Mike Johnson floats permanently branding own skin in honor of Trump: 'On my shoulder'

House Speaker Mike Johnson floated the idea of getting a tattoo Sunday in honor of President Donald Trump and his agenda, telling Fox News exactly what it would say and where he would get it.Speaking with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, Johnson was asked about Trump’s controversial voter ID bill known as the SAVE Act, which Trump has furiously insisted Republicans instead refer to as the “SAVE America Act,” despite the bill officially being called the “SAVE Act.”“The president and I laughed about it in the Oval [Office] last week,” Johnson said. “I told him, 'You know Mr. President, I don't have any tattoos, but if I did, it'd say “Save America” on my shoulder,’ okay? We passed it three times in the House already, we're going to pass it again!”As Johnson noted that the tattoo would be on his shoulder, he oddly pointed to his chest.Last week, Trump vowed to block the passage of an affordable housing bill Congress passed on a bipartisan basis until the SAVE Act was delivered to his desk for final approval.Described by some critics as a form of “voter suppression,” The SAVE Act would require voters to provide proof of citizenship to register to vote, something experts say could pose hurdles for the 52 of voters who don’t possess a passport and the 11 who don’t have access to their birth certificate. The bill would also disproportionately affect voters with lower incomes, who make up a significant share of Democratic Party voters.Mike Johnson says if he got a tattoo it would be to honor Trump and his agenda on his shoulder (he says as he points to his chest) pic.twitter.com/rigPEFruk5— Alexander Willis (@ReporterWillis) June 28, 2026
