Donald Trump Says His Friend Got Fatter After Taking Ozempic

Donald Trump says Ozempic ain’t the wonder-drug you might’ve heard many call it … because he swears he has a friend who gained weight while taking the notorious weight-loss med.

POTUS attended a meeting on Capitol Hill Friday about health care and drug costs … and, he launched into a bizarre story about a friend of his — who he said is a “very smart guy, very, very rich and and a very powerful man actually, but he’s very fat.”

He explains this man goes to London for business quite often … and, after running into one another recently, he complained to the prez that Ozempic costs $1,300 in New York City — but just $87 across the pond.

Same drug, same manufacturer … vastly different cost — which is actually a helpful anecdote for Trump to explain he wants to cut the costs of drugs.

However, he doesn’t immediately say that … instead, he tells the crowd he told his friend he couldn’t tell the guy was on Ozempic — claiming he told him the drug wasn’t working because he’s “actually fatter than ever.”

President Trump has regularly talked about bringing down the cost of GLP-1 drugs from more than $1,000 a month to somewhere in the $250 to $400 range. This will help out a number of celebs like Oprah, Rebel Wilson, Chrissy Teigen, Meghan Trainor, and more stars who have admitted to using weight-loss drugs.
