Trump Shares Posts Pitching Himself as Speaker and Calling Kevin McCarthy a Traitor

I know we're living in the crapsack timeline, but I didn't realize it was a crapsack made of little shit people that the Republicans sculpted like they were Play-Doh and then threw them in the sack and made screaming noises, pretending the little shit people were screaming, before declaring that sack to be their new second-in-command after Trump.

On the bright side, he can't claim executive immunity or pardon himself if he was selected to be Speaker, since the legislative branch does not confer the same level of such protections, and he wouldn't be able to campaign as much, since he would have to do actual work.
On top of that, he would have a much smaller megaphone, much less power, and he would be a live-in distraction for the true believers in Congress.
Basically, he'd have to successfully assassinate two members of the executive branch who are around and guarded by numerous people at all times.
Or just manage to impeach them successfully. Which is unlikely, but possible.
