The day I went to the White House to interview President Trump, Democrats launched another fake rumor campaign about his health.<\/p>\n

Read more I stood up to Zohran Mamdani\u2019s rabid thug \u2014 and you can, too<\/a><\/p>\n

First, bots fanned out on social media with lies that the president hadn\u2019t been seen for \u201ceight days\u201d and had suffered a \u201cstroke.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), the designated hit man on the House Foreign Relations Committee, spent almost six minutes of valuable hearing time on Wednesday \u201cgrilling\u201d Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the president\u2019s \u201chealth and cognitive abilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

It really is chutzpah for the Biden Democrats to accuse the hardest-working, most energetic president of his generation of ill health in the very week that Jill Biden told \u00adeveryone she thought Joe was having a \u201cstroke\u201d in his catastrophic debate against Trump last year.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m sorry to inform the ghouls that I spent an hour with the president Tuesday for an interview on Pod Force One, and he is more alert and focused than I have ever seen him.<\/p>\n

He was full of bonhomie when he burst into the Roosevelt Room a few minutes early with a guest in tow \u2014 Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA, with whom he had just had a meeting in the Oval Office, since it was nine days before the start of the biggest World Cup soccer tournaments in history.<\/p>\n

He introduced Infantino, and we chatted about soccer, with the sports-loving president prompting the urbane Swiss-Italian for facts and figures \u2014 104 games, 6 billion viewers and, unmentioned, tens of billions of dollars of additional economic activity for the US.<\/p>\n

Before the cameras rolled, Trump asked if I had seen the gigantic UFC arena currently being built on the South Lawn of the White House for the UFC Freedom 250 fight card on June 14, 2026, after which he jets off at midnight to the G7 in France.<\/p>\n

Beautification project<\/h2>\n

He was equally proud of his beautification of the nation\u2019s capital, which is also impossible to miss.<\/p>\n

About 30 fountains and landmarks such as the Lincoln Memorial and the Reflecting Pool have been cleaned and refurbished, \u00adUnion Station is gleaming, homeless encampments cleared away.<\/p>\n

Trump deserves to boast because the nation\u2019s capital is sparkling just in time for America\u2019s 250th-anniversary celebrations.<\/p>\n

There should be bipartisan \u00adrejoicing, but when it comes to Trump, his detractors will never concede an ounce of goodness.<\/p>\n

The president keeps all these beautification projects in his head, along with detailed plans for the new ballroom and its embedded suite of high-tech national security measures, most deep underground, all of it of benefit mostly to his successors.<\/p>\n

While managing two wars and a $30 trillion economy, serving as commander in chief of the world\u2019s most powerful military, keeping 340 million people safe and secure, negotiating with foreign leaders, shaping trade and energy policy, appointing judges, serving as commander-in-chief of the world\u2019s most powerful military, guiding his Cabinet, writing executive orders, cajoling members of Congress to progress his agenda, planning events for America\u2019s 250, involving himself in the minutiae of Republican politics, endorsing candidates, answering his cellphone to all comers at all hours, writing his own pithy Truth Social posts that move markets and message world leaders, critiquing the on-camera performance of his team, closely observing their interpersonal relations in meetings, keeping up his golf game, maintaining a vibrant family life, and who knows what else, he still makes time to answer questions from reporters.<\/p>\n
