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."

Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove brought an enlarged photo of Donald Trump seemingly asleep in a meeting to the House floor on Wednesday, June 10, arguing that the president dozing off on the job is a "grave national security threat."

She also called out White House officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, for lying about Trump's health and his alleged habit of nodding off in meetings.

"Mr. Speaker, I rise today to sound the alarm about a grave national security threat, Donald Trump's sleeping habits," Kamlager-Dove began. "I know we have rules about decorum, so I will stick to the facts, because this is, in fact, a serious matter of oversight, transparency and national security."

She went on to claim that Trump has repeatedly been caught drifting off during public appearances. "In meeting after meeting, Donald Trump has fallen asleep in public, on camera, in broad daylight, when people lavish praise on him," she said.

"We cannot trust the White House on matters concerning the president's health because they are denying what Americans are seeing with our own two eyes," she added.

Marco Rubio pushes back

Kamlager-Dove then played a clip of Rubio being questioned under oath last week about whether Trump had been falling asleep during Cabinet meetings.

"I've never seen him fall asleep," the secretary of state said. "On the contrary, the guy doesn't sleep, which is a big problem."

Rubio told lawmakers that Trump regularly calls him at 2 and 5 in the morning. He added that the president was in the Oval Office until 12:30 a.m. on a recent evening. The late-night calls are an issue for him, Rubio said, because he prefers at least six hours of sleep.

'Asleep at the wheel'

Kamlager-Dove questioned whether Trump had been dozing off during negotiations with international leaders or other important meetings.

"We cannot have a president asleep on the job. Is he sleeping in classified briefings, on calls with foreign leaders? How can we trust a president who is literally asleep at the wheel to make informed decisions about national security?" she asked.

She also pointed to an April YouGov poll showing nearly half of Americans believe Trump is experiencing some degree of "cognitive decline" and argued his recent behavior reinforces those concerns.

"He is posting AI on Truth Social at ungodly hours of the night. He is hyper-fixated on his billion-dollar ballroom and a $1.8 billion slush fund for political allies instead of ending his war of choice on Iran and lowering costs for Americans," Kamlager-Dove continued.

"Sadly, the White House has repeatedly failed to be transparent with the American people about the president's health," she added.

Kamlager-Dove's speech came just days after Trump appeared to fall asleep at the NBA Finals on Monday, June 8. Video began circulating showing the president closing his eyes for a prolonged period while seated next to his granddaughter Kai Trump and Knicks owner James Dolan.

Responding to the viral clip, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrote, "WAKE TF UP." Others on social media were just as startled. "Legit offensive and inhuman," political columnist and podcaster Adam Johnson posted.

"He cost tax payers millions of dollars to sleep through the entire game," another social media user wrote.

Trump's appearance at Madison Square Garden came with increased security measures, including restricted access to the surrounding area and nearby businesses.

CNN's Kaitlan Collins Theorizes That Trump Keeps Insulting Her Because 'He Doesn't Like My Questions'

NEED TO KNOW

  • Kaitlan Collins believes President Donald Trump criticizes her because of her tough questions, not for personal reasons

  • Trump has repeatedly targeted the CNN journalist, calling her a "corrupt reporter" and claiming she has "hatred in her eyes"

  • Maria Shriver criticized Trump for using derogatory language toward female reporters, calling his behavior "childlike"

Kaitlan Collins is responding to President Donald Trump's fierce criticism of her questioning.

In an April interview with Interview Magazine published on Wednesday, June 10, New York Times White House correspondent Shawn McCreesh asked Collins, 34, if she thinks Trump is particularly harsh on female reporters. Collins, CNN's chief White House correspondent, has been the subject of many of the president's recent tirades.

"I think it's because he doesn't like my questions in the briefing room. I don't think it's a personal reflection," Collins told McCreesh. "I do think that this term, people have started to notice the difference in his reaction when women like Mary Bruce or Nancy Cordes are doing the questioning."

"When I asked him about [Jeffrey] Epstein in the Oval Office, he said, 'In the 10 years you've covered me, I've never seen you smile,' " she continued, referring to a Feb. 3 incident in the Oval Office. "He wasn't even really listening to the question."

Since the interview, Trump has continued to target Collins in press circles. On June 3, he claimed Collins had "hatred in her eyes" during a briefing.

"CNN's a very corrupt organization, with a corrupt reporter standing right there, never smiles," Trump said, gesturing to Collins. "She never... a young beautiful woman [who] never smiles. I never see a smile off her face. I see her standing there with hatred in her eyes."

McCreesh asked Collins if she knew what set Trump off, but she didn't know. However, she feels it's her job to ask the tough questions, regardless of the obstacles she may face.

"I do think he's very much someone who is one way in front of the cameras and another when he's off the record," she said. "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. He said, 'Maybe it's because of my people.'"

Collins is not the only female journalist targeted by Trump's ire. In November 2025, he referred to Bloomberg News White House correspondent Catherine Lucey as "piggy," which garnered some of his fiercest backlash.

"It feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for," journalist Maria Shriver wrote on X after Trump stormed out of an interview with Meet the Press' Kristen Welker. "I've never witnessed someone like this raging."
