Social media pounced on the Donald Trump Ozempic rumors. “If US banned preservatives, trump’s fav McDonald’s would implode and Trump could get off ozempic,” a commenter posted on X, formerly Twitter. “The projection never ends. Especially since it’s been a well known thing for years that Trump takes anphetimines [sic] and now ozempic,” another alleged while defending Hunter Biden from allegations of drug use. Meanwhile, a third user went straight in for the kill. “Trump is on Ozempic. He’s got the early droop face,” they claimed.
Technically, Trump is open about his weight. However, the pounds he admits to vary depending on the date and circumstances, so his numbers have some credibility issues. As for Trump’s sudden slimdown, he claimed it was simply because of a reduced calorie intake, insisting that his busy workload — or all his time in courtrooms — impeded less essential things like eating.
“I haven’t seen you in a while. You look like you’re in fighting shape! How much weight did you lose?” Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade gushed to Trump during an interview on his private jet in January 2024 (via Daily Beast). “Maybe 15, maybe 20,” Trump said before insisting he’d dropped the pounds because he works too hard. The former president claimed his packed schedule left him little time to eat. “I’m not able to sit down and eat like a person like you,” Trump explained. “You can sit down and eat. Me, it’s a little bit tougher.”
