Trump's oval office propaganda has taken a dark turn
With children carefully placed beside him in the Oval Office, the President of the United States told one little girl she shouldn’t play volleyball because of her size, asked a boy if he thought he could beat him in a fight, and then began describing Iranian protesters being shot “right between the eyes.” He told the children that Iran’s 159 ships are “resting at the bottom of the sea.” All of this during an event that was supposed to celebrate the return of the Presidential Fitness Award.
But beneath the spectacle was something more deliberate. RFK Jr. stood among those children and cited the statistic that 77% of young Americans cannot qualify for military service. Not childhood obesity as a health crisis. Not rising depression or loneliness. The metric they chose was military qualification. Hegseth announced the fitness test would first become mandatory at 161 schools on military installations, then said, “the idea that competition is bad is the beginning of decline of a nation.” This was never just about helping children live healthier lives. The central concern to prepare enough American children to serve. And once you hear it through that lens, the entire event looks very different.
And the man at the center of all of it has spent decades openly saying he believes exercise is a waste of energy, that the human body is like a battery that drains faster with use, and that he finds exercise boring. He appeared to doze off multiple times during an event celebrating fitness.
The Washington Post reported that the White House Counsel’s Office has been quietly briefing political appointees on how to handle congressional investigations, because they are bracing for Democrats to take back Congress in November. They are running internal training on how to survive oversight. They are not doing this because they feel confident. They are doing this because they are scared. And they should be.

We are living through a pivotal moment for our country, and my goal is to reach as many people as possible with clear, factual information about what is happening. The more people who understand what is unfolding, the better our chances of pushing back against chaos, cruelty, and corruption ahead of the midterms.

This has haunted me all day. If you have listened to the Sasha Riley interviews, the idea that he challenged a child to fight him, brings on the "chicken fights" that Sasha endured. He is a sick monster
Enough, FatBoy!! Leave children out of there. Amazing that he talks about fitness and he can't keep up. Go eat your big burgers in the corner and stop talking!!!!
