Summary
Donald Trump held an Oval Office ceremony with children, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Education Secretary Linda McMahon, and MAGA athletes to sign a memo reinstating the Presidential Fitness Test Award for schoolchildren. Despite the event's focus on youth fitness, Trump reportedly used the occasion to ramble about unrelated topics including Iran war and trans athletes, demonstrating his tendency to deviate from the stated purpose of events regardless of the audience.
