It goes like this:
Trump runs for a House seat in Florida in 2022. (Mar-a-Lago is Florida's 21st Congressional district, and in recent years it's favored Democrats.)
A "red wave" gives the GOP control of both House and Senate.
Trump becomes Speaker of the House, with Cruz the new Senate Majority Leader.
They impeach both Biden and Harris at the same time.
And abracadabra, or abra Q dabra, their orange savior becomes president again.

(10,279 posts)Trump can have Speaker of the House.

(3,282 posts)Nevermind that Trump running for a house seat would assure that the Republican's would lose seats again. Nevermind that they are unlikely to win the Senate back. Oh, and nevermind that even if all of those things happened....they'd never had the 67 votes they'd need to actually convict.

And that presumes Donny boy can get himself elected to the House. Actually, he doesnt need to do that, the Speaker doesnt need to be a member of the HoR so if the GOP got the majority they could just make him speaker. The 2/3rds to convict rule is still the obstacle they could not overthrow... er, overcome.

(2,008 posts)until I remembered we're speaking of a Florida election. With Donny boy's toady DeSantis in charge of the state. Anything could happen.

(4,575 posts)we ca use this as evidence at trial as to why he should be convicted,.

(10,137 posts)John Quincy Adams did become a congressman after his term as president, and spent it trying to abolish slavery in the US: he died on the House floor. Donnie would consider it a step down, even if he were speaker (and Kevin McCarthy might have something to say about that)

(5,126 posts)John Quincy Adams?
John "Q" Adams?
Donald JOHN Trump?
Adams = 5 = Trump
You cracked the code. Trump is gonna run.
j/k - I agree with you. He would see it as a downgrade. There wouldn't be enough staff, stuff or opportunities for grift.

And people laughed and laughed and laughed and we had a good time talking about it
Because we knew it was a fantasy, not a plan.

(115,719 posts)I do recall, though, that there were a few (not you, of course) who thought it was actually possible. The Trumpers, however, always seem to think these goofy schemes are not only possible but likely.
