MAHA press conference hits new level of quackery

It's nice when your ringtone fits the public perception of you.

President Donald Trump’s Make America Healthy Again Cabinet held a press conference to announce the 2025-2030 U.S. Dietary Guidelines on Wednesday. The event was led by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins. 

During the Q&A, Kennedy Jr.'s cell phone began ringing—or, more accurately, quacking. Apparently, the famous medical quack has a ringtone that sounds like a duck. 

“Duck is also high in protein,” Rollins joked.

It is hard not to see the irony of a quack speaking while quacking sounds come from his pocket but it might be better to file this under “pitiful.”
