US President Donald Trump sent reporters on an unexpected guessing game after sharing an anecdote about a “very famous” friend for whom Ozempic apparently didn’t work—prompting amused denials from within his own administration. As journalists tried to decode the mystery, Vice President JD Vance jumped in to rule himself out, drawing laughter and briefly turning a policy moment into a punchline-filled exchange.
Trump said, "The shot, you know, Ozempic, I think, or one of them. And I told him it wasn't working. It was for him. It didn't work. And he brought up a good point. It didn't work. I told him. He knows who I'm talking about. He's going crazy. He begs me not to mention.
Vance said, "He's not talking about me, ladies and gentlemen.
Trump said, "It's not our great vice president. No. But he begs me not to mention his name because he's become very famous without mentioning his name. And he is actually a very well known business person. But he did make a point. But I knew the point very well. We were always paying far more than any other nation. We were subsidizing the world. Right now there's no more of that. So we're going to be bringing the drug prices down at numbers never never seen before. It's going to have a huge impact."
The video went viral with some users calling it funny. One of the users commented: "Trump and Vance just had a comedy moment on stage “Not talking about me… not our great VP either!” Politics meets stand-up. Guess Ozempic can’t compete with their banter!"
Another said, "This is classic Trump — totally unfiltered and absolutely hilarious. Even JD Vance couldn’t resist jumping in. You may not like the style, but you can’t deny the guy is AUTHENTIC. No script, no filter, just Trump being Trump. That’s why people love him."
