Twice-impeached, four times indicted, disgraced ex-president facing 91 felony charges, Donald J. Trump got his wish––another stooge to wield the gavel in The House of Representatives.

After alleged sex trafficker Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz gave das boot to Trump-toady California Rep. Kevin McCarthy as Speaker, the GOP-led House found its new leader after three weeks of backbiting and infighting. He’s Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson, one of the architects of supporting Trump’s big lie of having won the 2020 election.

“I love Donald J. Trump,” John tells The Lint Screen in Washington as Donald Trump’s lips barely move, sitting in a Manhattan courtroom. “He was America’s best leader, sent here by God to save our great country. I am proud to do everything possible to get President Trump back in office.”

In Manhattan, Trump takes a long sip of water, and Johnson’s mouth becomes slack-jawed. Then the wooden man-child speaks again.

“I will do everything in my power to prove America needs our glorious leader back in the Oval Office,” Johnson says. “And that Trump is innocent in all the witch hunts against him. It is unfair. Very unfair.”

As Trump stormed out of his civil fraud trial in Manhattan, Johnson collapsed, at a loss for words.

“The show’s over,” said Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan. “We got our new leader. Now get the hell out of here!”
