Trump's Physical is in and Nobody Buys That He Only Weighs 243: Maybe 'From His Knees Down'

Trump’s Physical is in and Nobody Buys That He Only Weighs 243: Maybe ‘From His Knees Down’

by Joe DePaolo | Feb 14th, 2019, 5:11 pm

The results are in from President Donald Trump‘s annual physical, and one number is raising quite a few eyebrows.

According to a report by Dr. Sean Conley, the president weighs in at 243 lbs. — up four from his recorded weight last year.




But many on Twitter are extremely far from convinced that the president — whose disdain for exercise and love of fast food are both very well documented — truly checks in at 243. Here’s a sampling of the skepticism:

Heck, he talked openly about the size of his penis. So get a legit height and weight taken live on camera. Emphasis on the "legit".

6. Documented over 5000 lies, FIVE THOUSAND LIES in 2 years, he wont let those be

checked, in fact he wants fact checkers to be physically attacked.

And yet we barely hear about that. Media better figure out what is going on and realize they are his and his deplorables first targets.

7. Every single one of those stats is a complete lie!

The guy can barely walk 20 feet without getting winded. There is no way his BP is that low. Look at how bloated and puffy he is? And there is no way he is 6'3 and weighs 243 pounds. His ass alone weighs that much.

I can't believe this shit!

11. Increasing Rosuvastatin for his already perfect cholesterol
Thu Feb 14, 2019, 08:06 PM

So much for tRumps being perfectly healthy - more than any president in history.

from WebMD:

Rosuvastatin is used along with a proper diet to help lower "bad" cholesterol and fats (such as LDL, triglycerides) and raise "good" cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. It belongs to a group of drugs known as "statins." It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol made by the liver. Lowering "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides and raising "good" cholesterol decreases the risk of heart disease and helps to prevent strokes and heart attacks.

In addition to eating a proper diet (such as a low cholesterol/low-fat diet), other lifestyle changes that may help this medication work better include exercising, losing weight if overweight, and stopping smoking. Talk with your doctor for more details.


His perfect cholesterol has now put him on the highest legal dose of this drug:

from RxList:

The dose range for rosuvastatin calcium is 5 to 40 mg once daily. Use 40 mg dose only for patients not reaching LDL-C goal with 20.


Just think. We could have had his doctor as Surgeon General of the United States.
