Dana Perino accidentally called Donald Trump “President Truth” on Friday, but apparently thought he deserved the moniker and called him that again ― on purpose.
The Fox News host and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) were discussing what they perceived as California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s downplaying of prayer in response to the Minneapolis church shooting.

“President Truth,” Johnson agreed.
“I think he might like that nickname,” Perino said.
Perino eventually addressed a crime bill Trump said he’s planning with Johnson, but her embrace of “President Truth” stopped many on social media.
“This is literally just porn slop now with all this stroking,” another snarked.
Here are more detractors’ truths about “President Truth.”
