""The president mistakenly called Greenland Iceland, his speech is slurred, he's got bruises on his hands. Are you at all worried about the president's health or his decline at all?" the reporter asked Johnson."
""Is this a serious question?" he barked. "This president sleeps about three hours a night. He outworks everybody in this building by a factor of two or three.""

"What a load of bullshit! Since when is posting unhinged grievances and rubbish on X 100 + times during the night considered "working hard". https://t.co/DOHX3lqoSk- Aure (@AureolinDay) January 22, 2026"
On January 22, 2026, House Speaker Mike Johnson sharply rebuked a reporter who asked about President Trump’s slurred speech, misidentifying Greenland as Iceland, and visible bruises. Johnson called the question unserious and defended the president by saying he sleeps only about three hours a night and outworks everyone in the building by a factor of two or three. Social media users mocked the defense, suggested that overnight activity likely consisted of posting on social platforms rather than working, criticized framing lack of sleep as a boast, and noted that Johnson’s evasion itself suggested concern.
