It's not the worst theory out there. But you aren't thinking about the right question: WHY did Trump endorse McCarthy?
Given Pelosi never left the hideaway office, one might think that could have been a sign that McCarthy was controlled by the Dems. Perhaps Trump knew this and wanted to give the Dems some time to continue their destructive actions.
Or perhaps Trump was just being pragmatic. McCarthy was the only one who was going to get enough votes. If nobody can stop what is coming, does it really matter who the SOH is? Why continue fighting for somebody else to lead when there is not a path forward other than McCarthy?
Maybe Trump is supposed to backdoor into the Presidency by way of the Speaker position. He can serve the rest of this term and another if Biden and Harris end up being removed. But for that to happen, it has to be so bad that not even the Dem held senate can't keep them in power. If we're on a path to the Precipice, that seems like something that might be bad and severe enough to make it happen. Trump did say the election mess would be fixed within 5 months recently. That seems to reinforce this theory and even the two above.
Just throwing out some alternate paths forward. I have no clue how this is going to play out.
