Holy fuck it's happening. Trump could be President again as soon as early next year.

How this works is that the house majority nominate and elect the speaker of the house. Traditionally it's a sitting member of congress, but it doesn't need to be. They can nominate/elect just about anyone.
And the speaker of the house is 3rd in line of succession for the presidency, i.e. if the president dies or is removed, the VP becomes president. If both the president and VP die or are removed, the speaker of the house becomes president.
It's expected that the Republicans will win back both the house and the senate in November's midterm elections. This is usually what happens in a first term president's midterms. And the Biden presidency is looking exceptionally unpopular, so the Republicans are going to do really well.
If they win the house, they can impeach Biden. If they also win a supermajority in the seantae (2/3rd majority) they can convict and remove him. Then they can do the same to Harris, making Trump POTUS again.
Best part is, if he takes over Biden/Harris' presidency, the remaining two years of that term don't count against Trump's term limit, so he can run again in 2024 and potentially be a 10-year president.
I don't know. Many US states passed or had to pass new election maps which give the Democrats theoretically more seats. We will see how the turn out will be for Democrats.
Fortune favors the bold. At this stage, the West has absolutely everything to lose and everything to gain by such a maneuver. For starters, the world is fast getting off the USD (See: rise of PRC digital currency; Russia asking for transactions in Rubles; Saudis no longer insisting on use of USD; etc) and sensing weakness, the CCP is ramping up the last leg of their hundred year marathon and are preparing to take Taiwan, which will change global trade routes and will mean, at the very least, a short proxy war and the redefinition of trade routes for decades to come. It'd be worth it. Then in 2028, DeSantis can ride in.
The question in my mind, in this scenario or when Trump runs in 2024 is who he'll name as his VP. Won't be Pence. I doubt he'll name Flynn, although it'd mitigate against assassination attempts. Gaetz is a nobody outside of Florida and populist circles, and despised by establishment GOP'rs. Carson? Tim Scott?
Saudis are still insisting on the USD for oil. They didn't move away. And I bet many European countries would rather stop the import of Russian oil and gas instead of paying it in Rubels.
And probably also a child molester.

Word is Saudis have been taking other currencies some time. Sat in a Canadian bank conversation in which the room was divided, not on whether it'll happen, but whether it's already been happening. US media's puppeteers cannot afford to have that admitted because it'll be a major disruption.
As for Gaetz, he's definitely no molestocrat but a man traduced. His popularity in Florida invited a full-on smear campaign from the swamp. That said, cromagnon brows low above mouths that speak honestly don't go far in US Politics.
