OP, you reversed the names in your post. You had me questioning my own recollection of that quack.

Yup. Trump refers to Ronny Jackson as Ronny Johnson.

From the article:

Seconds later, he continued, “Doc Ronny Johnson. Does everyone know Ronny Johnson, congressman from Texas? He was the White House doctor, and he said I was the healthiest president, he feels, in history, so I liked him very much indeed immediately."

Jackson was elected to Congress in 2021 and is one of Trump's most vociferous defenders on Capitol Hill.

All of this would be the funniest shit ever if it wasn't so dangerous to world politics.

and despite the ridiculously bad stuff he says this type of stuff still gets me. Here he just outright says he likes people who flatters him because they flatter him. He just openly says how he is the most primitive and rudimentary of humanity.
