The 10-second clip which was shared on X had a caption, "HAHAHAHA: Mike Johnson POINTED at Donald Trump when he said 'hardened criminals' today during their press conference at Mar-a-Lago. Mike Johnson finally tells the truth about something???"

Significantly, as Trump gears up for yet another trial regarding indictments, Johnson made a conspicuous hand gesture. Trump is set to appear in court on Monday, April 15, concerning allegations that he paid hush money to Stormy Daniels, whom he alleged was his mistress, in 2016.

Moreover, Trump also made fun of the judges, who are involved in his legal battles, during a post on Truth Social. He posted, "Who is the WORST, most EVIL and most CORRUPT JUDGE? Would it be Judge Arthur Engoron, Judge Lewis Kaplan or, could it be that my current New York disaster, Judge Juan Merchan, is the WORST?" 

He added, "They are all from violent crime (without retribution!) filled New York, are really bad Judges, are extraordinarily conflicted and unfair, and most obviously to all, suffer from a rare but very lethal disease, TDS, commonly known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME."
