Jen Psaki mercilessly mocks GOP as ‘Little Mike Johnson’ invents new award for Trump

March 25, 2026

Jen Psaki kicked off Wednesday night’s show by burying President Donald Trump in mockery over the fact that the GOP invented yet another fake award to give him at a moment when his foreign policy and his polling numbers are both in freefall.

Why it matters: This spectacle underscores the ongoing narrative warfare surrounding Trump, as Republicans scramble to maintain loyalty and support in the face of dwindling public approval. Psaki’s commentary sheds light on the absurd lengths to which political figures will go to uphold their narrative.

What to watch:

Future awards the GOP may concoct for Trump.
Public reactions to the GOP’s continued support for Trump amid controversy.
Potential shifts in GOP strategy as Trump’s influence wanes.

What can regular people do?

1. Name the mechanism Look past the personalities. Ask what power, money, office, donor network, media machine, or process is actually doing the work.

2. Track the decision-makers Identify which officials, committees, agencies, donors, or institutions can change the outcome or block accountability.

3. Apply specific pressure Make one concrete ask: disclosure, hearings, oversight, affordability action, ethics enforcement, or a public explanation on the record.

4. Share smarter Pass along verified reporting plus the civic lesson. Help other people understand not just what happened, but how the system enabled it.

The goal is not just outrage. It is durable public understanding and pressure.
