Doctors warn: Trump's weight endangers him
A new medical report reveals that US President Donald Trump has gained about 6.5 kg in the past year and now weighs approximately 108 kg, just below the threshold for obesity. Experts warn that at age 80, the weight gain poses a significant risk factor and call on the White House to prioritize weight loss.
A new medical report, examined as part of an article in the Washington Post, reveals that US President Donald Trump has gained about 6.5 kg in the past year and now weighs approximately 108 kg. His current weight places him just below the threshold defined as obesity, given his height (1.90 m). Experts who spoke with the newspaper warn that at age 80, the weight gain is a significant risk factor that should be addressed with high priority. Dr. Scott Kahan, director of the National Center for Weight and Health, said that managing the president's weight should receive priority similar to that given to his protection by the Secret Service. Dr. Stuart Fischer, an internist, warned that the fact that Trump's doctors have failed to convince him about his weight is concerning. Trump's eating habits, which include a fondness for McDonald's, sweets, and Diet Coke, have accompanied him throughout his political career. The White House did not directly respond to questions and preferred to emphasize the president's schedule and energy level. Trump himself tends to refer to his weight with humor.
