Bizarre airport press conference features pull-ups competition between Trump administration Cabinet members
Watch Trump allies do pull-ups as they announce $1B airport investment
- Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced $1 billion in grant money for airports, aimed at making air travel healthier and more pleasant.
- The grants are designed to fund various initiatives, including workout areas, children's play zones, and improved nursing pods for mothers.
- The press conference was largely overshadowed by a pull-up contest between Duffy and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary, which Kennedy, aged 71, won.
- Other speakers, including Paul Saladino and Isabel Brown, advocated for ideas such as airport mini-gyms and better breastfeeding facilities, with Brown making a controversial comment about men breastfeeding.
- Critics questioned the event's focus, noting it did not address pressing issues like air traffic controller shortages or the high cost of airport food.
