President Donald Trump was joined by several children in the Oval Office Tuesday to celebrate his signing of a proclamation to restore the Presidential Fitness Test award, during which he deviated from the topic of youth sports to discuss his wildly unpopular war against Iran, turning to one of the children as he made his case for the conflict.
