@w7voa We should stop referring to him as the former president and call him the former reality TV show host instead.

@w7voa what’s the maximum number of felony indictments a sitting speaker has ever been under?

TFG couldn’t stay focused on his own Fraud Trial for a full 3 days. He would quiet quit the speaker in a heartbeat.

This was my first thought as well. He was (thankfully) too busy playing golf to have time to do as much damage as there might've been. I can't see him performing the cat-herding job of Speaker.
