Make Mr. Trump Speaker of the House!

The Republicans have an opportunity to make history, and appoint Donald Trump as the new Speaker of the House. Troy Nehis, a Republican from Texas, is nominating Mr. Trump to be our next Speaker. This is an outstanding move and I heartily endorse it. Republicans have the majority in the House, and if they want to make Trump their Speaker, they can do it (The Speaker does not have to be a member of Congress).

Trump is open to the idea, according to Sean Hannity. “I have been told that president Trump might be open to helping the Republican Party, at least in the short term, if necessary,” Hannity said.

The job became open when a small group of right-wingers in the House, led by Matt Gaetz, got mad at the previous Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, for failing to abide by the deals that were made when he got the job. Republicans are sharply divided over whether Gaetz is a bad guy or a good guy. Former Speaker Newt Gingrich, happy that the WaPo has given him a platform to bash Republicans, says that Republicans Must Expel Matt Gaetz.

Nah. This is an opportunity for Republicans to unite. And we can and should unite under our new Speaker, Donald J. Trump, the former president of the USA. Here are a couple of reasons why this is a great idea, off the top of my head.

All the Democrats who voted to fire the Speaker acted in bad faith

We live in highly partisan times. Apparently, the Democrats in the House are just screwing with the Republicans and don’t want to get anything done. McCarthy “reaches across the aisle” to keep the government functioning, even as our deficit spending reaches Godzilla proportions. That’s what made this small group of right-wingers mad -- we’re spending way too much money, inflation is a nightmare, and the Democrat benches are filled with Ted Kennedy clones. “Fat, drunk, and running away from crime scenes is no way to go through life, son.”

All the Democrats, with their perfect party unity, voted to fire McCarthy. That’s what you get for reaching across the aisle, Kevin! The Democrats thought it was hilarious that the Speaker was out on his ass. They were celebrating and ready to throw some more babies into the volcano. And then a Republican from the great state of Texas suggests that maybe Donald Trump can make Congress great again.

Liberal heads are already starting to explode. The Hill, with the most dishonest headline I’ve seen in a while, says “Trump rules out Speaker run.” And yet the quotes from Trump don’t even sort of match up with the headline. Meanwhile, over at NBC, they’re reporting the exact opposite. “Trump is not ruling out being the next speaker.” And in the subhead, NBC is freaking out that he might be the Speaker and can’t believe this is allowed.

MSNBC tries to reassure its 61 viewers that Trump would hate the job. Why?

One of the obvious problems with this scenario is that being House speaker is an incredibly difficult and time-consuming job, which Trump would absolutely hate. By all appearances, the Republican already has his hands full — the last time I checked, he’s the frontrunner for the GOP’s presidential nomination and a defendant in multiple legal disputes — and the idea of him taking on the duties of Congress’ top job is preposterous.

Senators and governors have long run for president while keeping their day job. It’s simply not true that Trump can’t run for president while he’s Speaker. Are we supposed to believe that being Speaker is harder than running for office while you’re a Senator or a Governor?

You know what MSNBC is really saying? Trump’s got low energy! Now that’s funny.

Trump’s got a huge lead in the polls and he can help unify the Republican party, and give the Democrat machine a little payback. How about an investigation into the FBI, or the CIA, or the rest of the alphabet mob. Trump can also investigate Mr. Fauci, or Hillary, or Joe Biden’s son, or that ridiculous show trial that Nancy Pelosi thought was a good idea. And finally, he can investigate all those sketchy J6 prosecutions. I hope he does.
