Trump reveals his secret new job as he humiliates GOP leader to his FACE with brutal four-word jibe

By PHILLIP NIETO, US POLITICAL REPORTER Published: 13:48, 8 June 2026 | Updated: 13:57, 8 June 2026 Donald Trump has privately humiliated Mike Johnson in closed-door meetings, bragging in front of the speaker that he, not Johnson, is the one really running the House. The President has teased Johnson in front of his fellow GOP lawmakers during closed-door meetings at the White House over the Speaker's reliance on him to pressure members into voting with the party.  The slim Republican House majority leaves no room for error. Over the past two years, Johnson has repeatedly asked Trump to help him win over members and rally support for the GOP agenda, according to a bombshell report by NOTUS. 'I have two jobs: being president and being speaker,' Trump joked in front of Johnson at the Oval Office.  Trump's jab occurred in front of the conservative lawmakers Johnson is tasked with leading.  'He’s the one getting everyone in line,' a House Republican said of Trump to NOTUS.  Oftentimes, Trump is forced to call lawmakers while they are voting in real time to force them to change their votes on the House floor.  Johnson, moreover, has on several occasions ceded legislative responsibility to the White House, directing members to secure its blessing before introducing legislation in the House. Trump is often tasked with whipping key Republican votes in the House to ensure they vote with the party Johnson has repeatedly asked Trump to help him win over members and rally support for the GOP agenda 'It is a total shirking of responsibilities to the White House,' another House Republican complained to NOTUS.  'Everything has to be preordained and pre-blessed, and there’s very little that we’re able to have our own will on. We should be empowered to pass our own priorities, not just follow what the mandate of the day is.' No comments have so far been submitted.
