Trump is signing an executive order reinstating the physical fitness tests in schools.

In April 2025, former President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled 'Reinstating Common Sense School Discipline Policies,' which focused on restoring safety and order in classrooms by emphasizing objective behavior-based discipline rather than policies influenced by diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) frameworks. This order did not specifically reinstate physical fitness tests but targeted discipline and school safety measures.

However, as of July 31, 2025, credible sources report that Trump is preparing to sign a separate executive order expanding his Presidential Sports Council, which includes reviving the Presidential Fitness Test in public schools. This indicates that while the April 2025 executive order was about discipline, there is a distinct and recent initiative related to physical fitness testing being signed or about to be signed.

Therefore, the claim that Trump is signing an executive order reinstating physical fitness tests in schools is mostly true based on the latest information from July 2025, but it should be distinguished from the earlier discipline-focused executive order.
