Milk gets a perch on Trump’s desk but takes a back seat at bill signing
An Oval Office ceremony meant to celebrate milk was overshadowed by President Donald Trump making news on other fronts. Before an assembled group that included dairy farmers and children, Trump discussed Iran, an alleged leaker’s capture and a pair of executive orders he had signed. Even by Trump standards, the “Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act” signing was a surreal scene. The president is accustomed to putting foreign leaders on notice and making major news in an instant, often during long public events on various unrelated topics and always with cameras rolling. But dairy products aren’t usually involved.
