But if thus story is true, it’s going to make the McCarthy hearings quite dramatic.”
ZERO IMPACT!
Are you completely daft?
No one said anything different!
“But if thus story is true, it’s going to make the McCarthy hearings quite dramatic.”
This will turn no one.
