White House Tries to Hide Official News That Donald Trump Is Obese

Last week the White House finally released the results of Donald Trump’s physical exam, and they quietly slipped out the information following the big news that Trump had declared a national emergency over the “border crisis” at the Southern border.

Whereas Trump’s 2018 physical got a full press conference and a glowing report from a sycophantic doctor…the 2019 results got no fanfare and were quietly released on a Friday afternoon.

The results were released 6 days after Trump’s 4-day physical, something former Vice President Dick Cheney’s doctor found concerning.

Well, it looks like the concerning info that the White House was trying to slowly and quietly roll out was that Trump is clinically obese.

At 243 pounds, and with a self-stated height of 6’3″, his BMI index is 30.4, meaning the president is obese.

According to the girther movement of 2018, or anyone who’s seen a picture of the purportedly six-foot-three Trump next to the definitely six-foot-one Obama, the president may not be as tall as he says he is.

Another example, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau is 6’2″ tall. Trump says he’s 6’3″. Take a look:

According to the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman, there’s also speculation among “several allies and associates” that Trump weighs more than he’s putting on.

After last year’s physical, which received much fanfare and a full glowing press briefing, outside physicians determined that Trump’s checkup revealed more serious issues than his then-doctor Ronny Jackson let on.

Jackson claimed that Trump was in “excellent” health, despite having an LDL cholesterol count of 143 — well over the ideal level of 100 for “bad” cholesterol. A Stanford doctor interviewed by the Times said he would “definitely” be concerned about Trump’s risk of heart attack, if the president were one of his patients.

According to Trump’s physician Sean Conley, the oldest-ever president, who reportedly drinks up to a dozen Diet Cokes a day, “remains in very good health overall.”

No matter how you look at it, his health has declined since 2015 when his then-doctor Harold Bornstein declared: “Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency.”

Now, we don’t like shaming people for their weight. Weight doesn’t define a person, and generally speaking, shaming someone for their weight is a low blow.

But this is Donald Trump.

Remember the time Trump fat shamed former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, and made her workout in front the cameras?

Heck, Trump even once fat shamed North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un:

Trump also called actress Rosie O’Donnell a fat pig.

So I’m sorry people, I think all bets are off when it comes to Trump.
