I saw a post from one of DU’s prestigious Medical Corps listing the potential side effects and flatulence was way up there.

Personally, I believe that any noticeable weight loss is due to the flop sweat diet plan.

3. Trump Apparently Calls in Massive McDonalds Order to NYC Courthouse

Donald Trump reportedly called in a massive McDonalds order to court on Monday, with TMZ capturing staffers in dark suits carrying six large brown bags from the fast food chain into the New York courthouse where Trump is on trial. Trump’s love of the Golden Arches is well-documented, with the former president calling in an order of $5,500 worth of grub from fast food restaurants—most of which was from McDonalds—to feed the Clemson University football team in 2019 when they visited the White House. He also dined on some of the iconic chain’s food when he was recovering from COVID-19, ordering his favorite meal—a Big Mac, Filet-o-Fish, fries and a vanilla shake. Prior to Monday’s big lunch, Trump was reportedly berated in court with accusations that he lied for decades about the value of his properties. The civil suit could cost Trump as much as $250 million after a judge ruled he was liable for fraud.

If you believe Noel Casler, and I have no reason not to, Trump has had gastrointestinal issues for decades, thanks to drug addiction and eating garbage all his miserable life. The latter is why he would be on Ozempic, as it is a diabetes treatment. He has been shitting himself since at least his "The Apprentice" days, with or without it.

How Does Ozempic for Weight Loss Work?

While Ozempic is not specifically labeled as a weight loss drug, studies sponsored by Novo Nordisk, the company that makes Ozempic, suggest people who take semaglutide—the active compound in Ozempic—may lose weight. In fact, the FDA approved semaglutide for weight loss in 2021 under the brand name Wegovy. However, Wegovy provides a higher dose of semaglutide than Ozempic—2.4 milligrams of semaglutide in Wegovy compared with 0.5 milligrams, 1 milligram or 2 milligrams of semaglutide in Ozempic.

contain the same medication (that helps control Diabetes and Weight.).

They're just branded differently, and may be dosed differently depending on needs.

and people with diabetes are struggling to get their prescriptions filled because overweight Americans with no other medical problems have bought up all the supplies. I know several people who are going through this at the moment. They were diagnosed with diabetes and put on the medication and every few months they are unable to get it and then they have to start all over with the lowest dose the next time the drug is available and it’s really screwing with their health.

The staff from his TV show talk about it openly.

Trump has done cocaine and adderall for decades which can cause fecal incontinence.
