Central News Agency (Washington D.C., May 5, Comprehensive Foreign Report) U.S. President Donald Trump said today that he exercises for a maximum of one minute daily, while also signing an order to reinstate the Presidential Youth Fitness Award for schoolchildren. Agence France-Presse reported that there has been much speculation about Trump''s health. When he returned to the White House last year, he was the oldest president in U.S. history to take office, and he will turn 80 next month. Before signing the proclamation in the Oval Office with several schoolchildren present, Trump said: ''I exercise a lot, probably one minute a day, at most. If I''m lucky.'' He also discussed a range of topics, including vivid details of deaths in Iranian protests. Trump patted a student''s arm and asked if he was ''a strong man?'' The boy replied, ''Yes, sir.'' Trump then asked, ''Do you think you could beat me?'' and then laughed, saying, ''I think you could.'' Republican Trump likes to boast about his physical fitness being superior to that of his Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden, who withdrew from the 2024 presidential election due to age concerns. Despite Trump''s busy schedule, there is still much speculation about his health, especially the bruises on his hands, swollen feet, and multiple instances of allegedly dozing off in public. The White House stated that Trump''s swollen legs are caused by a venous problem, and the bruises on his hands are due to his taking large amounts of aspirin.
