Does the fact that they can't even agree on a Speaker give any indication of what the next 2 years in the House will be like?

Correct me if I'm wrong here. I believe I heard once that the house can vote in anyone they want, the person doesn't have to be a member of the house.

So hypothetically they could after the first failed vote, vote in Trump.

The Constitution does not require the speaker to be an incumbent member of the House of Representatives, although every speaker thus far has been. The speaker is second in the United States presidential line of succession, after the vice president and ahead of the president pro tempore of the Senate.
