Donald Trump has some, well, let’s call them “interesting” ideas about health and wellness. Whether he’s eating a brick-sized slab of red velvet cake in front of a New York Times reporter, dining on fast food, or arguing people shouldn’t exercise because the human body is like a battery with a finite amount of energy, he’s constantly flouting norms of healthy behavior.
So when a little nugget from Trump’s trip abroad was reported about how Trump didn’t walk with other world leaders—instead he had to be chauffeured in a golf cart behind him—that caught the eye of Dallas Mavericks owner and fellow billionaire-turned-reality-star Mark Cuban, who offered Trump some advice on health after seeing that detail.
It’s doubtful he’ll take Cuban’s advice. Which is why he so quickly shifted from criticizing Trump’s unhealthiness to diving into whether the 45th President could actually take advice in the first place. Does Trump have the capacity to even listen to smart people? And does he even have any around him?
This is where Cuban and a lot of the president’s critics differ. Cuban still believes that good public servants can influence policy for the better inside the Trump White House. He doesn’t believe someone working for Trump has to completely debase themselves or set their credibility on fire the moment they arrive at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue; they can still guide the president to some degree. Hence, Cuban believes credible people are still valuable inside the White House because they have the ability to bring order to a chaotic presidency.
Cuban went on to throw a few more missives the president’s way over the course of the weekend. It won’t be the last time we see it happen on Twitter. And don’t be surprised if Cuban wants to do it one day in a presidential debate.

Grieving couple comforting each other
This response to someone grieving a friend might be the best internet comment ever
When someone is hit with the sudden loss of a friend or loved one, words rarely feel like enough. Yet, more than a decade ago, a wise Redditor named GSnow shared thoughts so profound they still bring comfort to grieving hearts today.
Originally posted around 2011, the now-famous reply was rediscovered when Upvoted, an official Reddit publication, featured it again to remind everyone of its enduring truth. It began as a simple plea for help: “My friend just died. I don't know what to do.”
What followed was a piece of writing that many consider one of the internet’s best comments of all time. It remains shared across social media, grief forums, and personal messages to this day because its honesty and metaphor speak to the raw reality of loss and the slow, irregular path toward healing.
Below is GSnow’s full reply, unchanged, in all its gentle, wave-crashing beauty:
Why this advice still matters
Mental health professionals and grief counselors often describe bereavement in stages or phases, but GSnow’s “wave theory” gives an image more relatable for many. Rather than a linear process, grief surges and retreats—sometimes triggered by a song, a place, or a simple morning cup of coffee.
In recent years, this metaphor has found renewed relevance. Communities on Reddit, TikTok, and grief support groups frequently reshare it to help explain the unpredictable nature of mourning.
Many readers say this analogy helps them feel less alone, giving them permission to ride each wave of grief rather than fight it.
Finding comfort in shared wisdom
Since this comment first surfaced, countless people have posted their own stories underneath it, thanking GSnow and passing the words to others facing fresh heartbreak. It’s proof that sometimes, the internet can feel like a global support group—strangers linked by shared loss and hope.
For those searching for more support today, organizations like The Dougy Center, GriefShare, and local bereavement groups offer compassionate resources. If you or someone you know is struggling with intense grief, please reach out to mental health professionals who can help navigate these deep waters.
When grief comes crashing like the ocean, remember these words—and hang on. There is life between the waves.
