White House Reporter Sparks Laughter with Comments on Donald Trump’s Health at Press Briefing
A LindellTV White House correspondent, known for her past career in fitness training, injected humor into a recent press briefing by playfully commenting on former President Donald Trump’s physical condition. Her remarks, delivered during a question to Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt regarding Trump’s annual health examination, drew chuckles from those present and quickly became a talking point in political circles.
Inquiry about Trump’s Physical Fitness
The exchange occurred during a daily White House press briefing when reporters were questioning Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about the President’s scheduled yearly physical. Another journalist had previously inquired about the possibility of anesthesia or serious procedures during the examination. Leavitt clarified that Trump was only undergoing ‘a few’ routine tests and pledged to release a summary of the results promptly. She confirmed the White House would disclose the full results before calling on Cara Castronuova.
Reporter’s Lighthearted Remarks
Cara Castronuova, a reporter for LindellTV, followed up by asking if the White House would consider releasing the president’s fitness regimen. She then remarked, “He actually looks healthier than ever before,” prompting a smile from Leavitt. Castronuova, who previously appeared as a fitness expert on television and is a former amateur boxer, continued, “[He looks] healthier than he did eight years ago. And I’m sure everybody in this room could agree.”
Humorous Questions Elicit Laughter
Adding to the lighthearted tone, the correspondent then jokingly questioned, “Is he working out with Bobby Kennedy? And is he eating less McDonald’s?” This query caused widespread laughter in the press briefing room.
Press Secretary’s Response
In response to the reporter’s playful inquiries, Press Secretary Leavitt stated, “I can confirm that the president is in very good shape, as you see on a near-daily basis here.” She notably did not address the humorous questions about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or dietary habits.

Cara Castronuova’s Background
Cara Castronuova’s background includes a career as a fitness trainer, including an appearance on the reality show The Biggest Loser. She transitioned into journalism and was appointed LindellTV’s Chief White House Correspondent in January of last year.
LindellTV’s White House Presence
LindellTV, a conservative online broadcasting network founded by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell in April 2021, secured access to the White House press briefing room in February. The platform features personalities such as Rudy Giuliani and Lou Dobbs, each hosting their own shows.
LindellTV’s Stance and Controversies
Mike Lindell has publicly hailed the network’s White House access as “game-changing.” Mike Lindell Media Corp., LindellTV’s parent company, promotes its broadcasts as an alternative media source prioritizing free speech. However, Lindell is currently facing defamation lawsuits related to his claims about the 2020 election results.
Castronuova’s Prior White House Question
Prior to this humorous exchange, Castronuova marked her debut in the White House press briefing room on February 13th by posing a supportive question to Health Secretary Xavier Becerra, then referred to as RFK in the original article, which seemed unrelated to health or fitness matters. Instead, her initial question focused on criticism from Democrats regarding Becerra’s appointment.
President’s Physical Examination
President Trump’s annual physical examination took place at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The results of the examination are anticipated to be released publicly.
