House Speaker Mike Johnson declared President Donald Trump “the greatest president of our lifetime” following his inauguration on Monday.
Johnson made the statement as he introduced Trump at an event shortly after Trump's swearing-in ceremony. Johnson was born in 1972, so his assessment puts Trump above every president going back to Richard Nixon, including Ronald Reagan.
Trump in turn praised Johnson as he began speaking, saying he was 'loved' by all 220 Republican members of the House of Representatives.
