Billionaire Jets Owner Woody Johnson Called Out Over ‘Bulls**t’ Trump Praise
Woody Johnson, the billionaire owner of the New York Jets, was ripped for his fawning praise of former President Donald Trump on Monday.
Johnson hailed the presumptive GOP nominee as “extremely compassionate” and “extremely funny” in an interview with Fox News’ Jesse Watters.
“I think the world will be a safer and better place [with Trump as president]. There’ll be less crime,” claimed Johnson, who is the great-grandson of the founder of Johnson & Johnson and served as U.S. ambassador to Britain during Trump’s presidency.
“He’s extremely compassionate. People don’t know that,” Johnson added of Trump. “He’s extremely funny. I think people are starting to appreciate his sense of humor. And he just impressed all of us once again.”

Johnson, who bought the Jets in 2000, made his comments after a high-dollar weekend fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida, raised a reported $50.5 million for Trump’s 2024 campaign.
Critics reminded Johnson of Trump’s less-than-funny and compassionate moments. Former GOP lawmaker Joe Walsh, the onetime tea party movement favorite, called Johnson’s praise “bullshit.”
Bullshit. Trump is NOT compassionate. Not at all. https://t.co/CmOCfe4Q6l

Remember when he was first sworn in the office and had his cabinet meeting and he expected every person sitting at the table even people who are like generals should rave on and on about how great Trump is. It was the most awkward, looking first day of work video I’ve ever seen.

I've never witnessed a person with less empathy than Donald Trump.
And his "humor" is always juvenile and cruel.— Mrs. Betty Bowers (@BettyBowers) April 9, 2024
I’ve literally never heard him tell a joke. We’ve all heard him try. https://t.co/8RvPG4vLlO

He bragged about sexual assault. He led a deadly insurrection to overthrow the govt. He’s mocked war heroes and wounded soldiers. He praises dictators. He’s facing 92 felony counts. Like, what are we doing here? Why are we tolerating and entertaining this absurd bullshit?! https://t.co/ZoVcXNP18z

Someone who employs Aaron Rodgers might think so. Decency and integrity doesn’t matter to him.

Who are these "people" this bootlicker speaks of? Trump wouldn't know compassion if it bit him, and his "humor" is that of the 12-year-old school bully who liked to throw rocks at cats. https://t.co/2VCXNucTyq

His sense of humor! Like the time he told people to inject bleach and eat horse dewormer and then a million Americans died. https://t.co/KRSLz8CNwn

Pretty obvious why this scion of obscene inherited wealth is one of the most incompetent owners in the history of the NFL. https://t.co/U7x6HrfCkm
