In addition to reintroducing the fitness test, Trump’s executive order will also expand the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition. During Thursday’s event, Butker said he was “obviously very excited to be here” and thanked Trump for “allowing me to serve on the council.” The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for confirmation on Trump’s height.
