Why would he be so eager to become the lightning rod for the base?

the question here really is why would anyone want to become Speaker - its a horrible job.

I'm almost thinking, as happened in someone's timeline, that Trump might just take it for the lolz.

Assuming Paul Ryan does end his tenure next week, it will be the shortest tenure as Speaker of the House since the 1870s (Michael Kerr only served 257 days, and only two other speakers not including Kerr served shorter than Ryan - John Bell and Theodore Pomeroy).

I will now accept my accolades.
