Doctors Say Trump’s Weight Poses a Significant Health Risk
President Trump's medical records indicate a spiking health marker and 14-pound weight gain, raising concerns among doctors about his risk of premature death.
- A new report indicates health markers for President Donald Trump, 80, show rising risks associated with weight gain. Doctors have warned he gained 23 pounds in three years, identifying this as a "strong risk factor" for his health.
- Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. described the president's dietary habits as "unhinged," citing regular intake of McDonald's and Diet Coke. White House physicians have repeatedly recommended the president increase exercise and improve his diet to lose weight.
- Medical records from a physical exam in May show the president weighed approximately 238 pounds, an increase of 14 pounds over the previous year. Dr. Stuart Fischer, an internist, warned the president is "playing with fire" by failing to manage his weight.
- White House spokesman Davis Ingle dismissed health concerns, contrasting the president's "unmatched energy" with his predecessor's perceived decline. Trump joked in July that he must avoid superseding former President William Howard Taft's weight record.
