Wayne Root pitches to Trump the idea that he should run for a House seat in 2022 in Palm Beach, become Speaker, then begin impeachment proceedings against Biden. Trump responds, “that’s very interesting.”

1. Trump lost by wide margins in that district in both presidential elections.

2020

2. He doesn't have to be a member of the House to be elected Speaker.

So far they all have been incumbent US representatives, but it isn't a requirement in the Constitution.

7. It is such a powerful position that house members would fight him for it.....

It may not be mccarthy, but it wouldn't be trump either. If they win the house, it will be by a razor thin margin, and they will need all to vote in unison.

8. The odds Trump knows this are right around zero.

3. Trump should follow Wayne's advice.

What could possibly go wrong?

5. Trump should do it to finish his job of destroying the GOP.

6. If this was anyone else

One would think they were trolling the orange asshole

9. Or there's always scenario #2. Trump runs for Congress, wins, but Democrats keep the majority.

Nancy decides to keep the gavel and spends her remaining time in Congress being boss of "Depends guy."
