The rule theyre referring to is one that says the speaker cannot have a felony indicment that has a sentence of 2 yars or more of jail time.
So if any of Trumps almost 100 felony indicaments have a charge of 2 years or more of jail, he would be disqualified by the current Republican requirement.

"Due to a legal quirk in the U.S. Constitution, there isn’t a requirement for the speaker of the House to be a member of the legislative body"
