Trump's Second Term

Doctors with ties to the peptide industry will be reconsidering the effectiveness of peptide injections.

pbs.org said:
June 29: When U.S. health officials meet next month to reconsider a list of controversial peptide drugs, they will hear from a new set of voices: doctors and pharmacists with deep financial ties to the burgeoning industry of unproven chemicals. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released its list of participants for an upcoming meeting to reconsider the safety and effectiveness of several popular peptide injections, including some that have been praised by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) Jr. Previous FDA panels on the topic have been composed of academics and researchers. The agency's new group mainly includes health professionals who prescribe, produce or promote peptides, which have become a wellness trend among athletes, influencers and celebrities.

Biggest crowd ever!

Trump: "We had the biggest crowd that anyone has ever seen that unfortunately lightning caused it to leave, and everybody said, 'Well we'll do it another time.' When I heard that I said, 'No we won't. We're doing it on the Fourth of July' ... 150,000 people came back."

He's swapping the ionic kapitals to the far more ornate, and far less clean and simple corinthian variety. They are not suited to the building, but maybe he can prettify the West Wing to suit the columns?
 
Cruz: On behalf of all Americans, thank you for getting rid of that ridiculous red card.

President Trump: That was interesting.

Cruz: It was spectacular. There was a reason the FIFA trophy sat here for as long as it did

Helipad

Reporter: Are you building a helipad?

Trump: Yeah. For 50 years, we’ve been landing helicopters on grass. The grass is wet, soggy. Sikorsky is paying for it. You know why? Because they didn't tell us how powerful these helicopters were. This one is a beauty. It's got the seal of the White House. It's beautiful for the eagle, and it's carved out of granite some by some of the most talented people you'll ever meet, and you're landing on granite, which is the strongest stone.
