Mike Johnson tries to sanewash Trump on Iran war: ‘Bones are informed by the intelligence’

House Speaker Mike Johnson attempted to define President Donald Trump's claim that he would end the Iran war when he feels it in his bones to mean "informed by the intelligence."

"President Trump recently said that the war in Iran will be over when he feels it in his bones," a reporter told Johnson on Tuesday. "What does he mean by that?"

"Well, I think his bones are informed by the intelligence, okay?" Johnson replied. "So, look, it's the commander-in-chief, whomever is the president, whomever is the commander-in-chief under our constitutional system is given a broad amount of latitude and authority."

"Their decisions are informed by all the intelligence and the experts, a large panel of them from the Joint Chiefs of Staff on down, who come in and advise the president, every president, makes a good decision. And hopefully they make a prayerful decision," he added. "I think this president will as well. He's getting great advice from great people. And I'm very encouraged about where we are. I think this will wind down quickly. And it's gonna be in the best interest of America going forward and of the whole world."
