Obese?

Honestly, what dictionary are these people using?

I believe that technically obesity is weighing more than 10% over your ideal weight. So if Trump should weight 180 lbs and he actually weighs 200, he is obese. I am obese under those terms. Of course “obese” conjures up images of the morbidly obese.

I think that the whole “ideal weight” standards are based on stats from long ago and are simply out of touch with today’s reality. I’m not talking fat either. People are simply taller and heavier than in the past.

Obese is defined as a BMI over 30. For a 6’3” person (Trump’s claimed height), a weight of 243(Trump’s claimed weight) calculates to a BMI of 30.4.

Hence, Trump is obese.
