President Donald Trump has several strikes against him age, obesity, elevated cholesterol and being male that could put him at greater risk of becoming seriously ill from the coronavirus infection he disclosed late Thursday.
Trump and first lady Melania Trump, who also tested positive, are both well at this time and plan to remain at the White House while recovering and being closely monitored, according to a statement from his physician, Dr. Sean Conley.
A White House official said Friday that Trump was having mild symptoms.

On the other hand, the average leftist, who is apparently eaten up with a burning hatred of all things Christian and an abiding, unrepentant love for all things Satanic... Well, may God have mercy on their souls. I wouldn't want to have their eternal prognosis! I actually may have it, but at least I'm not unrepentant. So I say again, may God have mercy on their souls and keep and protect our President, who is trying with all his might to fight the good fight.
We don’t have TV so I see very little of President Trump. If his personal physician gives the president a clean bill of health weight wise that is enough to reassure me.
Do you know how big a bullet proof vest makes you look.
I am not worried, and I never have worried. But I also am not going to take chances. but I also am not going to ignore risk factors. Did you look at the chart I posted ? There are levels of obesity. I would guess Trump is class one, which is @ BMI of 30. 30 is not that high.
If you look at photos of the man from the 2016 primaries to the present he actually looks in better shape, not as puffy, now than back then. The presidency usually ages the occupant rapidly. But Trump seems to be thriving on it. Certainly doesn't look like your average 74 year old.
Doubful...even a blind man can see Trump is overweight.
For a 63 male, 230 lbs is a BMI of 30. Just saying it is a risk factor for complications - I am not saying he WILL have complications. Just that we need to pray he doesnt.
No idea why you think that. One of the main reasons blacks are so much more likely to die from covid is because of their poor overall nutrition.
They are poor. They can’t afford fresh food so they rely on canned, frozen and fast food. That’s cheap and filled with salt and CRAP. It leads to obesity which leads to diabetes. Weight is a huge issue.
I hate when the media makes it sound like they go covid because they are black. The underlying issue is poverty.
Precisely, I mean, I’m 6’1” and 238. I can run 4 miles and even *I* should lose another 10 pounds - probably more. But my muscle mass is pretty good.
You’re right in that him not drinking or smoking is a plus. No vice - except his McDonalds. :)
Total BS. Blacks can afford fresh produce.
That line of BS won’t work with me.
overweight and obese are two different thing and obesity(see Nadler) is a comorbidity while overweight isn’t, especially for an active person, which Trump definitely is.
