He has famously declared himself the 'healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency', yet Donald Trump has made a rare and candid admission: even he could stand to lose a few pounds. In a striking break from his usual bravado, the 79-year-old president suggested that he might finally be ready to embrace the very medical trend he once mocked.
While he has previously dismissed blockbuster GLP-1 weight-loss medications like Ozempic and Wegovy as 'the fat drugs,' Trump confessed in a recent interview with the New York Times on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2026, that he hasn't ruled them out for himself. 'No, I have not', he replied when asked if he had tried the injections, before adding the surprising caveat: 'I probably should'. The admission came during a wide-ranging two-hour conversation in the Oval Office where he also revealed he takes a daily 325-milligram dose of aspirin to keep his blood 'nice and thin'.
