'Playing dumb': Mike Johnson hammered after wild claim about who's running the government

13. The Art Of Playing Dumb

A president boasted with flair,
“That Speaker’s my man over there!
I pull every string,
He’ll dance, shout, or sing—
In truth, I’m the one in the chair!”

Each morning Mike faces the throng,
Insisting that he can’t be wrong.
Though questions abound,
He’ll feign being sound—
And claim he’s not part of the song.

Four weeks, and the lights still are dim,
But Johnson stays loyal and prim.
“The Dems are to blame!”
He cries, with no shame—
While the fault clearly circles back him.

Said Olmsted: “He’s raised to new heights
The art of performing half-rights.
He shrugs at the mess,
Deflects with finesse—
A master of clueless soundbites.”

The White House, the Senate, the floor—
They’re claiming they don’t run the store.
But Trump says, “That’s me!
I’m all three, you see—
Why settle for one when there’s more?”
