U.S. President Donald Trump was labeled a “toddler” after a signing ceremony in the Oval Office on Wednesday.
Talking about whole milk, Trump clarified the spelling of the word “whole.”
“It’s actually a legal definition — ‘whole milk,’” Trump said, adding, “and it’s whole with a W for those of you that have a problem.”
- Trump signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, allowing whole and 2% milk in schools, reversing Obama's low-fat milk mandate.
- Trump clarified the spelling of "whole," as having a "w," leading to widespread social media mockery.
- The new dietary guidelines under RFK Jr. emphasize proteins, dairy, and healthy fats, ending the 'war on saturated fats.'
- Social media users ridiculed Trump for his spelling clarification and compared him to a bossy child or toddler.

Netizens mercilessly mocked the president for his obvious spell check. “How much do you want to bet HE didn’t know it started with a w…,” wrote one user on X.
Another wrote sarcastically, “Read it and weep leftists, your woke attempts to remove the W (which stands for WHITE) from ‘whole milk’ have failed.”

“You know he probably didn’t know that’s how it was spelled. He always tells on himself,” wrote a third user.
The user also shared a meme caricature of Trump wearing a cap, saying, “Dunce in Chief,” instead of Commander in Chief. The caricature also holds a board with “Executive order: Leave edumaction to the state,” written on it, with education spelled incorrectly.

An X user joked, “Phew. Glad he clarified that. Hole milk, when consumed in large quantities, transports it’s consumer through a wormhole.” Another said, “next up the k in knife.”
One person wrote, “We have a toddler for President,” while another compared Trump’s talking to their “bossy 12-year-old niece.”

Some commenters were more scathing: “Absolutely nobody was thinking about hole milk until you brought it up dude,” and “Can someone please get Pap Pap back to the nursing home.”

One user said, “thank you for clarifying that you weren’t saying hole milk mr president.”
Trump signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act. The bill allows schools to offer whole milk and 2% milk, reversing the Obama-era policy that only permitted low-fat milk options.
The bill was unanimously enacted by both congressional houses and follows the introduction of new dietary guidelines by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Trump, who was caught resting his eyes during the ceremony, also promoted milk’s benefits, claiming it helped him “ace” multiple cognitive tests. “I’ve taken a lot of them,” Trump said. “I’ve aced every one of them because I drink milk.”

This was not the first time Trump has been seen resting during official events. While his health has drawn public attention, both the president and his doctors insist he is in “excellent” health.
The Trump administration’s new dietary guidelines, released on Jan. 7, introduced an inverted pyramid emphasizing “protein, dairy, and healthy fats” and “vegetables and fruits” at the top.
“We are ending the war on saturated fats,” RFK Jr. said under the “Make America Healthy Again” campaign, which will shape the meals served to millions of people in schools, prisons, and on military bases.
The bill applies to schools under the National School Lunch Program, allowing them to offer students whole milk or non-dairy beverages “nutritionally equivalent” to milk. The program serves meals to almost 30 million students.

Former President Barack Obama introduced the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act in 2010, in an effort to reduce juvenile obesity. It mandated that schools serve only reduced-fat milk.
The act had been deemed successful by the Food Research & Action Center, a privately funded organization focused on improving the nutrition and health of Americans.
However, the Trump administration deemed it a “failed Obama policy.”
“President Trump will sign into law a fix to the failed Obama policy that foolishly banned whole milk from public schools and barred children from the essential nutrients needed to grow, learn, and stay healthy,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said at the signing of the bill.
“This is common sense and great news for America’s children, dairy farmers, and parents who deserve choice, not big government mandates.”
