One of them was Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker.
Trump brought back the Presidential Fitness Test for American children.
He was joined by the likes of golf star Bryson DeChambeau and WWE icon Triple H.
But it was Chiefs kicker Butker who caught the President’s eye as he spoke at the podium.
“You’re a handsome guy, by the way,” Trump said.
“It’s not usually my thing, but he is a good looking sucker.”
Butker looked a tad embarrassed as he awkwardly laughed off the joke.
Vice President JD Vance also seemed to enjoy the gag, as did Triple H and DeChambeau.
Butker, 30, is a three-time Super Bowl champion with the Chiefs.
He previously caused controversy with comments about women made during a college graduation speech.
Butker told female graduates to “lean into their vocation” as wives and mothers and said males should “fight against the cultural emasculation of men.”
The NFL kicker refused to back down over his remarks and defended his comments.
Butker said, “I say that women should embrace and love being wives and being mothers over their career.
“I think then it gets construed that I’m trying to put women down, which I’m not at all.
“l love women, I love my wife.

“She has sacrificed so much for me. She has completely changed her life around.
“And she has made sure she is focused on being the ultimate wife and the ultimate mother.
“I see how happy and excited she is day to day to wake up and embrace that life.”
Butker was at the White House on Thursday to help Trump relaunch the fitness test for children.
It began in 1966 but was phased out under Barack Obama’s presidency.
“This is a wonderful tradition, and we’re bringing it back,” the President declared.
