Trump is obviously obese by medical standards. Will the new doctor reveal this at 3pm today?

[anneboleyn]

The doctor from Walter Reed is supposed to reveal results from Trump’s physical at 3pm. How much TRUTH will come out of this? Trump is clearly obese by medical standards — I have a feeling we are still going to hear that his health is AMAZINGLY BIG — PHAT NOT FAT!! He’s not obese — it’s just extra padding for his geniusness! They weren’t shy at all about reporting that Clinton was obese and needed to exercise (Bill). But Trump gets a ridiculous amount of cover.

He also looks terrible in recent images — exhausted, extremely disheveled, haggard, slumping when he walks, fatter, slurring words (our media doesn’t point this out but he definitely slurs his words periodically)

1. no way, even with the statin drugs, that he has a normal cholesterol level

7. I bow to no one in my hatred for Trump.

Having said that, I weigh more than he does, am shorter than he is, also take a statin, and my total cholesterol and LDL levels are normal, and my HDL is better than normal. (above 60).

9. are you 70+ and have a diet of Big Macs and KFC???

[rsdsharp]

10. 64

and I do eat them from time to time.

12. I am 60

and have excellent cholesterol levels... but recently (last checkup or so) have noticed that my levels are increasing. I've cut out more fast food and reduced my weight a bit to try to stave off the statin drug.

13. Dietary habits have less to do with cholesterol

than once thought. Heredity seems to be a larger factor.

2. Trump can't deal with criticism.

The report will be full of good news -- even if Trump is doing a full-on "Weekend at Bernie's".

3. I'm pretty sure the doctor can discuss only what trump allows him to say - nothing more

There's no way he was given Carte Blanche to go over everything, or to release a full report, like he did after President Obama's physical.

I'll be very surprised if whatever is said, isn't parsed in a way to fit trump*'s narrative and ego.

4. I heard someone that

they reported him as weighing 175 LBS.

You could easily fit TWO 175LBS bags of shit in his worthless orange skin.

5. Only what the doctor is allowed to say I am sure

Unless the doctor wants to be bullied and tormented as punishment, it will be "his tests came back OK" or some vague nonsense.

But yeah it is obvious he is obese and not doing so well physically (or mentally)
Not like we need a physician to confirm what we can just see, but it would be nice.

6. No. As I posted earlier today in an LBN thread --

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10141962632

Trump lied about both his height and his weight for an appearance on Dr. Oz before the election, adding an inch to his height and subtracting 30 pounds from his weight to just barely make it into the overweight rather than the obese category.

He's almost certainly heavier now, and his lie about his height was caught right away.

But he's so vain I doubt he'd okay the doctor giving the press his weight or BMI, or okay the doctor using the term "obese." Probably wie'll hear that the doctor thinks Trump needs to lose some weight.

We were already told last week that the doctor would be providing only "some" details.

8. How will Doctor respond to questions about matters that Trump has refused to disclose?

Will the Doctor take questions? Could be very awkward if people ask questions and Doctor cannot talk about specifics - how will he respond?

11. No President's doctor is going to reveal shit

FDR, JFK, Reagan, and Bill Clinton were all given the "clean bill of health" and we know they all had their issues.

14. At best, some vague BS statement along the lines...

...of "No serious/major medical concerns."
