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.

MTG: President Trump is THE LEADER of the Republican Party.
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!
Not really a hard question, is it?
Fact. McCarthy is out. Fact: New Speaker is required. Question: Who do you want as the NEXT speaker of the house?
Wanting DJT to be the next speaker (which is now a necessity) is in no way inconsistent with not wanting to boot McCarthy out in the first place.
FWIW, did Trump ever say in the last week (publicly): "yes, please get McCarthy out!" If not, then how would NOT voting to get him out be in conflict with DJT? If anything, the question might be, WHY did Gaetz and team push to get McCarthy out when DJT did not ever indicate (publicly) that he wanted that outcome?
But you realize we're in a war of narratives, right? Why so much angst about what 'seems' to be MTG's position or actions on anything?
The possibility that DJT could be next speaker seems extremely tiny for starters. Secondly, is it even desirable? (lots of reasons why not, imo)
So perhaps a worthwhile question is: WHY are certain parties floating the narrative of supporting DJT for speaker? What impact does this have?
Imo, we're watching a movie. The movie's objectives include going through various phases to set up DS, disconnect DS, expose DS and then bring in justice. The movie is for waking up and mobilizing the uninformed and the unaware. If we're reacting to the movie story, instead of processing it as expression of a plan and script, then maybe we need to shift out gears.
