Stolz then stood and presented Trump with what appeared to be an Olympic gold medal, laying it around the president’s neck.“I’m keeping it!” Trump joked to the crowd as he sat back down. “I’m keeping it, Jordan, I’m not giving it back. I’m a very good guy for keeping gold. I like gold. I’m never giving this back — congratulations.”“I forgot to touch his leg. I didn’t want to do that. But I can tell you one thing: His leg is like a rock,” Trump said. “Two gold medals, wow.”The president has something of a habit of commenting on physically fit male bodies around him. He introduced the man sitting next to him, former NFL linebacker Joe Thomas, as “one hell of a physical specimen.”“I thought I was big until I met you, Joe,” Trump said. Later, he added: "Look at the size of this guy! Boy oh boy ... he's a good-looking man."Friday's event was also, somehow, not the first time an Olympian has presented Trump with a medal. Earlier this year, bobsledder Kaillie Humphries gave the president an Order of Ikkos medal, an honorary award athletes give to influential mentors.Trump To Farmers: 'Your Life Is Much Better Than My Life'President Donald Trump told a group of farmers at an agricultural roundtable in Wisconsin that they have better lives than him."People that are on farms love being on farms," Trump said.

And it was with, uh NBC fake news, and because it was raining I got a little bit angry at them.

Trump Doesn’t Care You Can’t Afford NBA Tickets: ‘That’s The Way Life Is’President Donald Trump is planning to attend Game 3 of the NBA finals, tickets for which are selling for upwards of $8,000.

"It's a great honor to have helped from the standpoint of encouragement," Trump said, without elaborating on what constituted "encouragement." During his second term, Trump has explicitly called for the prosecution of his political enemies, a number of whom have faced federal criminal charges."I looked at John Bolton as somebody that was a very dishonest guy and not a smart guy," Trump told reporters on Friday. "I guess he's paying the price for certainly being dishonest." When asked about his reaction to the expected plea deal, Trump launched into a tirade about his experience working with Bolton for a year during his first term."He wanted to go to war with anybody that opened their mouth," he said. "He always wanted to kill people in war. And that was OK for me as long as I didn't listen to him, and I didn't."In October, Bolton was indicted on 18 counts of either retaining or disseminating classified information for allegedly keeping diary-like entires from Trump’s first term at his Maryland home.He's expected to plead guilty to a single count of retaining classified information and has agreed to pay $2.25 million in legal fines as part of the agreement. He faces a possible sentence of probation or up to 5 years in prison.

"You know, today I looked at $96 a barrel, people thought it was going to be $300 a barrel. And in the meantime, we're having great success with Iran. They're not gonna have a nuclear weapon. And they're in no position to have a nuclear weapon."Oil prices rose on Friday.Putin Rejects Zelenskyy's Offer To Meet, Saying He Sees 'No Point' In ItRussian President Vladimir Putin on Friday rejected a proposal by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a face-to-face meeting on the 4-year-old conflict, saying he sees “no point” in it.Thursday’s letter, the first public message Zelenskyy has written directly to Putin since Russia sent troops into Ukraine in 2022, was a sweeping critique of the Russian leader’s 26 years in power as well as some taunts about his age.Read more, via the Associated Press:Remaining '60 Minutes' Stars Say They’ll Stay — But Warn Against Newsroom 'Dictatorships'The three remaining correspondents at “60 Minutes” told colleagues in a letter Friday they intend to stay on at the storied news program, but not without getting in a couple shots at CBS leadership first."Newsrooms are not supposed to be run like dictatorships," Lesley Stahl, Bill Whitaker And Jon Wertheim jointly wrote in the letter."Collaboration and argument are the way we have always worked at 60."The trio emphasized that their remaining at the show is not "an endorsement of the existing power structure.""Here's why we're staying: We don't want to see 60 Minutes die," they said."If we can continue doing the work that made this show what it is — committing acts of independent, fearless journalism and storytelling — we're here for it. If not, we leave."The decision follows a bloodbath at the program.
