Donald Trump is considering a visit to the U.S. Capitol early next week, as House Republicans debate who should be the next speaker, according to two GOP lawmakers and two Trump allies.
The former president, who has not set foot on Capitol grounds since prior to the Jan. 6 riot, is considering making an appearance here in an effort to “unify the party,” according to one Republican lawmaker who discussed the possibility with a member of Trump’s inner circle this morning.
While some Trump allies have suggested the former president himself should serve as the next speaker, Trump said publicly yesterday that his focus is on reclaiming the White House, and the two Republican lawmakers said they don’t believe he’s seriously interested in the position.

The job conveys no immunities, and a minimal number of Republicans are required to “vacate the chair”. He would just be making a fool of himself.
“He would just be making a fool of himself…”
Huhh??? What do you think he has been doing for the past several years???
Quite frankly, President Donald Trump שליט”א is the only person even remotely capable of knocking some sense into these Republicans and sort out this Speaker issue with alacrity, just as President Donald Trump שליט”א is the only person who is capable and shall and up wrapping a deal between Zelinsky & Putin bringing this terrifying war to a swift halt & conclusion.
@147: President Donald Trump and “sense” is a steera! This is a person that everything he does and says makes no sense.
