Johnson blames Iran for killing his economic "rocket"
Mike Johnson somehow thinks a conflict with Iran just happened to derail the economy he claims he was setting up for success. As if the US didn't choose to escalate with Iran. As if this wasn't completely predictable. The Speaker is either lying about what he expected or too naive to hold the job. Given the pattern of Trump admin delusion across foreign policy (see: Senate picks botching basic facts, Pentagon brass kept in the dark), probably both.
Mike Johnson: We set the table for the U.S. economy to take off like a rocket, and then we got into this conflict with Iran
