Speaking to Fox Business host Stuart Varney, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) once again pushed the Republican Party line about President Donald Trump's supposedly superhuman capacity for work.
The topic came up when Varney asked his guest, “Do you work 18 hours a day?”
“More. More,” Johnson replied. “And I have to, because President Trump works 21 hours per day.”
That 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.
Last week, Johnson was the subject of an unflattering New York Times piece claiming the speaker was drowning in the daily responsibilities of his job.
