Today’s Big Story…

President Trump addressed the media reports concerning U.S. tariffs on Chinese high-tech products — Trump denied there are any exemptions. Over the weekend, on Truth Social, he wrote, “Nobody is getting ‘off the hook”, and singled out China. He confirmed that Chinese products remain under the existing fentanyl-related tariffs and have just been reassigned to a different category.

Customs and Border Protection announced a temporary exemption from Trump's reciprocal tariffs for smartphones, laptops, and other high-tech items originating from China. While the tech industry welcomed the move, Trump officials emphasized that the pause is part of a planned review of the national security risks of semiconductor imports.

Another Big Story…

President Trump “remains in excellent health,” according to White House physician Navy Capt. Sean P. Barbabella, following his annual physical at Walter Reed. The exam included lab tests and consultations with 14 specialists, confirming strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function. The report listed Trump’s vitals as 6'3" tall, 224 pounds, resting heart rate of 62, blood pressure 128/74, oxygen level at 99%, and a temperature of 98.6°F. No major issues were found, though the physician noted scarring on his right ear from a past gunshot wound.

Trump’s lifelong abstinence from tobacco and alcohol was highlighted in the report. He also takes four medications: Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe for cholesterol, aspirin for heart health, and Mometasone cream for a skin condition. Neurological tests showed no signs of depression, anxiety, or cognitive issues. He scored a perfect 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).

My Thoughts…

At near 80, to have a BP of 128/74 is incredible. Trump’s report makes him appear as an Olympian God compared to Sleepy Joe. Plus, we never did get that cognitive test from Biden.
