'Hard wired for cultism': Mike Johnson's gushing praise of Trump leaves observers stunned
Brad Reed 2-3 minutes 10/13/2024
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Sunday morning left several observers stunned when he heaped praise on former President Donald Trump's physical prowess.
During an interview on "Meet the Press," Johnson was asked about the former president repeating debunked claims about Haitian immigrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.
Johnson responded by lavishing Trump with compliments about his physical and mental capabilities.
"He has more stamina and mental acumen and strength than any political figure probably in the history of the country that I can remember," Johnson said at one point.
Johnson further went on to dismiss concerns about Trump not releasing his medical records by saying that the former president "doesn't require as much sleep as the average person" and that he's "an unusual figure."
Johnson's obsequious flattery of Trump left many observers on Twitter appalled.
"I remain amazed at the number of people psychologically hard wired for cultism," marveled national security expert Steve Metz .
"We’re approaching North Korea level of sycophancy when the speaker of the House of Representatives describes Trump in words that the typical internet rando might be slightly ashamed to post," observed Georgetown Law professor Aderson Francois .
Author Jennifer Erin Valent found herself enraged by Johnson's description of the former president.
"I very much dislike watching Donald Trump speak, but my blood boils listening to Speaker Johnson," she wrote . "This man routinely claims the holy name of my Savior out of one side of his mouth while smugly lying and manipulating out of the other. I find that distinctly abhorrent."
Former Chicago Sun-Times editor Mark Jacob, meanwhile, slammed NBC News for even inviting Johnson on in the first place.
"'Meet the Press' keeps inviting Republican traitors like Mike Johnson to come on the show and lie," he wrote . "It often fact-checks them. If the traitors thought these appearances hurt their cause, they'd stop appearing. They keep coming on because they think NBC boosts their brand"

I'm sorry. These people are evil.
I too was stunned reading this nonsense today.
No one wants to know Trump's cholesterol levels? No one wants to see his EKG?
Its supposed to be obvious from his schedule?
FFS, maybe the candidate who sounds incoherent daily really cannot get by on 4 hours of sleep a day.
Johnson's security clearances should be revoked, he is a full-fledged cult member by his own words.
I saw Johnson on MTP where he kept insisting that no more proof was needed of Trump's mental or physical wellness than Trump being out in public at his rallies telling lies with utmost confidence!
Don't be sorry. It's the truth.
I think that my comment that I posted on your Elon Musk article would be even more appropriate here.
Considering the fact that around half the voters in the USA want him to be President, he sure as hell DOES have the mental acumen for being the most successful Pied Piper in the history of the country. And you know what will happen if he IS elected...
Well, that is life in the fastlane
I would really appreciate it if you could indicate what it is that the youtube is about.
