“Trump is officially obese” medical examination shows

Donald Trump is officially  obese according to a newly released physical exam from the White House showing that the US President now weighs 243 pounds (110kg).

Mr Trump was taken through an annual physical on Friday, 8 February, at Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre, under the supervision of physician to the president Dr Sean Conley.

The results revealed on Thursday showed that the president is in “very good health overall,” but his weight has increased by four pounds.

Conley said that no other major changes to his medical or surgical history took place and those routine labs were conducted during the four-hour physical at Walter Reed medical centre.

He released very little data on the president’s health aside from his height (6′ 3″), weight (243), age (72) resting heart rate (70 beats/minutes) and blood pressure (118/80 mmHg).

Last year, Mr Trump’s then-physician Dr Ronny Jackson said the results of the president’s physical, which revealed that Mr Trump was taking medication to lower cholesterol, showed he was in “excellent health”.

The truthfulness of the report, which also reported the president had grown an inch, was widely questioned.

At the time, Dr Jackson suggested Mr Trump, who weighed 239 pounds (108kg), would benefit from “a diet that is lower in fat and carbohydrates and from a routine exercise regimen”.
