The next phase of the New American Golden Age was unveiled today, as President Donald Trump signed an executive order re-establishing the Presidential Fitness Test.
This was good news, but the real fun was seeing who Trump tapped to join the team…
Trump's all-star team on the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition includes, among others, pro golfers Bryson DeChambeau and Annika Sörenstam, Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor, current NFL kicker Harrison Butker, and… WWE executive Paul Levesque (aka Triple H).
That Trumpian level of awesomeness aside, the president's agenda of reinstituting physical fitness standards for America's youth is admirable.
RFK had some words (and a little history):
The fitness test was a mainstay in American schools from its initial introduction in 1956 until 2012, when Barack Obama scaled back "athletic performance" as a measuring stick in student health. Now, it's back.
The New York Post has more on the story:
'We have an opportunity… to literally change the fabric of kids' lives,' DeChambeau, a two-time major winner and frequent Trump golfing partner, said.
At one point, Trump grabbed ahold of 56-year-old Triple H's bicep and noted: 'He is still very strong. He's a strong guy.'
Triple H, now a WWE executive, noted that health, fitness, sports, and nutrition 'has been such an important part of my life' since his teenage years.
'I think learning that at a young age sets you up for success in life,' the 14-time WWE champion said. 'And without it, you're at a lesser place for it. So I look forward to the opportunity to do this.'
Of course, a Triple H appearance at the White House wouldn't be complete without some WWE-style over-the-top theatrics:
Thankfully, he was wearing a suit and not his WWE underwear.
This made my day, so I'll leave it right here:
