BMI is not considered a definitive diagnostic tool, but its use is widespread.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that obesity is a strong risk factor for numerous health issues\u2014as well as premature disability and death,\u201d Kahan stressed to the Post.<\/p>\n<p>David Kessler, the former head of the Food and Drug Administration, spoke to the Post about the risks to all Americans from being overweight, while not commenting specifically on Trump. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat fat around the midsection \u2014 that visceral adiposity \u2014 is fat around our liver, pancreas, our heart where it doesn\u2019t belong,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Despite that, Trump appears to have little interest in his health, famously flaunting his love for McDonald\u2019s and voicing his disinterest in exercise. In October, the chairman of the Republican National Committee recalled observing Trump\u2019s grotesque diet on the campaign trail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe had hot fries waiting for him from McDonald\u2019s. Then he had a Filet-O-Fish, a Quarter Pounder, and a Big Mac, and I think he combined two of them,\u201d Joe Gruters, a Florida state lawmaker, told a local government podcast.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5939\">Trump\u2019s ICE Pick Faces Inside Revolt From Own Agency<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m thinking to myself, how does the guy that\u2019s as senior as him get away with eating all this McDonald\u2019s on a consistent basis?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, Trump appeared noticeably slimmer than his reported weight during the latter half of his first term. He was clinically obese then, with a BMI of 30.5 and a weight of 244 pounds. But throughout his second term, he\u2019s inched closer to his heaviest.<\/p>\n<p>Trump himself has acknowledged his heavyweight status. Just last month, while discussing former President William Howard Taft, widely regarded as America\u2019s heaviest president, he appeared to draw an unprompted comparison to himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was a large man, very large,\u201d Trump said of Taft. \u201cHe loved baseball. He\u2019d go to baseball games, loved the hot dogs at the baseball games. He was our heaviest president. And I have to be careful because I don\u2019t want to supersede his record. And a thing like that would be possible if I allowed it to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Self-awareness aside, Trump is known for dodging questions about his own health. Administration officials have regularly played down the significance of the purplish bruises on his hands, swollen ankles, and public events where he appears to fall asleep\u2014and his weight is no different.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>A spokesperson for the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday. Previously, communications officials have asserted to the Beast that Trump, the oldest person ever inaugurated as president, is the \u201csharpest, most accessible and energetic\u201d president.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5937\">Kellyanne Conway Blames Voters for Bleak GOP Midterm Outlook<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doctors are sounding the alarm over Donald Trump\u2019s weight.
