Speaker Johnson’s Warning To Jeffries

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has a message for Democrats who can’t stop reacting to President Trump’s posts — you’re making it worse for yourselves.

In a candid interview on MSNBC, Johnson said he warned House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) not to overreact to Trump’s social-media trolling.

“We live in a social-media age, and President Trump uses it better than anyone,” Johnson said. “I told Hakeem, ‘Man, don’t take the bait — it only makes it worse.’”

🔥 Trump’s Viral AI Videos Have Democrats Fuming

The comments came after President Trump shared a pair of AI-generated videos playfully mocking Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).

In the first clip, Jeffries appeared with a sombrero and mustache as Schumer’s AI voice admitted:

“Nobody likes Democrats anymore. Even Latinos and Black voters are walking away.”

A day later, Trump dropped another AI parody featuring Jeffries with exaggerated facial hair — instantly going viral across conservative media.

Democrats, however, didn’t find it funny.

Jeffries lashed out, calling the video “racist” and “fake,” demanding Trump “say it to my face” instead of hiding behind artificial intelligence.

💥 Johnson’s Advice: Don’t Feed Trump’s Fire

Speaker Johnson said he’s seen it time and again — Democrats take Trump’s bait, the media amplifies it, and Trump ends up dominating the headlines.

“Every time they overreact, it proves Trump’s point,” Johnson said. “They don’t know how to handle him.”

Now tensions are boiling over in Washington. Jeffries has even challenged Johnson to a public debate over the ongoing government shutdown, accusing Republicans of creating a “health care crisis” and blocking spending bills.

But conservatives say Jeffries’ outrage is misdirected — and that Democrats’ obsession with Trump only strengthens him politically heading into 2026.

🗽 The Big Picture

While Democrats play defense, Trump continues to drive the national conversation with a single post.

Johnson’s advice could be the most valuable lesson for Democrats this election cycle:

Ignore Trump — or get roasted by him.
