Trump's 'height' defies medical odds as images next to Musk, Vance and Prince William spark doubts

American media doesn't seem interested in the Liar in Chief's bullshit.
He doesn't weigh 224 pounds, and he isn't taller than Elon Musk.
He told people what they needed to say to keep their jobs and keep him just under the "Obesity" definition.

Trump's 'height' defies medical odds as images next to Musk, Vance and Prince William spark doubts

That puts him at exactly the same height he was listed as during a physical examination nearly a decade ago. In September 2016, a letter from Trump's personal physician said he was in "excellent physical health," despite his then-236-pound weight and 6'3" height putting him at the high end of what is considered overweight and just shy of obese.

Not only is Trump not getting shorter, but he's actually grown an inch, according to a copy of his New York driver’s license obtained by Politico in 2016. The license listed Trump as 6ft 2".

The 2016 health report also came just a year after Trump's former doctor, Harold Bornstein, put out a statement declaring that Trump had undergone a medical exam that showed "only positive results". The doctor didn't detail Trump's height and weight in the 2015 letter but said that "his physical strength and stamina are extraordinary," adding: "If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency."

But in 2018, Dr Bornstein confessed to CNN that Trump "dictated the whole letter". He said: "I didn't write that letter. I just made it up as I went along." Now, Trump's latest health report has also raised doubts.

I would love to see a doctor testify about this report under oath. This report was done by trump and not by a doctor.

There is no way that trump is 6 foot three and only weights 224 pound





According to one prior physical trump was 244
https://apnews.com/doctors-kept-close-eye-on-trumps-use-of-malaria-drug-0d70f7339bd492556d5b15adc7a001d4
Trump’s weight came in a 244 pounds. That gives him a Body Mass Index of 30.5, based on his 6-foot, 3-inch frame. An index rating of 30 is the level at which doctors consider someone to be obese. About 40 percent of Americans are obese.

There are other reports of trump weighing more



No medical report would discuss trump's golf game





The claimed damage to trump's ear due to the stunt a while back seems not to hold up. A real doctor would know how to spell "scarring" correctly


Can we please talk about the "scaring" on Donald Trump's ear according to his doctor's report from his annual physical?

1) It's "scarring," not "scaring." Are we sure a doctor wrote this?

2) I've never seen a picture of a scar. Not one.

No one has seen this scarring and there are reports that that there was no injury



A CT scan in 2018 found he had coronary artery disease. and this report does not mention





This medical "report" was written by trump and is a work of fiction

The only explanation is that they are wearing lifts in their shoes because Dear Leader is 6'3" for reals.

Oh, and I see an exceptionally silly photoshop/AI as well, but yeah. The shoulder pain is the first thing I see.

medical reports from previous years, then just tweaked them a bit.
He lies about everything else, why wouldn't he lie about this?

Resting heart rate, 62. Really? The average for a man his age is 70-73.
Blood pressure 127/74. Maybe, average is 133/69.
Oxygen saturation 99%. Normal for someone over 70? More like 95%.
Temperature 98.6? Normal for his age is 96.4–98.5°F.

These are perfect stats for a much younger person in good physical condition. A fat 78-year-old, maybe not so much?

There's no way on God's Green Earth that MFer is 3" taller and weighs 9 lbs. more than me.

Even if he has been on Ozempic for a year.
