He really should stop trying to save face when he blunders into something. He just ends up sounding stupid.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced a reversal of plans to charge a 20% toll on cargo going through the Strait of Hormuz, saying that Middle Eastern countries will instead make investment and trade deals with the U.S.

“Based on highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership, I have decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States,” Trump said on social media.

The president said the investments “will be MASSIVE,” though it’s unclear if these would be new commitments relative to what Trump announced after a visit last year to the Middle East.

This week Tony Wyss-Coray and I published an invited review paper in Nature Medicine entitled “Biological Aging Clocks in Health and Disease.” The concepts and content of the paper may be difficult to understand for people not working in life science, but they are groundbreaking and have exciting implications for the future of medicine. So this edition of Ground Truths is intended to make all of the progress comprehensible for you and to hopefully see the coming inflection point in medicine. I’ll divide this into 4 key sections: (1) the chronological illusion of aging; (2) aging is synchronous in our body—the value of organ clocks, (3) cell clocks and the master regulators of aging; and (4) impact for routine medical practice.

"My doctors have confirmed that I didn't break any bones or suffer a concussion. I didn't have a heart attack or a stroke. I don't have any tumors or hemorrhages," McConnell said Sunday. "But I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital. While receiving excellent care over the past several weeks, I've also had to deal with a mild case of pneumonia."

His doctors are trying to figure out what caused the incident, McConnell said, adding he's doing everything they ask to speed up his recovery.

"In fact, with signs of continued progress, I've been able to move from hospital care to a rehabilitation center where I'll keep regaining my strength," he said.
