DJT's Truth account has been posting a lot today. Much of it is criticism re: Ron DeSanctimonious, etc, but about 2 hours ago, he truthed and retruthed a small flurry of "Trump for Speaker" truths.
Knowing that DJT is a master of populist 5G warfare, we can understand that he has reasons for doing this, whether or not he considers this as a real possibility, including (potentially) increasing his profile, stirring up the hornets' nest in DC, and moving a variety of narratives.
Dasting.

President @realDonaldTrump should be our Speaker!
EDIT: Disclaimer: In recent days, I've generally poopooed the idea of DJT becoming Speaker. I still think that the idea is not very realistic, but it would be foolish to rule out anything, given how many unknowns there really are.
I will say one thing: If DJT WERE to become speaker, it would detonate such a titanic hydro-bomb across the entire world, it would be time to just sit back, and watch the whole thing crumble. I think it could only happen if indeed Patriots are in control of a LOT more than I suspect. The meltdown would be delicious.
That said, either way, I think it's dasting that he has retruthed the idea. Either way, DJT all the way!
I'd say my thinking is basically similar to yours. I don't see how DJT becoming speaker and then president by succession via ousting Biden and then Harris, is a good look optically.
I'm more inclined to think that he's stoking certain narrative fires, in order to flush out the real GOP Establishment.
