Dems LOL After Mike Johnson Heaps Outrageous Praise On Trump Following Budget Bill Passage

GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson gave credit to President Trump after the passage of Republicans' budget bill early Thursday morning—and Democrats couldn't help but laugh at Johnson's fawning claims.

Democrats laughed openly after House Speaker Mike Johnson heaped praise on President Donald Trump after the "Big Beautiful Bill"—packed full of GOP priorities—passed the House of Representatives.

The bill narrowly passed the House in a 215–214 vote early in the morning, following days of marathon meetings, high-stakes negotiations stretching across Pennsylvania Avenue, and a flurry of last-minute revisions that proved essential in uniting Republicans behind the legislation.


What made the whole thing weird however was that Johnson took the time on the House floor to laud Trump as if he were the second-coming.

Johnson said:

"Today wouldn't be possible without the leadership of arguably the most powerful and the most successful and the most respected president in the modern era of United States."

Democrats laughed at him as the words came out of his mouth and Johnson strangely chuckled himself before adding:

"Our Democrat colleagues mock the objective truth. We were delivered unified government, my friends, in November. The White House, the Senate, and the House were delivered to the party on this side of the aisle so you can laugh all you want."

You can watch the moment in the video below.

Johnson sounded like a total sycophant—and people swiftly called him out on it.


The sweeping spending bill extends Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, increases funding for border security, deportation efforts, and national defense, and introduces stricter Medicaid work requirements expected to leave millions of low-income Americans without health coverage. It also rolls back green energy tax incentives and raises the debt ceiling by $4 trillion.

Among other measures, the bill fulfills two of Trump’s campaign pledges by eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay.

Republicans are leveraging the special budget reconciliation process to push the package forward, a move that allows them to bypass a Democratic filibuster in the Senate. With full control of Washington, the GOP has loaded the bill with a range of partisan priorities—positioning it as one of the most consequential pieces of legislation in recent years and a defining marker of Trump’s second term.

Owens broke with other MAGA conservatives after sharing what she claimed were text messages from Kirk, allegedly written two days before his death, in which he said he planned to “leave the pro-Israel cause.” Andrew Kolvet, the spokesperson for Kirk’s Turning Point USA, confirmed that the messages were "authentic."
