Trump Brings Back Brutal School Fitness Test Banned by Obama — Kids Face Push-ups, Mile Runs & More!

President Donald Trump has officially brought back the original Presidential Fitness Test for American public schools. The test, which includes pull-ups, push-ups, a one-mile run, a shuttle run, and flexibility drills, was discontinued in 2012 by President Obama in favor of a less intense health-focused program. Now, over a decade later, Trump says it's time to "make America fit again" — but not everyone agrees. Is this a return to discipline — or outdated physical pressure for kids? We break it all down. #Trump #PresidentialFitnessTest #SchoolFitness #GymClass #EducationPolicy #Obama #ExecutiveOrder #Politics #BreakingNews #FitnessTest #MakeAmericaFitAgain #USSchools ~HT.410~PR.274~GR.122~ED.103~

Trump SUFFERS Big after Links with Epstein REVEALED | Trump’s Approval ratings fall to a new low

Donald Trump’s approval ratings have hit a second-term low across major polls. Reuters/Ipsos shows just 40% support, while Gallup reports 37%. Even traditionally favorable outlets like Fox News show net disapproval. Swing states such as Florida, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin report negative ratings, with Trump underwater in 13 of 31 states he won in 2024. Key issues include dissatisfaction over his tariff policies and handling of the Epstein case. Voters give him mixed marks on the economy and immigration. #TrumpApproval #2025Polls #DisapprovalSurge #SwingStatesShift #TrumpUnderwater #ElectionWatch #GOPWoes #TariffBacklash #EpsteinControversy #MidtermMomentum #PollTrends #PoliticalTurbulence #TrumpRatings #PublicOpinion #PresidentialApproval #RedStateBlues #TrumpVsVoters #SecondTermStruggles #TrumpControversies #USPolitics #GallupPoll #FoxNewsPoll #ReutersIpsos #SwingStateWatch #BreakingPolls #VoterBacklash Also Read US Prez Trump Announces New US Tariffs - Full List of Affected Nations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-prez-trump-announces-new-us-tariffs-full-list-of-affected-nations-011-7817571.html?ref=DMDesc They Can Take Their Dead Economies Down Together: Donald Trump Slams India, Russia :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/they-can-take-their-dead-economies-down-together-donald-trump-slams-india-russia-7816541.html?ref=DMDesc After Tariffs, Trump Administration Sanctions 6 Indian Companies For Trading With Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/after-tariffs-trump-administration-sanctions-6-indian-companies-for-trading-with-iran-011-7816493.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.122~
