Heavens to Betsy, Did You Hear About Donald?

Oh, sweetie, get a load of this! Our President, Donald Trump, who always goes on and on about being the "healthiest individual ever elected," has finally admitted he might need to trim down a bit! Can you believe it? After all these years, he’s actually talking about those new weight-loss injections, the ones he used to call "the fat drugs" when he gossiped about his friends!

He told the New York Times just this January that he hasn't tried them yet, but then, bless his heart, he mumbled, "I probably should." Well, I never! A man who takes a daily aspirin to keep his blood "nice and thin" is now considering the very thing he scoffed at. It just goes to show you, doesn't it?

Grandma's Sarcastic Sip of Tea

Honestly, honey, sometimes I just want to shake my head! Remember how he used to be 240 pounds? That's quite a bit, even for a tall man like him! He was in the "obese" category, you know.

And don't even get me started on his exercise routine—or lack thereof! He told the Wall Street Journal that working out is "boring."

he said. Back in my day, we walked to school uphill both ways, and we didn't complain about boring treadmills!

He's still eating his hamburgers and fries, bless his heart, just without the bun now. And veggies? "Firmly off the menu," the article says! My goodness, a man needs his greens!

Now, Here's What Actually Happened, Believe It Or Not!

Despite all his talk, he has actually lost some weight, the scamp! He’s down to 224 pounds since 2020, moving him into the "overweight" bracket. So, some progress there, even if he doesn't like sweating!

But the real kicker, sweetie, is this new deal he's made! Our President, who mocked these injections, has now brokered a landmark agreement with those big pharmaceutical companies, Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk. He’s calling it "TrumpRx.gov," and it's supposed to make Ozempic and Wegovy much more affordable.

Imagine, these drugs that cost up to £1,000 are now going for just £270 ($350) for those paying cash! And for our Medicare folks, it's a steal at £188 ($245) with a tiny £38 ($50) copay starting in April! He bypassed all those insurance companies, so people can buy directly online. Well, I never!

Why Grandma Just Can't Even Today!

Honestly, the man is full of surprises! One minute he's saying these drugs "haven't worked so well" for his "fat" friends, and the next he's practically becoming a spokesperson for them and making them cheaper for everyone!

It's just the funniest thing, isn't it? He can't stand a treadmill, but he's certainly found a way to keep the national conversation about weight-loss running at full speed! Oh, sweetie, what a world we live in!
