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]. Therell 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 Trumps presidency.

Hes extremely compassionate. People dont know that, Johnson added of Trump. Hes extremely funny. I think people are starting to appreciate his sense of humor. And he just impressed all of us once again.

Watch the video here:

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 Trumps 2024 campaign.

Critics reminded Johnson of Trumps less-than-funny and compassionate moments. Former GOP lawmaker Joe Walsh, the onetime tea party movement favorite, called Johnsons praise bullshit.
