President Trump Expresses Strong Opinions About House Speaker Mike Johnson of Shreveport

  • In May 2025 in Washington, D.C., President Trump commended House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana for his efforts in advancing the administration’s budget and tax legislation.
  • Trump's endorsement followed Johnson's ongoing effort to shepherd a narrowly divided Republican majority's 'big, beautiful' tax bill to a House vote this week.
  • The bill proposes close to $5 trillion in tax reductions, maintains the tax breaks established in 2017, and eliminates taxes on gratuities, overtime pay, and interest from auto loans, all while negotiations continue amid opposition from the House Freedom Caucus and disagreements over the SALT deduction.
  • Trump called Johnson a 'unifier' and said, 'I'm his biggest fan,' emphasizing Johnson's faith and ability to manage a one-vote majority for six months.
  • Despite ongoing resistance from conservatives, Johnson plans to release the manager's amendment to move the bill to a full House vote before Memorial Day weekend, aiming to secure passage amid fragile GOP unity.
