Trump thinks exercise will kill you.

[kpete]

There has been considerable speculation about Trump’s physical and mental health, in part because few facts are known. During the campaign, his staff reported that he was six feet three inches tall and weighed two hundred and thirty-six pounds, which is considered overweight but not obese. His personal physician, Harold N. Bornstein, issued brief, celebratory statements—Trump’s lab-test results were “astonishingly excellent”—mentioning little more than a daily dose of aspirin and a statin. Trump himself says that he is “not a big sleeper” (“I like three hours, four hours”) and professes a fondness for steak and McDonald’s. Other than golf, he considers exercise misguided, arguing that a person, like a battery, is born with a finite amount of energy.

1. I thought he was an astonishly excellent 6'2"

[rufus dog]

2. There is no way he is 236!

More like 286. Another lie from Team Trump.

[athena]

3. Agreed.

I disagree with the definitions of what is "normal", what is "overweight", and what is "obese", but there is no way Trump is not "obese" by those definitions.

6. At 6'2 and 236 that would be a 30.6 BMI.

6'3 and it's 29.5.

[meow2u3]

8. He's 236, all right

236 kilos, that is!

[taught_me_patience]

9. If he doesn't exercise, he probably has very little muscle under the fat

and muscle weighs much more than fat. I'd guess the's 240-250. Even if his BMI puts him under "obese", just looking at him and his likely body fat %, he's obese.

13. I'd say he's more like 270-280. He's 6'3" and chunky with a big belly and behind...

and never exercises to burn of calories — 270 easy.

15. I was thinking the last 2 numbers were flipped and it 263 . Close to your estimate.

I know someone that is 50 yrs.,6'3 and 220-230 and he looks NOTHING body size like Trump
Iknow trumps older and that is 10 lbs. less but c'mon

[brush]

16. Agreed. 263 is more in ballpark for trump. 6'3" is a lot of inches to pack on the flab.

[bettyellen]

14. Remember they all lied and added 25-35 pounds to the weight of the Ms Universe too....

It's a habit of his.

4. If he weighs only 236 he must be made of styrofoam.

Because he takes up way too much space to be made of anything else at that weight. If he's actually human (and I have my doubts about that, but that's another discussion), he has to weigh closer to 300.

[smirkymonkey]

17. I agree - I think he's pushing at least 300.

He's carrying a lot of poundage on a large frame. Plus all that blubber that he's carrying around his face and head.

[Sparkly]

5. All his test results were positive...

... so there's that.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

7. Bullshit 236 lbs! In space, maybe. nt

[haele]

10. More like 300.

Spouse is 6'1", 330 lbs (medically obese), and Drumpf looks about the same size. Of course, spouse is physically disabled and unable to do more than a 10 minute walk 2x a day on a flat surface before his arthritis flares up and his back gives out.

Using the "rule of thumb" where the camera puts 20-25 lbs on a subject and adjusting for size, that probably puts Drumpf around 300 - 310?

236 at 6'3" would look slightly slimmer than John Goodman when he was playing Walter Sobchak - probably closer to Vince Vaughn on second thought.
Drumpf is a good 70 - 90 lbs heavier at least. (on edit - forced myself to look at a photo of Drumpf and ranged it up. If that's a 52" waist, I'll eat my Chief's bucket cover...brass anchor and all)

Can't fool us fat folks with this "Overweight but not Obese" BS.
On edit - besides, it's not exercise that keeps the weight down, it's the daily amount of Taco Bowls, Big Macs, Beautiful Chocolate Cakes, and KFC that keeps the weight up.

11. I'm 6'5" and 235 and if I looked like as big of a piece of shit as does Donnie, I'd change my life

Donnie lies about EVERYTHING!!!

[cloudbase]

12. He may be right.

18. Am I a terrible person if I believe Donald should stay the course on that position?

Exercise is bad, Donald! Bad! Don't exercise! Do eat Big Macs! Enjoy! Live!
