President Donald Trump’s sense of humor was on full display Tuesday morning as he joked with the children gathered in the Oval Office about his fitness routine.
“I work out so much. Like, about one minute a day, max. If I’m lucky,” Trump said during an event to announce the restoration of the Presidential Fitness Test award.
Trump signed a presidential memorandum for the award as part of the administration’s broader Make America Healthy Again agenda.
TRUMP RESURRECTS PRESIDENTIAL FITNESS TEST IN MAHA MOVE
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the chief leader of the MAHA movement, was among the administration officials who joined Trump on Tuesday. Also in attendance were Education Secretary Linda McMahon, War Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner.
The president is famous for his affinity for fast food, including McDonald’s ‘Big Macs’, Diet Coke, and well-done steaks, a stance at odds with Kennedy’s preference for whole foods over ultra-processed meals.
Trump’s main form of exercise appears to be golf, as he frequently visits his golf clubs on weekends.
He underwent his second annual physical examination in October after the White House previously announced that he was diagnosed with a vein condition known as chronic venous insufficiency.
“President Trump continues to demonstrate excellent overall health,” Trump’s physician, Capt. Sean Barbabella wrote in a memo at the time. “His cardiac age — a validated measure of cardiovascular vitality via ECG — was found to be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age. He continues to maintain a demanding daily schedule without restriction.”
