ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

Donald J. Trump, former President of the United States, posted several statements on his Truth Social account between July 31 and August 1, 2025. The posts addressed topics ranging from physical fitness initiatives to Senate procedures.

On July 31, Trump wrote about the importance of sports and fitness programs: “PRESIDENT’S COUNCIL ON SPORTS, FITNESS, AND NUTRITION, AND THE REESTABLISHMENT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL FITNESS TEST” (posted at 07:26 PM EST).

Later that evening, he called for action from Republican senators regarding pending executive business. On August 1, Trump stated: “The Senate must stay in Session, taking no recess, until the entire Executive Calendar is CLEAR!!! We have to save our Country from the Lunatic Left. Republicans, for the health and safety of the USA, DO YOUR JOB, and confirm” (posted at 09:52 PM EST).

A subsequent post made at nearly the same time included only a link without further commentary: Donald J. Trump Truth Social 07.31.25 09:52 PM EST https://t.co/KuJB1UNq7H.

The President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition was established to promote healthy eating and physical activity among Americans; it has periodically reintroduced national fitness initiatives such as the Presidential Fitness Test throughout its history.

Calls for extended Senate sessions often arise during periods when numerous presidential nominations or legislative items remain unresolved on the Executive Calendar—a list of matters eligible for consideration by the U.S. Senate.
