More "Trust me, bro" confidence...

REPORTER: Do you think the president should move forward tomorrow with tariffs?

MIKE JOHNSON: Look, you have to trust the president's instincts on the economy

Comments

ako1989.bsky.social•41 days ago

What a sad excuse of a man!

musele.bsky.social•41 days ago

Yeah trust the guy whose companies declared/invoked Bankruptcy six times

womansaveamerica.bsky.social•41 days ago

I guess from Mike Johnson’s perspective, he doesn’t have an opinion to offer Trump. He simply doesn’t think about continents! His state is turning against Republicans. The GOP has done nothing but abuse the state.

womansaveamerica.bsky.social•41 days ago

Typo: Constituents! Yes, Americans are rising to the moment & know they have to step up & get involved. No one is going to save us or the US but ourselves. Join your local Indivisible organization or have them help you get set up. Our lives depend on taking action!

slojmn.bsky.social•41 days ago

The whole “Trust Trump” theme is certainly coming up a lot, it’s as if, maybe the country doesn’t trust Trump. Wonder why!?!?

rlynner.bsky.social•41 days ago

"instincts on the economy"? The guy with zero knowledge of the economy, the guy who is going to add trillions of debt? riiiiiight.

solidgoldrobot.bsky.social•41 days ago

I feel like I'm the only one who remembers that Trump did tariffs on his first term, and it backfired spectacularly.

Why aren't people talking about how we have already seen Trump's economic "instincts" fail? This isn't the first time he's been president.

zephyl.bsky.social•41 days ago

That guy behind him looks about 8 feet tall!

srput.bsky.social•41 days ago

kimleazure.bsky.social•41 days ago

Trust? That word should be banned from any member of this current ass-ministration.

manhasnoname.bsky.social•41 days ago

Trust him?

Trump’s bungling of Covid created an economic unicorn: both supply-push inflation (no workers or resources) and demand-pull inflation (isolated people flush with cash).

He lost 3 million jobs and added $7T to the deficit the last time.

He’s a proven economic moron.

cdespres.bsky.social•41 days ago

Really? Criminal instincts aren’t super trustworthy.

nhmimi1224.bsky.social•41 days ago

Instincts? The man has had multiple bankruptcies, charities that have pilfered donations, casinos that have gone belly up, Trump university was a sham, the list goes on and on. But you just keep doing you Mr. Kiss Ass Speaker.

cakesssss.bsky.social•41 days ago

Cannot believe we are creating policy based on gut feelings now

nesmachna-kava.bsky.social•41 days ago

We will call it "Vibe economics"

outpost36.bsky.social•41 days ago

firetime411.bsky.social•41 days ago

I think Mike meant "it stinks" instead of instincts.

lerris.bsky.social•41 days ago

Canada is putting a T symbol on items affected by the new tariffs. I think we need the same. T here can mean Trump or tariffs.

3rdandking.bsky.social•41 days ago

He really repeated Trump’s line that we had the greatest economy in the history of the world before COVID. What a pathetic putz

podwaydave.bsky.social•41 days ago

I don't trust him why do you he is a liar and is a dictator

Wake up America is a dictator slayer just ask Hitler

podwaydave.bsky.social•41 days ago

duh

follow the great leader off the cliff

what a god fearing moron we have running the house

runeyog.bsky.social•41 days ago

Trump's instincts are to line his pockets whenever possible. Tariffs are nothing more than a way to acquire bribes.

khigbee17.bsky.social•41 days ago

Wouldn't trust trump to walk and chew gum

suezipkin.bsky.social•41 days ago

He might have to trust him. We don't have to trust the 🤡

janelliotte.bsky.social•41 days ago

And if he makes a mistake, it's okay, because White affirmative action

vagrantguru.bsky.social•41 days ago

The fuck I do.

Also, are they doing an "Addams Family" reboot in this picture?

scottmikos.com•41 days ago

i need someone to photoshop this with another little congressperson sitting in a teacup on the lectern, and then a giant with just like up to his shins visible in the shot

geminipsyche.bsky.social•41 days ago

billlindy.bsky.social•41 days ago

You mean the guy who bankrupted 6 companies? I don't think the country wants to be #7

mcktreacy.bsky.social•41 days ago

How many times has he filed for bankruptcy? Didn’t he steal from his named charity that was meant to help kids? How many businesses did he start that no longer exist?

Trust him? Hell no.

crinsc.bsky.social•41 days ago

“Every demographic was doing better…” is a lie, like everything else Johnson spews in demonstrating his unflinching loyalty to the criminal who occupies the White House. Believe nothing he says; putting blind trust in Trump ensures one thing: People will lose their savings, pensions & far more.

sallieshirai.bsky.social•41 days ago

I'm hearing "Trump is doing tariffs from the executive branch, with his executive authority. You can't hold us responsible for the resulting bad stuff at all."

jrheisler.bsky.social•41 days ago

Sure, trust him

jpwinker.bsky.social•41 days ago

Who wouldn't trust someone named "Mi Johnson?"

dukes26.bsky.social•41 days ago

Shut up Johnson you and the band are interested in big tax breaks for the rich. We do not need republicans in the house or senate to represent the citizens -that's where we can cut costs-according to you trust executive branch taking over yr duties? Resign idiots!

dukes26.bsky.social•41 days ago

FO Johnson all you and your band think that with your tax breaks for the rich

phreddiegirl.bsky.social•41 days ago

Stupid, stupid, stupid. He's such a bootlicker.

david4656.bsky.social•41 days ago

This American Exceptionalism thing really is a fiction, isn’t it? Lol

mainone-1977.bsky.social•41 days ago

Give it to Mikey he’ll eat anything! Keep suckling,but remember your on the hind test

pedemonteg.bsky.social•41 days ago

“It doesn’t involve Congress…”

vonotar.bsky.social•41 days ago

Look, he trusts Elon Musk. Nothing can go wrong.

exleper.bsky.social•41 days ago

Well…

phairly.bsky.social•41 days ago

TRUST????
Him????
F*CK ALL THE WAY OFF!

kimhope9.bsky.social•41 days ago

Just a few months ago under Biden we had the best economy in the whole world! For some reason people didn’t understand that and voted for Trump, our economy is now tanking!

berfel.bsky.social•41 days ago

Delusional

genxscribbler.bsky.social•41 days ago

But why? What has Trump done in any of his galactically misguided years as POTUS to give us any reason to trust his instincts?

The guy bankrupted a casino!! Do you know how difficult it is to do that?

fierceedward.bsky.social•41 days ago

Marvin Roffman knew exactly how difficult...

magund60.bsky.social•41 days ago

Nope I don’t.

bookofmimi.bsky.social•41 days ago

Mike MF Johnson tries to spin BS into gold. FMJ

tnbluedottoo.bsky.social•41 days ago

He sure likes to hear the sound of his own voice. Says lots of word, but nothing of value to anyone but his dear leader.

darkgeorge.bsky.social•41 days ago

Economics is a science not a gut feeling. But when you cheat on your SAT probably gut is the only thing that can help you decide, the brain cannot.

lanarmoss1019.bsky.social•41 days ago

The last time we trusted trumps instincts he became a felon found liable for sexual assault and filed for bankruptcy 6 times, no thank you 😉

dengelbr.bsky.social•41 days ago

Trump's instincts are just as good as his other business operations! Trump wins, everyone else loses!
All his bankruptcies were socialized and the public had to pay while he still made profits.
And if it's only that American taxpayers have to pay for his "hard work" golfing.
IMPEACH HIM!

ratatouillecat.bsky.social•41 days ago

Exactly what Napoleon’s generals said on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo.

traceyolk.bsky.social•41 days ago

This was a yes or no answer and he could not get himself to say yes. This speaks volumes!

momoftwo.bsky.social•41 days ago

Yeah, funny how they never trusted Biden. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

dat040.bsky.social•41 days ago

Jaja, his business instincts, that made se Deutsche Bank bail him out... jaja ...

wclamp.bsky.social•41 days ago

Trust somebody who has had 6 business failures?

manuele.bsky.social•41 days ago

Trump instinct is bankruptcy #7.

thenewnews.bsky.social•41 days ago

This vile little sycophantic weasel has abdicated the RESPONSIBILITY of Congress to control the purse.

His fealty to Cheatolini is tantamount to fellating the tyrant.

ducknrun35.bsky.social•41 days ago

This guy's not a leader. He's a bootlicker, representing a welfare state.

reggieoc.bsky.social•41 days ago

“Hold my beer.” IS NOT an acceptable economic policy.

barryzigas.bsky.social•41 days ago

Yeah, like the Trump U students trusted him, like the unpaid contractors on his casinos trusted him. No, thanks.

witchcrone.bsky.social•41 days ago

Instinct, huh...not facts, not intelligent analysis... bunch of egregious morons

ladivaloca.bsky.social•41 days ago

No, I do not, Little
Mikey.

kelleher.bsky.social•41 days ago

Before COVID, oh yeah, you’re right, that was the “Thank you, Obama” economy. But can Trump take credit? Why not … Yes He Can.

lbennet.bsky.social•41 days ago

The "instincts" of an aged thrice married, serial philanderer, beauty pageant impresario, felon and failed casino operator.

gonnerinsocal.bsky.social•41 days ago

He didn’t do massive damage to the economy until the fourth year last time

boobialla.bsky.social•41 days ago

Trump has had six bankruptcies. I wouldn't trust him to run a school fete.

gvern.bsky.social•41 days ago

Trump has no instincts

ttzzle.bsky.social•41 days ago

What planet does this guy live on?

krisshelstad.bsky.social•41 days ago

Put the little lady over there.....just maybe out of bro screen....................

krisshelstad.bsky.social•41 days ago

I know...not cool..but is there a weird height thing here for all these weirdos?

mbick.bsky.social•41 days ago

Just like all the contractors that Trump sent into bankruptcy during his lifetime

juliatowe.bsky.social•41 days ago

We DON'T have to trust Trump's instincts. The guy has 6 bankruptcies under his belt! He's a convicted felon! I wouldn't trust him to walk my pup around the block!

kalak26.bsky.social•41 days ago

We have no map. This is an economic tragedy that has never before been modeled. Sanguine is not a position of confidence.

normp.bsky.social•41 days ago

Kind of like we should trust his instincts on casinos ? steaks ? water ? airlines ? charities ? universities ?

uh no thanks

charlesra.bsky.social•41 days ago

Kool-Aid Confidence

spaceartal.bsky.social•41 days ago

Good grief, this sycophant wants us to trusts the instincts of a loser that bankrupted sux companies - including a casino?

oblyn.bsky.social•41 days ago

That, with a sprinkling of "it won't be my fault, you'll have to talk to him."

tribal-knowledge.bsky.social•41 days ago

Instincts? Like the instincts at bankrupt him six times? Instincts over experts in economics who have dedicated decades to studying this? Mike Johnson is a tool.

robin-d-frazier.bsky.social•41 days ago

Trust the guy who wears a Diaper ?

fierceedward.bsky.social•41 days ago

He's having the thought of praying for a concept of an instinct for a concern...

mikebennett.bsky.social•41 days ago

Like you trust his instincts on casinos, steaks, bottled water, universities, etc.

coopgrl.bsky.social•41 days ago

No —- no I don’t.

irishwhisky24.bsky.social•41 days ago

Yeah, but we've actually seen Trump's instincts on the economy.

knize.bsky.social•41 days ago

He bankrupted casinos but sure

clivesinthewoods.bsky.social•41 days ago

Trust the guy who bankrupted multiple businesses, cheated his investors, employees, and customers, stole from his "charity," stomped all over the graves of fallen heroes, tried to kill his vice president. Don't think so.
