Wait, WHAT?! Trump, the 'Healthiest Ever,' Admits He 'Probably Should' Take 'Fat Drugs' While Slashing Their Price?!

Donald Trump, self-proclaimed 'healthiest individual,' just hinted he might use 'fat drugs' like Ozempic, all while his administration drastically slashes their prices. Is this real life?

Wait, WHAT?! Trump, the 'Healthiest Ever,' Admits He 'Probably Should' Take 'Fat Drugs' While Slashing Their Price?!

More details:

WTF Just Happened?

Okay, stop the presses! Seriously, what in the actual *hell* is going on?! The one and only Donald J. Trump, the guy who's basically enshrined himself as the "healthiest individual ever elected" to anything, just dropped a bombshell. He admitted, out loud, that he "probably should" consider taking one of those blockbuster weight-loss drugs, you know, the ones he previously dismissed as "the fat drugs"? And get this: his administration just launched a massive deal to make these exact drugs dirt cheap. Is this a joke? Are we being punked?!

Yes, you read that right. The 79-year-old president, famous for his steadfast aversion to treadmills and his love for Diet Cokes and burgers, is now openly pondering a medical solution he once scoffed at. Not only that, but he's also making it super accessible for everyone else. My brain can’t even process this. What is going on?!

Wait, HOW Did This Happen?

So, how did we get here? Well, for starters, Trump's weight has been a, shall we say, "hot topic" for years. Remember when he was 240 pounds in 2023, technically landing him in the obese category? Yeah. Fast forward to April 2025, and apparently, he’s shed 20 pounds, hitting 224 pounds and just barely sliding into the "overweight" bracket. Good for him, I guess?

But here’s the kicker: he still hates exercise. He told the Wall Street Journal that gyms are "boring" and running on a treadmill for hours is "not for me." So, he’s not working out, he’s still chugging Diet Cokes and eating bun-less burgers (a truly groundbreaking health concession, right?), but he’s "health perfect." Uh huh. Sure.

Then comes the plot twist: despite mocking the effectiveness of these very drugs to his "fat" friends (his words!), he’s been secretly orchestrating a plan for months to make Ozempic and Wegovy affordable. In November 2025, the TrumpRx.gov scheme was announced, cutting monthly costs from £1,000 to a mere £270 for cash payers, and even less for Medicare recipients. He’s bypassing insurance, letting people buy directly from manufacturers online. It's a huge pharmaceutical policy shift from the man who couldn't be bothered with a push-up!

Are We Serious Right Now?

Okay, no, but actually HOW? Let’s break down the sheer ridiculousness of this situation:

  • First, the man who consistently touts his "perfect health" and "superior genes" is admitting he "probably should" take a weight-loss drug. The cognitive dissonance is mind-boggling!
  • He openly mocked GLP-1 medications to his own HHS Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., saying they hadn’t "worked so well" for people he knew. Yet, he then turns around and makes them his *domestic legacy*?
  • His entire lifestyle screams "anti-fitness," preferring fast food and golf carts over anything resembling a workout, but now he's the champion of pharmaceutical weight loss.
    "To walk on a treadmill or run on a treadmill for hours and hours like some people do, that's not for me," he declared. But a shot? Maybe!
  • This is the same guy who takes a daily 325mg aspirin to keep his blood "nice and thin." So, an aspirin for thin blood, but a "fat drug" for, what, *thin everything else*? It’s a choose-your-own-adventure health plan, apparently.

It's like a reality TV show where the main character suddenly embraces the very thing they've vehemently opposed. What is the endgame here?!

💡 Why This Is a Big Deal (Unfortunately)

Look, despite the absurdity, this actually *matters*. The TrumpRx.gov deal could radically change access to these popular and expensive weight-loss drugs for millions of Americans. People struggling with obesity, who couldn't afford Ozempic or Wegovy before, might now be able to get them.

This isn't just about his personal potential use; it's a massive shift in healthcare policy that bypasses traditional insurance models. We’re talking about potentially hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people who could be affected by this price slash. It's a game-changer for pharmaceutical companies, too, who are now essentially making direct deals with the government. What kind of precedent does this set? What happens to insurance companies now?

The implications are HUGE, impacting everything from individual health outcomes to the entire pharmaceutical market. It's a policy move that's as loud and unexpected as, well, everything else Trump does. The economy, public health, and how we view medication could all be irreversibly changed. Oh, and imagine the political spin on this one!

So… What Happens Now?

Honestly? Your guess is as good as mine, but buckle up! We’re probably going to see a massive surge in people trying to access these newly affordable drugs. Will we see a sudden national weight loss trend? Will Trump himself mysteriously drop another 20 pounds and attribute it to "superior genetics" or "walking on the green"?

Politically, this is going to be spun in a million different ways. Will it be hailed as a stroke of genius for affordable healthcare, or will critics highlight the hypocrisy of his personal stance versus his policy? Expect endless debates on pharmaceutical regulation, government intervention in drug pricing, and, inevitably, more scrutiny on the President’s own health and diet.

One thing’s for sure: the national conversation about weight, health, and medication is not slowing down. It’s spiraling, actually. We are living in wild times. Is anyone else truly flabbergasted by this all?
