Only 244 lbs?! Really ?

How are we supposed to believe his corpulence has only expanded by 5 lbs?!?!?! What the hell else is his Dr lying about? And no mention of hydroxyhydrochloriquine either! That Physical report means nothing!

I honestly put his weight around 300 lbs.

At 6'3" claimed height, his claimed weight at that time happily produced a BMI just under clinically morbidly obese.

Must be nice to have good views around instead of people's chests and backs.

I have a relative who weighs about that much and is 6'3" (for real). He's a bit chunky but he's much, much slimmer than His Lardship, who has to be pushing 300.

If he just told the truth, it would've hardly been noticed. His obesity affects his health, which affects everybody. Get it now?

High blood pressure

Osteoarthritis to name a few

It's also been linked to certain types of cancer.

Being obese is not good for your health.

I’m not one to fat shame - being a few pounds outside the ideal range myself - but to claim that obesity isn’t a MAJOR health problem is wrong and DANGEROUS!

Depending on what study you look at, at least a third and up to 75 percent of people classified as "obese" are metabolically healthy, meaning their blood pressure isn't elevated, they don't have high cholesterol and they're not insulin-resistant. In addition, unfit skinny people are twice as likely to get diabetes over 20 years as fit fat people. Seeing "fat" and saying "unhealthy" hurts fat people you care about by reinforcing our fatphobic society.

Is carrying extra weight hard on joints? Sure. Does obesity correlate with heart or breathing problems? It can. But focusing on the number on the scale is a mistake that also results in health problems. Many, many people who have lost weight because of depression, sickness or eating disorders find their can't stop talking about how "great" they look now, when they still feel like shit (or are actively battling a mental illness). It's all connected. There's plenty to go after Trump for, but making fun of his weight simply contributes to a world that makes it harder for our fat friends and allies to navigate.

being extrmely overweight. He eats nothing but fatty junk food, he drinks about a dozen Diet Cokes a day, he has been a raging coke/Adderall/amphetimine addict since the 70's at least, he doesn't exercise at all, he is filled with rage, and he is on BP medication and statins for cholesterol.

He also takes Propecia for hair loss which has many side effects and Ambien for sleep. God knows what else he is popping, but you can tell by looking at him that he is NOT a healthy guy.

Personally, I am amazed he's not dead yet, but it's something I pray for every day and I'm not even religious. However I might consider a belief in a higher power if he were to drop dead in the next few months.

so, 73" and 244 is prob within 10 lbs of the truth.

jeez, it's just lying about his weight and height. it's not like he is addicted to Sudafed, has fake hair, fake teeth, and wears makeup...

Instead of criticizing the Doctor, we need to realize that Trump is underweight and needs 4-scoops of ice cream instead of two, and plenty of fried chicken, chocolate cake and hamberders (with plenty of cheese).

I don't weigh that much, but I'm not too far below it and I'm much thinner. I'm not that tall either.

I'm kind of wide-bodied, I guess, but I also know that muscle is more dense than fat.
