The official results are in from Donald Trump’s annual physical, and the report says that he is in good health.
Trump has gained weight though…he is now 243 pounds, up from 239 pounds last year. Additionally, his blood pressure levels clocked in at 118/80 mmHg.
It does seem a bit hard to believe that Trump has gained just 4 pounds over the year, but it’s tough to trust the information that comes out of the White House.
Trump – who once described his exercise regimen as “I walk, I this, I that” – has long faced questions about his health. Last year, he weighed in at 239 pounds, giving the 6-foot-3 president a body mass index of 29.9. That placed Trump at “overweight” and on the verge of “obesity,” which is defined as a body mass index of 30 or greater.
Based on the BMI calculator, with Trump’s height of 6’3″ and a weight of 243 pounds, he has a BMI of 30.4 which qualifies as obese.

The examination took “approximately four hours” and did not require any sedation or anesthesia, Dr. Sean Conley said. Trump was seen by 11 different specialists while at Walter Reed.
Conley said there were “no findings of significance or changes to report on his physical exam, including the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth/gums, heart, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal, and neurologic systems.”
Many on Twitter doubted his weight:
Results of Trump’s physical are in, and they’re predictably bullshit.

At 6ft 3" Trump would have an obese BMI of 30.4. At 6ft 2" (closer to his real height) he has an obese BMI of 31.2. (Justin Trudeau is 6ft 2"…) #trumpweight [7] #trumpbmi [8] #girther [9] #Resist [10] https://t.co/n9Za77j0F2 [11]

I bet trump weighs more like 285. I mean look at the size of that ass & belly. And that triple chin doesn't fit in any shirt he ever wore. Wherever the weight is, it certainly is not because of a 'big brain'.

Bet you $1,000 if Trump got on the scale today, he'd be 267 pounds. Not to be this way, but his stomach is enormous; at times he looks pregnant. Not body-shaming here at all. Just an observation.
His weight was a lie last year and is a lie this year.
