Mike Johnson Makes Desperate Attempt to Spin Trump's Jaw-Dropping Comment

House Speaker Mike Johnson made an admirably ridiculous attempt to spin one of Donald Trump's more eyebrow-raising comments about his abject economy.

Johnson went on CNN on Wednesday to clean up after Trump told reporters at a White House signing ceremony that he loved the latest inflation numbers—on the same day data showed the Consumer Price Index had risen 4.2 percent over the past year and spiked 0.5 percent in May alone, the fastest pace in more than three years.

Asked by reporters if he was concerned about the surge in prices, Trump was unequivocal. "No, I love it. The numbers were great," he said.

Johnson, who was standing in the room when Trump said it, rushed to CNN with an explanation. "It was totally out of context. You know what he was talking about," he told reporter Manu Raju. What Trump meant, Johnson said, was that the number would look great in comparison to what comes next.
