Another day, another made-up honor for Donald Trump.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) drew swift mockery on Wednesday after he awarded the president the first-ever America First Award at the National Republican Congressional Committee fundraiser, which he claimed would now be given annually from this point forward.
We could think of no better title for what that is, Johnson said of the golden eagle statue. Thats this beautiful golden statue here. Appropriate for the new golden era in America.
