Another day, another made-up honor for Donald Trump.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) drew swift mockery on Wednesday after he awarded the president the first-ever America First Award at the National Republican Congressional Committee fundraiser, which he claimed would now be given annually from this point forward.
We could think of no better title for what that is, Johnson said of the golden eagle statue. Thats this beautiful golden statue here. Appropriate for the new golden era in America.

GOP lawmakers are treating Trump 'like a child' â and he 'should be offended': MS NOW host

The MS NOW segment began with a clip of House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) telling attendees, We're going to honor him with a new award that we will present annually from this point forward. But he is the suitable and fitting recipient of the first-ever America First award. We can think of no better title for what that is. That's this beautiful golden statue here, appropriate for the new golden era in America.
That led a wide-eyed co-host Mika Brzezinski to blurt Stop! as Joe Scarborough laughed and offered, You know, it's because the FIFA Peace Prize award has gone so well......
And they're kind of, you know, forgive me, they're infantilizing him a little bit, but here's a trophy. Here's an iPad to watch bombs exploding in Iran to color your view of how the war is going.
They treat him like a child, he added. If I were him, I would be offended by it. But of course, I don't think he is.
