It actually is a logical move. Who else can enough GOP reps agree would be better than letting a Dem have it. He does retain "Leader of the Party" status to a large degree.
Would be fun to see. We can hope, but it feels like just more hopium.

I don't know. Trump wouldn't look good in a Nancy wig.

Trump would be better at Speaker than President, he can punish defaulters in real time.
As President, his only way of retaliation was to withdraw endorsements during election time.

I think an issue with Trump being Speaker is exposure. He would so much be in the line of fire for assassination.
Maybe he could be a ZOOM Speaker. The number of times Nancy appeared as an avatar and a CGI bot, it probably doesn't make that much difference.

@GNL
So yes, in theory Trump could be elected speaker, and Democrats were worried enough about that possibility that they created a bill to block the possibility, though I'm pretty sure it didn't pass.
How can Trump be speaker of the House? Anyone can be speaker of the house?

The Constitution does not directly state that the House Speaker must be a member of the chamber, but to date, the role has never been filled by an outsider.

Please Dear Lord hear my prayer. Allow your loyal servant a day of great joy and guide the voters and impress upon them how entertaining it would be to have Trump become the next speaker of the House. Amen

Trump should become speaker of the house. I will laugh for the next two years if he does... so much that I may consider stop being a white male terrorist.

Trump becomes Speaker. Biden and Harris get ill or step down. Trump succeeds as president (third in line.) Trump gets elected in 2024. DeSantis takes the next presidency. 10 years for total for Trump, 4 with DeSantis in charge. We might, MIGHT, be able to turn this country around.

There's at least 201 RINOs that would see to it that Nancy Pelosi is elected a speaker of this Republican house, before they would vote for Trump.
Donald Trump comes to mind first.
Speaker doesn't need to be a member of the House. And I would LOVE to see GOPers squirm over voting against him.
And he would piss off the Dems even if he's not there most of the time.
