"I never wanted the position. I even endorsed McCarthy but the Republican Caucus has spoken so I'll except the position."
IMHO Trump will not ACCEPT being House speaker; he's president of the United States. He's already shot down this goofy stunt, which would be seen by nearly all voters as a tricky end-run around getting elected. It would be spun as Trump being desperate and terrified of not being able to win an election, so he's resorting to underhanded trickery.
