“Speaker of the House Donald Trump” has a nice ring to it, don’t you think? Take a moment and imagine Trump directing the daily order of business in the House. It would be an absolute spectacle. Democrats would be fuming. C-SPAN ratings would skyrocket.
This isn’t just some fanciful MAGA daydream. Nanci Pelosi may soon be forced to pass her gavel over to Trump, especially if Republicans dominate the midterm elections as many pollsters have predicted.
A number of Republicans have already thrown support behind the idea. Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, for instance, has repeatedly pledged to nominate Trump for speaker once Republicans take the House come November.
Of course, establishment RINOs and the media’s talking heads have painted this as a ridiculous impossibility. They said the same about Trump becoming president. That didn’t work out too well for them, now did it?
Trump becoming the House speaker is certainly possible. Although every speaker in the history of the House has been a representative, there is technically no such requirement. The House of Representatives can appoint whoever they want as their leader.

“It literally could be anybody,” legislative expert Casey Burgat told WUSA. Burgat further explained there’s actually some precedent here: Several non-members have received votes in the past. For instance, in 2019, Joe Biden received a speaker vote.
“This has never been tested to the point where someone has won that nomination where then we have to have this debate,” Burgat said. “But as it stands right now, because it hasn’t been disproven, the House will choose its own Speaker and other officers.”
When it comes to Trump’s opinion on all of this, the former president remains as unpredictable as ever. During a radio interview in June 2021, Trump called the idea “very interesting.” Then, during a March 2022 interview with Just the News, Trump dismissed the possibility, saying, “It’s not something I would be interested in.”
Maybe after November, he’ll come back around to the idea.
