He revealed a particular fondness for frames, sometimes more than the pictures themselves, and shared opinions on several predecessors. Trump praised Andrew Jackson, William McKinley, and Dwight D. Eisenhower for their toughness and achievements, and acknowledged Franklin D. Roosevelt’s legacy despite party differences. He recounted choosing a portrait of James K. Polk partly due to the frame size. Trump also noted historical details, sometimes inaccurately, and emphasized the symbolic importance of the portraits in the room.

SUMMARY: Ten-year-old Gracie O’Toole from South Florida heard clearly for the first time after doctors activated her cochlear implants, following hearing loss caused by congenital CMV. This common virus, infecting 50-80% of people, is the leading cause of non-genetic hearing loss in children when transmitted from mother to baby in the womb. Gracie’s mother experienced mild cold symptoms during pregnancy, unaware of its severity. Born prematurely at 34.5 weeks, Gracie’s congenital CMV was identified after failing a newborn hearing test. New screenings for at-risk infants, led by Memorial Health System advocates, enable earlier diagnosis and intervention for babies born before 35 weeks.

Gracie lost her hearing due to congenital cytomegalovirus, or congenital CMV—a common yet often undetected virus that affects up to 80 percent of people during their lifetimes.
