Asked about Trump calling Zelenskyy a dictator, Mike Johnson says, "He is a great dealmaker, as everyone will have to acknowledge whether they like it or not. He wrote the book The Art of the Deal, right?"

What these people hope to accomplish by not answering questions and gaslighting psychoTrump boggles the mind... not really... just waiting for shit to hit the fan.
And Schwartz stated he regrets that he wrote it as it helped create theTrump successful business man myth along with the scripted reality tv show. He was always a grifter and crime boss. This was well known by New Yorkers and anyone with a brain. The GOP should of never let him near their party.
If Trump hasn't been born rich and he was still alive, he'd be some redneck who went by the name DJ and would be recently divorced from his 3rd domestic abuse situation.
This is ridiculous! The emperor has no clothes and his cronies continue to enable him. The world is watching the US Government blatantly lie to their people. It is Orwellian Newspeak. They think if they lie enough, the masses will start to believe what they are saying.
JFC. These Sycophants better be made to pay at the polls in 2026. They are literally the lowest of the low. Oh and Tony Schwartz actually wrote the book Mike.
Really tired of this tale of "the great dealmaker", "king of the deal", "real estate genius". Trump is not, & has never been any of the sort. His minions repeating it is rather unsurprising, but commentators newsreaders, & podcasters, from this side of the pond, repeating the lie, is shameful.
You got it right! Putin has something on Donnie that was clear his first term.Ukrainian people need everyone’s help but you saw the NATO vote yesterday and who’s with Putin!
Trump dishonored all our Veterans who fought for Democracy when he joined Belarus, North Korea and Russia and went against our allies to defend Russias unlawful invasion and war against Ukraine!
It can't be said enough .... Mike Johnson is probably the most worthless Speaker of the House I've seen in my lifetime, Kevin McCarthy runs a close second.
Nope. He did not write it. Come on Mikey, he has bankrupted how many companies? He signed a trade deal with Canada and Mexico during his first term that he now calls the stupidest deal made as he initiates tariffs on both. You will not be remembered well.
He also wrote the books on how to be a sexual predator, how to sink a casino, how to commit real estate fraud, and how to get impeached twice and get re-elected, and how to overthrow the greatest democracy on earth.
“Deals are my art form. Other people paint beautifully on canvas or write wonderful poetry. I like making deals, preferably big deals. That’s how I get my kicks.”
Trump: The Art of the Deal by Donald J. Trump w/ Tony Schwartz
The worst part is you know these guys are smart and know that DJT businesses have always failed, but yet they are more than willing to lie in public and expect us to believe what they are saying even when they know that we know they are lying. So who are they fooling? MAGA that’s who.
Full commitment to Project 2025. He sees Trump as today’s biblical Cyrus. Classic Christian nationalist perversion of facts and reality to support the mission.
Really picking up on the Trump invention of declaring everyone in the room (including all media) agrees with him, knowing media will not articulate a contrary opinion.
You could see MAGA Mike was lying from his tone, diminishing eye contact, and his body language became more tense. He's a bad liar, which is the only compliment I can give him. Thou shalt not bare false witness! MAGA Mike, how will you explain this to your God on judgment day?
What does calling Zelenskyy a dictator have to do with being a good deal maker? Which of course he is not! And btw, he didnt write the book. Learn shit before you speak about it mike! If I write a book about space does that make me an astronaut?
His book should have been called the Art of the Grift because as a charlatan, he's #1. Johnson is a disgusting POS and a traitor to the American people.
If the Soeaker had ever shown an ounce of character or the intelligence to let us imagine he’s capable of sharp humour you could possibly assume this is actually masterful trolling if Trump’s grandiose narcissism. But he hasn’t. So we won’t. Just boilerplate shameful grovelling.
Aaron was being ironic, Gale...the "right" was the giveaway!
most people here know the "president" can only write his name, and he has to go to the wharton school of having a rich dad, in order to learn even that!
find something to laugh about today! I had to turn off the news the past few days, it wasn't good for my blood pressure or mental health in general. It's hard times, but this is still the only life we get, so let's darn we'll have some fun! Don't let the b*stards grind you down! ♥️
No, he did not, and that book was all just lies and bullishit, anyway. Only complete morons think trump is actually skilled at "deal-making", finance, or negotiations. He's a low- rent mobster loser who thinks he can bully his way through life, and so are his wimpy azz-kissing little fan boys.
He is so cowardly. Grow some backbone for once. Trump is terrible at making deals. You think Americans would have thought about that before putting in a felon and a 6 time bankrupt idiot into office.
The reporter should have responded.
"wrong" he didn't write shit, he had a ghost writer that practically wrote the whole book, just like his Boss Elon Musk, they just take credit for other people's work.
Was Johnson able to get away with this ?!! Substitute dictator with monster…Who would ever think they’d get anything from someone by calling them a monster??
Should have asked Johnson if he believes Zelensky is a dictator…force him to take a stand! Ask every single Republican Congressperson
Mike Johnson full of 💩 again!
This didn’t happen in the movie ‘The Apprentice’.
Even his mentor Roy Cohn thought he wasn’t a good deal maker after he over expanded too fast into Atlantic City & his other hotel purchases.
You idiot. He’s only a great deal maker because he calls himself a great deal maker. There is no evidence to support “great deal” making. Only evidence to support the opposite. Squandered 400 million of daddy’s money, went bankrupt 6 times, etc etc
Tony Schwartz wrote “The Art of the Deal.” Many observers have remarked that Trump is a very poor negotiator. He is easily manipulated and flattered and is bad at math. He likes to get leverage over his opponents, whether it be blackmail, threats or other forms of coercion. He also has a mob.
When this Trump shit goes tits up. I really hope all of these shithouse liars towing his line because they want to stay on the gravy train are brought to task and all of them are prosecuted accordingly
Actually, he didn’t write it. A ghost writer wrote it for him. And what the hell does calling Zelenskyy a dictator have to do with negotiating an end to the war?
More like "He slapped his name on a book Tony Schwartz was hired to write." The idea that Trump could actually write a book (or even read one) is laughable. We've all seen his social media posts; can you imagine a book length version of that?
Trump has never even read a book, let alone written one. The ghost writer of Art of the Deal & the producers of The Apprentice owe the world a huge apology.
Sounds like whether he likes it or not, Mike Johnson will have to acknowledge the truths in my book, I Fucked Mike Johnson’s Mom, Wife, and Adult Children.
No a ghostwriter wrote it. Hello, journalist????? No correction?
Oh and no answer at all on the dictator question. Business as usual between lazy journalists and traitorous Republicans
No, Mikey J. People with brains will not acknowledge that dump has any talents at all, and certainly he is no "dealmaker." That you believe he is only shows your lack of intelligence.
Mike Johnson is a weak little fool - a traitor to democracy who will get many people killed because of his cowardice.
And ghostwriter Tony Schwartz wrote the book for Putin-owned Trump - a failed businessman, criminal con man & an unhinged narcissist, who should be in jail right now.

And not only does DJT have multiple bankruptcies himself, he is the direct and proximate cause of others filing bankruptcy.
What a deal!
He is a pathetic fuck!
Trump is not a great dealmaker – all his deals go bad
Trump did not write the book – the actual author warned us about Trump
Trump shouldn't make a deal with Ukraine – Russia needs to be kicked out
You are irrelevant, Mike.

There, I fixed it for ya…
HE. DID. NOT. READ. OR. WRITE. ANY. BOOK. EVER.
There, fixed it for both of you!
I am as far from being one of them as anyone can be.
Yes, Speaker Johnson.

"I wish the book weren't even in print."
"I knew this was a bad guy.'
"This was a guy who lacked ethics, and was willing to push the envelope very, very intensely when it came to the Law."
