for" at least implies "speaks in his name."
Of the four you list, the first is the only one with psychologically
personal significance for him. The second is most important to his
family and friends--but is full of risks. The last two only hold his
interest briefly and by necessity.
Seeing his name in print ought to be first on the list. If the headline
read, "Trump impeached and indicted," he'd still get a thrill.

I wouldn't know even where to begin to decipher this one:
"What speaks for the orange clown" :)

That sounds more neutral. Otoh, speaking for, as soaring on his
behalf, but in this case different actions and his views do the
speaking, not a person.
