MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. recently visited Austin, Texas. The trip at the end of February was part of his "Take Back Your Health" tour.

During the trip, RFK Jr. spoke at a Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) "Eat Real Food" rally at the Brazos Center. He also visited Cunningham Elementary School to discuss the nutrition of their school food program, and ate at Terry Black's BBQ to promote his red meat-heavy dietary recommendations.

Kennedy also took some time to go work out at a local gym. Which is how two people found themselves on Stairmasters on either side of RFK Jr. in an Austin, Texas, Gold's Gym.

Denisce Palacios (@deniscepalacios) shared her experience through a video she posted on her social media accounts, including TikTok and Instagram.

thought I was hallucinating when RFK walked up to me & I stairmaxxed him (i was suffering) #austin #lockedin #stairmaxxed

Her caption read:

"thought I was hallucinating when Sec. RFK walked up to me and I stairmaxxed him (I was suffering)"

Text on the video read:

"RFK [Jr.] is on a stair master next to me I've never been so determined to stay on this thing in my life."
"I had been on this stupid torture machine for maybe 10 min when he walked up and got on the stairmaster next to me. I was about to pass out and thought I was hallucinating. I locked in out of spite."

She concluded with a shot of her machine showing 31 minutes:

"He didn't even hit 12 minutes. I outlasted RFK."
"Denisce: 1. Fascists: 0."

A second video was posted by a gentleman on RFK Jr.'s other side.

El Xavi Papi (@elxavipapi) also posted on Instagram and TikTok with the caption:

"This wasn't on my bingo card"

These aren't the first awkward RFK Jr. workout videos to emerge.

Trump's HHS Secretary has hit the gym to show off Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's poor form and worked out in a sauna with Turning Point USA Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner Kid Rock.

CNN Just Used A Hilarious Poll To Show Just How Unpopular Trump's Ballroom Is—And We're Cackling

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

Woman In Labor Times How Long Her Husband Takes To Poop To See If She Can Push Their Baby Out Faster In Hilarious Viral Video

It's well-known across the internet that it takes forever for men to use the restroom. For dads especially, in the time it takes them to poop, when they return to the house, their kids will have aged seven years, and their baby will have learned to walk.

These are jokes, of course, but it's an internet consensus that men spend a really long time on the porcelain throne.

In early 2024, 49-year-old Antonia Eastwood married Ashley Monk after about five months of dating. During the ceremony, Antonia tripped while walking down the aisle.

Antonia and Ashley were both suspicious that she did not trip accidentally and that Ashley's sister, Gemma, actually tripped her. Gemma and Antonia were not close, and the couple also believed that Gemma might be jealous that they were marrying after five months, though she'd been with her childhood sweetheart for 20 years without tying the knot.
