House Speaker Mike Johnson made his pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago for a photo-op with former President Donald Trump — but when he took it X Monday, it didn't get the kind of reception he'd hoped.

"Just had a great meeting with President @realDonaldTrump this Presidents’ Day," reads Johnson's tweet. "Together, we will grow the majority and save America!"

The pose with the former president didn't wash well with heaps of folks who took Johnson to task.

Johnson's ill-advised tweet.

And the less than thundering applause.
