House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told a ‘yuge’ lie saying that President Trump works 21 hours per day.” Everyone knows he doesn’t work at all.

That statement, if true, would, of course, leave the 79-year-old president only three hours in the day for rest. Trump made headlines this week for again appearing to doze off in the middle of a televised meeting.

Speaker Mike Johnson has taken Trump sycophancy to new heights with an unbelievable claim about how much time the 79-year-old president spends working.

When asked by Fox Business host Stuart Varney on Friday if he personally works 18-hour days, Johnson, 53, replied, “More! And I have to, because President Trump works 21 hours a day.”

Johnson’s bizarre claim comes as Trump is reportedly enraged over reports that his health and competency are in decline.

Sources close to the president, including one adviser, told Zeteo on Thursday that Trump is “sensitive to being compared to Sleepy Joe,” a nickname he bestowed on former President Joe Biden. The nickname might especially sting after Trump was photographed appearing to doze off during a string of recent meetings.

On Nov. 6, a Getty Images photographer captured the president leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed during a meeting in the Oval Office intended to announce lowering the cost of GLP-1 drugs. Trump told reporters later that month that he is “not a sleeper.”

I’m a wartime speaker in a real sense,” Johnson told Varney. “It’s not the most enjoyable job in the world, but I do love what we’re doing. I love the team I work with. We have a unified Republican Party. If we didn’t, Stuart, we would not have delivered on all the things we have this year. There’s much more ahead of us, and this team is excited about it.

us the tax cuts and the regulatory cuts,” Varney replied.
Johnson promised, “There’s more coming.”

In the joint interview with his wife, the speaker said he sometimes worries that because he gets so many phone calls and texts, he worries that he has something important.

“I think literally 100,000 people have my cellphone number,” Johnson said. “The greatest challenge of my day is trying to keep up. Because I miss literally hundreds of calls and text messages in a day. The peril is, I don’t know how important it was, what I missed.”
