“Kevin McCarthy will not seek the Speakership again,” secret Trump advisor and cable propagandist Sean Hannity announces before pulling something out his colon. “Now, sources telling me at this hour some House Republicans have been in contact with and have started an effort to draft former President Donald Trump to be the Speaker, and I have been told… uhhhh… that, ah, President Trump might be open to helping the Republican Party at least in the short term if necessary, ahhhh, if it’s needed.”
Trump got away from the draft before so… But seriously, Trump as Speaker has Jerry-Spring-meets-The-West-Wing-on-Survivor-Island all over it. Trump would likely demand the House unilaterally make all his legal difficulties go away–and he’s try to defund Jack Smith’s Special Counsel’s office, too! Besides, Trump’s got rallies and fundraisers and court dates coming up, so he just can’t do it.
