Trump enters obese range, but still in 'good health,' exam findings show
Reuters ^ | 14 February 2019

Posted on 02/14/2019 8:56:17 PM PST by zeestephen

"After taking into account all the laboratory results, examinations and specialist recommendations, it is my determination that the president remains in very good health overall," the president's physician, Sean Conley, wrote in a memo on Thursday....the 72-year-old president weighed 243 pounds, up from 239 pounds in early 2018.

Did they mention that brocko was borderline Somalia skinny?

As soon as I see anyone outworking DJT, I’ll start worrying about his health.

So, did Rooters breathlessy announce Øbowel's refusal to open his medical records?

No? Maybe drug use and STDs were not to their liking to print?

If I weighed what the BMI says I should, I’d be down where I was when I was 12

And I could drop 4 pounds by Monday, should I decide I want or need to.

I don’t believe for a second that he only weighs 240. Not even close. Well, he does have those small hands.

Trump could lose a few pounds but using BMI to determine obesity is a joke. Trump was a top tier athlete scouted by the Yankees, but he had no interest in baseball (better money in real estate). Peak athletes can have excessively high BMI even thought they have low body fat.

There is that but she wears tents to hide it. BillyJeff looks emaciated. Very nearly like the walking dead.

Most athletes would be considered morbidly obese by those stupid charts.

I’m nearly 6’3” and I weigh 242.

Never thought I would be called Obese.

Sell, maybe if I was a Republican POTUS...

The bmi is virtually pure bs.

Height/weight is nothing without additional context.

"Reuter’s is trying to guess the President’s weight. How wonderful they are."

Yes, so good of them!

When it comes to American political reporting Reuters doesn't do news, they do progressive propaganda. It's all Trump hate, all of the time.

The problem is that with increasing age past 70 the disks in the spine get thinner....height decreases and the BMI goes up

Spokeshave who lost 1.5 inches from age 70 to 76.

Is Reuters News ready to call the congress man TESTER obese?

For he surely is...and today I noticed Charlie Schumer seems to have a pot belly, maybe it is a beer belly.. and how about that over fed person who gave the Democrat rebuttal speech ...? now that is what I call obese...

Media just can't stop them selves from insulting a sitting POTUS...really pisses’s me off...

If anyone weighed what those charts say they’re supposed to weigh, we’d all be skin and bones.
