President Donald Trump faces significant health risks due to weight gain, according to medical experts.
President Donald Trump has gained 23 pounds over the last three years, leading medical experts to warn that his weight gain poses a significant risk to his health. A May physical exam revealed the 80-year-old president weighed 238 pounds, which is 14 pounds more than his previous annual check-up. Doctors, including Scott Kahan of the National Center for Weight and Wellness, suggest that addressing obesity should be a priority for the president's health, comparable to Secret Service protection. The administration announced that while the president has a known preference for fast food and a distaste for intense exercise, he remains sharp and energetic. White House spokesman Davis Ingle defended the president's acuity, noting that the president's work ethic stands in contrast to the previous administration's perceived decline of Joe Biden. Despite the concerns, President Trump has acknowledged his weight with humor, comparing himself to former President William Howard Taft.
