‘He Actually Looks Healthier Than Ever Before!’ White House Press Briefing Ends With Hard-Hitting ‘Question’ from Mike Lindell Lackey

Friday’s White House briefing ended with a softball question as an employee of My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell asked how President Donald Trump looks so great.

During Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s opening remarks, she noted that Trump was undergoing a routine physical exam at the time. Leavitt assured the press that a readout from the White House physician would be provided sometime later.

At the end of the briefing, Leavitt fielded one final question from Lindell TV’s Cara Castronuova. In addition to the question itself, Castronuova showered the president with praise about his physical fitness.

“Will you guys also consider releasing the president’s fitness plan?” she asked Leavitt. “He actually looks healthier than ever before. Healthier than he did eight years ago, and I’m sure everybody in this room could agree. Is he working out with Bobby Kennedy? And is he eating less McDonald’s?”

Leavitt smiled and laughed at the question. She then claimed that Trump was indeed in “very good shape.”

“I can confirm the president is in very good shape, as you see, on a near-daily basis here,” Leavitt said. “And in that vein, thank God it’s Friday. It’s been a very long and busy week here at the White House. We will see you all on Monday, and we will release the results of that report as soon as we can. Have a great weekend, everybody. Thank you.”

Just days prior, Castranuova had another brow-raising moment in the briefing room when she asked if the Trump administration was “disappointed” in Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who she claimed was “against January 6th hostages.”
