Overview
- At a White House press conference unveiling his "Great Health Care Plan," President Trump said a "friend" had taken the weight-loss drug Ozempic.
- He described the person as "very fat" and said "he can't walk across the street" while calling him a powerful and successful businessman.
- Trump said the friend reported paying more than $1,000 for Ozempic in New York but roughly $87–$88 in London.
- He added that the medication "did not work" on the friend and remarked that the issue had bothered him "for a long time."
- Users on Bluesky and elsewhere claimed the comments implied Trump's own use, but the article states there is no reporting confirming that.
