Social media users were quick to notice something unique about Kelly Loeffler, the head of the Small Business Administration, who was present at a recent White House Cabinet meeting.

Many netizens dubbed her a Melania Trump look-alike, pointing to her similar hairstyle, demeanor and posture during the session.

During the meeting, Loeffler praised President Donald Trump's economic policies, speaking highly of his leadership and the current state of American businesses.

Loeffler stated, "Mr. President, you have made us a nation of builders again. You're leading us to the greatest economy that the world has ever known. And I see that every week as I travel this country, main streets across dozens of states, from Alaska to Maine."

Continuing her praise, she said, "I've been in many of those states two or three times. I hear it everywhere I go -- Please thank the president for putting us back on track."

"They love you [Trump]. They want more of what we're doing: tax cuts, deregulation," Loeffler added.

Her praise for Trump prompted a wave of reactions from social media users.

Many alleged that her effusive comments were intended strictly to secure her position within the administration, while others questioned the accuracy of her claims.

Reacting to the footage o X, one user wrote, "She's only saying this to appease him (and to keep her job)."

An individual commented, "She does not believe a word of what she said but she knows it must be said to please dear leader."

Another stated, "Poor Kelly with her Trump Delusional syndrome."

Donald Trump's Apparent Percentage Error Raises Eyebrows

At the same Cabinet meeting, Trump spoke about healthcare policies and his personal health.

While commenting about his physical fitness and administrative rollouts, he appeared to make a basic mathematical error that quickly caught the attention of reporters and online critics.

During his opening remarks, Trump stumbled over percentages while discussing prescription drug discounts on his website, TrumpRx.gov.

"Anything having to do with medical. Because of drug prices, we're delivering record-setting discounts on prescription drugs with price differences of 400, 500, and even 600 percent at the TrumpRx.gov," he told press and administration officials.

"We recently added nearly 1,000 low-cost generics to the website. So, we have drugs down 400, 500, 600 percent. Now, you could say 80, 90, 70, 60, 50 percent if you want," he added.

However, social media users were quick to mock the statement, with one user pointing out that mathematically, a price reduction cannot exceed 100 percent without the product becoming completely free and the seller paying the consumer.

"The math is not mathing on this one, folks," one user noted.

Donald Trump Says His Medical Evaluation 'Checked out' Perfectly

The president's comments on health comes after his latest trip to the hospital. On Tuesday, May 26,Trump traveled to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a medical checkup, marking his third scheduled health checkup since April 2025.

The Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, May 27, marked his first public appearance since the hospital visit.

The checkup came amid growing public chatter about his health.

"Just finished my 6 month physical at Walter Reed Military Medical Center. Everything checked out PERFECTLY. Thank you to the great Doctors and Staff!" Trump later posted on Truth Social.

CNN's Kaitlan Collins claimed Donald Trump "seeks validation" from the media, despite continuously raging against news networks and reporters, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

During a sit-down with Interview Magazine, Collins suggested the POTUS, 79, was "one way in front of the cameras," but another way entirely "when he's off the record."

'He Has Always Played the Media Game'

"He has always played the media game," she continued. "He used to impersonate someone and call in and speak positively about himself."

Collins was referring to the allegations that Trump used to call in to the media and pretend to be his own spokesperson under names like "John Barron" and "John Miller" in the '80s and '90s. He denied the claims, but "several of Trump's top aides" told The Washington Postotherwise.

"I think his base doesn't always realize he seeks validation from the same mainstream media they all trash," Collins added.

"I think he's always felt the same about coverage, and I think there's a reason he calls reporters or answers their calls," she continued. "He really believes he's his own best spokesperson. The other day he joked—and I say joked because he kind of laughed, but I'm still not sure—about why he gets such bad press coverage."

As Radar previously reported, Trump quipped in March that he had "bad publicity" because White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was "doing a poor job."

Trump Calls Kaitlan Collins 'Corrupt'

As Radar previously reported, Trump recently accused Collins of being "corrupt" and never smiling during a briefing in the Oval Office.

"Never smiles. You never-, she's a young, beautiful woman. Never smiles, I never see a smile off her face, I see her standing there with hatred in her eyes," he said at the time. "She has hatred because we have borders, because we have a strong military, because we cut our taxes, because we do things that everybody wanted. And then we win our election in a massive landslide."

"And that's because we're doing the right job," The 79-year-old insisted. "And we took a detour down to Iran because we can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon under any circumstances. We can't let that happen. So, the reporters should be happy. They shouldn't be unhappy. They should be very happy. Because you know what we're doing? We're saving our country."

Trump's Biting Remarks Toward Female Reporters

This is far from the first time Trump has lashed out at women journalists over the years.

Last November, he infamously called a female journalist "piggy" and told her to be "quiet," while talking with the media aboard Air Force One.

In May, he got into a back-and-forth after a female reporter alleged the price for the White House ballroom project had "doubled," after he insisted they were "under budget."

"I doubled the size of it, you dumb person! Doubled the size," he retorted. "You are not a smart person."

Following Trump’s Abrupt Interview Exit, Health‑Related Observations Surface Among Viewers

On Friday, June 5, President Donald Trump, 79, sat down for a face-to-face conversation in Wisconsin for NBC's Meet the Press with journalist Kristen Welker.

The interaction was cut short as the POTUS abruptly walked out of the interview at around the 40-minute mark, despite Welker pleading with him to stay.

A gesture Trump made while getting up from the chair caught netizens' attention online, and many speculated whether it was connected to his allegedly declining health.

"He did that to get his bearings," one user commented.

The interview with Kristen Welker, which aired on NBC News on Sunday, June 7, saw Donald Trump discuss the economy, the conflict with Iran, and the California gubernatorial race, among other topics.

It was the last subject that led to an outburst from the president and his eventual exit from the interview.

At one point in the interview, while addressing the proposed $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization" fund aimed to pay individuals allegedly wronged by past administrations, Trump brought up the 2020 election, in which Joe Biden was elected the 46th President of the United States.

"The election was rigged. It was a dirty election," Trump said. "It's happening right now in California," he added, referring to the gubernatorial race that will take place on November 3, 2026. "It's four days, and they aren't even close to counting [ballots]."

Welker pointed out that it was standard procedure for California's election process.

Reports on June 5 claimed that Democratic candidate and former Biden health secretary Xavier Becerra had advanced to the General Election with 27.2% of the vote, with Republican candidate Steve Hilton close behind in second place.

"They're crooked, just like you're crooked, your press is crooked. And Meet the Press is crooked," Trump insisted. "You're either crooked or you're stupid. You play right into their hands with this cr*p. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged."

When Welker kept asking for evidence, Trump continued to call the network "crooked" and eventually pulled off his microphone: "Let's call it quits because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time."

Welker requested Trump to continue the interview, reminding him that she had traveled to Wisconsin for it, to which the president said, "I've sat in the rain with you for an hour. On and off in the rain, and I've given you enough time. You oughta straighten out your press."

As Trump got up from his chair, so did Welker, and he briefly touched her shoulder with his right hand before walking off the camera.

Welker later said during the broadcast of the interview that President Trump "acknowledged the complications during the interview posed by the rain," and that he had agreed to sit down for another Meet the Press episode with her.

One user praised Trump's gesture on social media, applauding him for "consoling" Welker despite their disagreements. However, many others thought that the POTUS held on to the journalist for support because he had difficulty standing up from the chair.

"This isn't a 'pure heart' moment, it's an old man steadying himself so he doesn't topple over after storming out mid-interview," one user said. Another wrote, "He couldn't stand up!"

"He could barely get up and walk," wrote a third. A fourth voice said, "I think he put his hand on his shoulder because he couldn't get to his feet on his own."

"He was clearly starting to stumble, and he grabbed her to stabilize himself," commented one more.

These speculations arise amid existing concerns over Donald Trump's mental and physical acumen, and whether, as the oldest-ever person to get elected to the Oval Office, he is fit enough to preside over the United States.

The White House's latest health report on Donald Trump raised suspicion about transparency

In recent years, critics have pointed to Donald Trump's verbal gaffes during speeches, moments of confusion over names, dates, or locations, occasional stumbles while walking, and instances in which he seemed to lose his train of thought, leading to arguments about his cognitive and physical fitness.

Dr. Henry David Abraham, a professor of psychiatry, said in May 2026 that Trump's "linguistic failings" and "poor impulse control" were "red flags" and possible signs of dementia: "This is not normal. This is dangerous. And worse, this is a man who has access to nuclear weapons."

Clinical psychiatrists and psychologists, including his own niece, Mary L. Trump, have floated the possibility of him having multiple mental health issues, including narcissistic personality disorder. Physically, observers have also noted bruising on his hands, swelling in his lower legs, and occasional gait stiffness.

After Trump was seen sitting with his eyes closed for extended periods during a June 4 Oval Office press briefing, Adam James, a physical therapist with 14 years of professional experience, claimed that he may have suffered a stroke on national television.

On May 29, the White House released a three-page health report after Trump underwent a full medical checkup at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, three days earlier.

The report, written by Trump's current physician, Capt. Sean P. Barbabella, claimed that Trump's blood work and cognitive assessment tests showed no anomalies.

The bruising on the back of Trump's hands was labeled as "minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking". It was called a "benign effect" of aspirin, which he takes for cardiovascular prevention.

The report also listed rosuvastatin and ezetimibe under his current medications, both for cholesterol control, but left out finasteride, an anti-hair loss pill that he used to take during his first term in office, according to his late personal physician Harold Bornstein's 2016 statement.

The White House's refusal to reveal details about the alopecia medication made some medical experts suspicious about an alleged lack of transparency, especially since it has been linked to a potential marker of prostate cancer.

"It raises significant questions of what else is possibly not being revealed," said Robert Klitzman, a psychiatrist leading Columbia University's bioethics master's program, and this was supported by bioethics researchers Arthur Caplan and Steve Joffe.

"So unprofessional." Netizens weighed in after US President Donald Trump stormed out of an interview

Jimmy Kimmel mocks Trump storming out of interview with president in diaper image: ‘Trumper tantrum’

Jimmy Kimmel depicted Donald Trump in a diaper after the president stormed out of an interview last week, an episode the late-night host labeled a "hissy fit."

During a wide-ranging on-camera interview with NBC News Fridayin Wisconsin, host Kristen Welker pressed Trump on his claims that California elections are "crooked" and riddled with Democratic "cheating."

When the journalist asked the president to provide evidence for his claims, the exchange quickly unraveled. Trump told Welker "you're either crooked or you're stupid," before tearing off his microphone and walking off set.

Kimmel played a clip of the confrontation for his Jimmy Kimmel Live audience Monday and joked: "This is why he mostly dated women that don't speak English."

"I don't know if he was worried about the cotton candy on his head getting wet or he just didn't like the fact that he was being taken to task by a woman," Kimmel continued. "Either way, their talk ended in a full blown Trumper tantrum."

The comedian then proceeded to air another clip from the Meet the Press sit-down — this time, with a few modifications.

"You're crooked, and the press is crooked, and so is ABC, and CBS and CNN. You're one-sided, crooked networks…Right, let's call it quits," Trump says in the clip. The camera then cuts to a wider shot, depicting the 79-year-old president without trousers, wearing a seemingly soiled diaper as he stands up and traipses off camera.

"When that dinner bell rings, he's gone," Kimmel joked. "Can you imagine any other president in the history of any other place doing that? That was a hissy fit."

White House spokesperson Davis Ingle dismissed the comedian's commentary.

"Nobody in their right mind cares what seriously unfunny Jimmy Kimmel thinks," Ingle told The Independent.

Shortly after the NBC interview, recorded in a Wisconsin barn, Trump told a crowd of supporters that he became upset on account of the weather.

"It was raining. And it was with NBC fake news," the president said. "And because it was raining, I got a little bit angry at them. I was not happy with them. But we had a good time."

Kimmel and Trump have traded barbs for years. Trump has repeatedly dismissed the late-night host as "seriously unfunny," and called for him to be taken off the air.

In April, Trump complained about a segment of Kimmel's monologue in which the host joked that First Lady Melania Trump had the glow of "an expectant widow." Trump condemned the remark as a "despicable call to violence" and said it was "far beyond the pale."

Tensions between Jimmy Kimmel Live and the administration boiled over in September, when ABC News suspended the show following criticism from conservatives and administration officials over Kimmel's comments about the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was shot dead on a college campus.

Following widespread backlash, ABC News announced days later that the show would resume production.
