President Donald Trump Honors Teen Lifeguard and Rescued Boy at White House
- On Monday, President Donald Trump used a cheat card during an Oval Office meeting with Ryder Williams, a 16-year-old California lifeguard, and Nathaniel Rai, 10, clutching the curled card in his left hand.
- Republicans previously criticized former President Joe Biden for using similar staff-prepared notes, including a March 2021 incident where Biden was photographed with a cheat sheet listing reporter names at a news conference.
- The document contained schedule entries including "Photo Opportunity" and factual bullet points, such as "China spends 3 times more on infrastructure than the U.S.," according to Newsweek.
- Trump faces ongoing scrutiny over his health and fitness for office; a May ABC News survey found 59 percent of respondents questioned his mental sharpness, compared to 54 percent regarding Biden in February 2022.
- Williams, a 16-year-old lifeguard, received a certificate of commendation signed by Trump; the White House hailed him as a "young American hero" for rescuing Rai from drowning at a Santa Cruz beach in July.
