Trump Gives Odd Compliment to Chiefs Kicker Butker at White House

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker was present at the White House as President Donald Trump signed an executive order to reinstate the traditional Presidential Fitness Test, a program originally launched in 1966 and altered in 2012. Trump expressed strong support for the initiative, emphasizing the importance of ensuring future generations are strong and healthy, and announced the revitalization of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, of which Butker will be a member. During the ceremony, Trump made an unusual compliment about Butker's appearance, calling him a "handsome guy," which quickly went viral. Butker, known for his clutch field goals, has also attracted controversy for his conservative views, including comments about women's roles and support for Trump's pro-life campaign, which have polarized fans and social media. Despite the backlash, Butker remains publicly aligned with Trump and is actively involved in the administration's fitness and health initiatives. Alongside other prominent figures like NFL Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor and WWE Superstar Triple H, Butker is expected to play a significant role in promoting the renewed fitness program.
