Donald Trump for speaker of the House!

 


If this doesn’t rally the Democratic Party around the table nothing else will?

 

The 'Donald Trump for speaker' idea won't die

If Republicans regain the House majority in 2022, they should install the former President as speaker in January 2023.

Earlier this week in an interview with onetime Trump White House political guru Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows said aloud what lots of Trump-y types have been thinking for a while.

Meadows, who served as Trump's White House chief of staff, said that if Republicans regain the House majority in 2022, they should install the former President as speaker in January 2023.

"I would love to see the gavel go from (House Speaker) Nancy Pelosi to Donald Trump," Meadows told Bannon. "You talk about melting down -- people would go crazy."

 

Getting the pitcher my friends and neighbors?


“The republicans in congress do not care about you your family or even the country they only care about themselves”!

 


To be clear: It would still be a massive long shot for Trump to wind up as speaker. There's a reason that the House has never picked someone outside of its ranks to serve as its leader.

 

My point is that as you can see now this is what is keeping them up all night thinking!

Remember; thinking about anything other than them is a strange concept!

Plus,

Trump quite clearly has designs on running for president in 2024 -- and it's hard to see how a pit stop as speaker of the House furthers that cause.

Of course, because we are talking about Trump here, ruling any idea out -- no matter how wild and wacky -- is a fool's errand.

The Point:

There's enough unhappiness with McCarthy among the Trump wing of the party that this idea will keep coming up. Whether the former President actually pursues it is a different question.
