"Trump followed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's address to military leaders Tuesday morning with a lengthy speech that featured several bonkers moments and characteristic deviations and which lasted well over an hour. That performance put Trump behind schedule for an Oval Office photo op in which he announced a deal with Pfizer to lower the cost of certain prescription drugs. Following the announcement, Trump took questions from reporters."
"PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: But after they explained, and they didn't really explain to him because he was not capable really of understanding, but when they went out and talked about it, they acted like it was a great feat, but it had nothing to do with him. And it continues, and we'll get it down even further. But insulin was, people weren't taking it, I would imagine. RFK JR.: (COUGH)."
President Donald Trump held a lengthy Oval Office speech after Pete Hegseth's address, which ran well over an hour and delayed a scheduled photo op announcing a Pfizer prescription-drug-cost deal. After announcing the deal, Trump took reporters' questions and made claims about lowering insulin prices, then reacted when Robert F. Kennedy Jr. coughed. Trump joked that he hoped he had not caught COVID and demanded Paxlovid while reporters and officials laughed. Trump previously contracted COVID-19 during the 2020 campaign amid misleading medical briefings, and later revelations showed he tested positive earlier than announced and knew he was infected during the presidential debate.
