At a White House ceremony on Tuesday, May 5, President Donald Trump, 79, criticized the inclusion of transgender athletes and defended U.S. military actions in Iran, at one point even jokingly questioning if a teenager could best him in a fight. The remarks came as he signed a proclamation to bring back the Presidential Physical Fitness Award. This move signals a push to return to the school-based physical strength testing of the past, reversing the Obama administration’s shift toward programs centered on general, long-term health.
