One of the questions I often ask myself as a conflict averse individual is, “ Is this person worth the fight?”
Listening to this, I realized all of my closest friends are people I have ‘fought’ with.
Guess I’m doing things right.

I want to share a brief update.
My presidential memoir, PROMISE ME, AMERICA, is coming out on November 17th. I hope you'll read it. It covers my years as President. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made, and why I made them. It's about who we are as a nation. What we stand for. And America's role in the world. More than anything, it's about my faith in the American people and the great American experiment in self-governance and democracy.
While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families. My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I've responded to treatment. And the prayers and kind words and well wishes from so many of you have meant more to me and Jill and our family than you can ever know.
Some days are better than others. It hasn't stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. What that means is, unfortunately, I won’t be able to do as many conversations about my book as I’d hoped. However, I’m hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves.
Looking forward, I'm going to keep following what my father told me a long time ago: "Champ, when you get knocked down, get up." It's a good lesson for me. And for America.
We are blessed. America is the most unique nation on earth. Unlike other countries, we're built on an idea. An idea bigger than any ocean. More powerful than any army. Stronger than any tyrant or dictator. That idea? All of us are created equal.
Promise Me, America, we'll never forget it.

Baako suro! We’re still scarred from the Learjet crash- that audio haunts me to date.
My flight on Friday was real rough! After hearing what it was like for a pilot at the brink of death, I just wanted to keep hearing the captain’s voice for reassurance.

I am having the most encouraging flying experience with @united
On the tarmac for an hour for flight to Montana. Captain says a maintenance light is on for cooling. Gotta check it out. He goes into thorough detail on time, impacts, possible scenarios.
Maintenance arrives quickly and says “known issue!” Captain says he isn’t comfortable flying till it’s properly checked. Known issues unresolved are unacceptable. Patriot?! This captain has our trust.
Maintenance comes. Issue remains. Captain explains they are looking for a new part and if it is replaced we will fly. If they find it here is the timeline. Things are being handled . Folks can get off if they like but stay close.
Most folks stay on. Everyone remains calm. No fussing except one guy who gives a big speech about how maintenance is degrading & good for the captain for standing his ground against this decline. He saw this kind of maintenance issue yesterday. He gets off. The rest of us remain. No need to get worked up.
Captain comes out & SURPRISE he is a looker. Like central casting salt & pepper if he starts aging. He’s the Platonic ideal of an airline captain. Like the guy from For All Mankind. This is a man who looks like he should have this job. Our trust was not misplaced.
Alas The Issue cannot be fixed. Captain says do not fret. We have a new airplane. Everyone must deplane and get to the new gate. It’s a 10-15 walk in another terminal. Everyone lines up fast and roll out. Debating on the walk as to getting food ensues. No we all want to keep on the schedule. Most carry on. Everyone calmly lines up. A few got quick snacks. All luggage, toddlers, and elders make it without much fuss or muss.
The new plane is being deplaned from an earlier flight. The passengers patiently wait in nearly the exactly order we deplaned. This is exactly how you hope a maintenance delay goes. Civilized society rests on one man’s shoulders apparently.

Don’t kikiki with me like we’re cool. We’re not.
Last night when Vivek Ramaswamy called Amy Acton to concede the Ohio governors race, he got the Democrat’s voicemail. Acton has not called him back, and the two have not yet spoken.
“And there are no plans to,” said a person in the Acton campaign.

Today, my colleagues and I were debating an issue I thought was inconsequential.
Took me everything to resist the urge to say, “there’s an African proverb that goes ‘ɛnam bebree nsɛe nkwan’”
But I was too tired to explain it.
Anytime I get a pedicure, I mentally explain to the attendant that no, I’m not shaving my legs and no, I’m not dirty.
In America o! Ah!

Sigh. Novartis can’t catch a break.
Novartis has acknowledged seven previously unknown instances in which tumors were found in children who were treated with its spinal muscular atrophy therapy, a surprising development that has raised concerns. statnews.com/pharmalot/2026/…
