There’s zero chance that Donald Trump only gained four pounds in the past year

Donald Trump announces a deal has been reached to briefly reopen the US government

Several weeks back, when Donald Trump came out into the Rose Garden to announce the end of the longest shutdown in history, I noted on this site and on Twitter that he seemed to have gained a lot of weight pretty recently. He’s always been a sad fat man, a lazy lardass, a man with a FUPA the size of his ignorance. But I was really struck by his rapid weight gain just over the past three months or so. So imagine my surprise that the official White House doctors claim that Trump weighs a mere 243 lbs. GTFO.

President Donald Trump weighed in at 243 pounds during his physical last week, an increase of four pounds from last year that makes him technically obese, according to a report released Thursday by the White House.

Trump’s blood pressure, 118/80, was about the same as last year (122/74), while his cholesterol was down to 196 from 223 last year. The president has also had an increase in dosage of rosuvastatin (also known as Crestor), a drug designed to help reduce cholesterol levels.

“It is my determination that the President remains in very good health,” said Dr. Sean Conley, the president’s physician, in the report released by the White House.

[From USA Today]

The last time Trump had a physical, the doctor was drunk AF and shady AF. This year, things are still predictably shady and weird – like, Trump had his physical last Friday, a week ago, and it took six days for the doctors to release any information about his physical. Even Dick Cheney’s old cardiologist was like “the White House doctors are hiding something.” Yeah, they’re hiding the f–king weight scales. There’s no way Trump only weighed 239 pounds last year, and there’s no way he only weighs 243 pounds this year. Sure, that weight puts him in “obese” territory, but let’s be real – he weighs a lot more than that. The Girther Movement is real, peeps!

    243…..on the moon perhaps

    • jwoolman says:

      I thought the alcoholic doctor said Melania was supposed to watch his diet so he would lose weight last year? Could it be that she is (gasp!) sabotaging his diligent weight loss efforts?

    • onerous says:

      I LOVE when they say that number… it’s soooo ludicrous!!!

      When I was a kid, someone who was 200 lbs really stood out as large. These days, though, 300 lbs is more the marker in our minds as “obese” and DT DEFINITELY has hit that 300 mark… He’s tall, for one thing – my brother is the same height and looks pretty slim at 220! There’s not a chance in hell Donald Trump is only 20 lbs more, lol!

    • whatWHAT? says:

      yeah, there are professional football players that weigh that much and don’t look nearly as tubby as this clown. Big, yes, but not flabby like 45 does. There is NO WAY that he’s only 243.

    • Mgsota says:

      I don’t believe his blood pressure or cholesterol either. Not with all those Big Macs his pasty fat ass consumes. (And I never call people fat, I myself am overweight) but it feels good to call him every horrible thing I can come up with.

      • maisie says:

        Ditto. I too should not throw stones, but Trump is SO REPULSIVE and such a blatant liar (as is his doctor, apparently) that I too can’t refrain from rolling my eyes when it’s reported that he’s “only gained four pounds.” We have eyes, you morons. Trump is 350+ lbs – just own up to it. Jesus H. Christ on a cracker.

      • Veronica S. says:

        Eh, honestly, cholesterol and hypertension are as much about genetics as other risk factors. I used to work with a girl who was young and very fit, and she actually was borderline high cholesterol because of family history. I could actually buy those numbers as legit.

        It’s just…everything else I question.

      • S says:

        It is true about blood pressure and cholesterol being just as heavily influenced by genes as lifestyle (honestly, this is also true of weight; both are factors but genetics are a b*tch to overcome), but that exam also showed his medications to control both those things had been substantially upped in the past year. He’s on the maximum dose now. Honestly, he might have been then, too, since these exams are about as worthwhile, in terms of public info, as the people who go on North Korean television to talk about how handsome, funny and intelligent their own Dear Leader is. The report has an audience of one; no one else is even expected to actually believe it, only play along. Getting people to knowingly lie to your face and claim they think the lie is true is the real power.

      • LivePlantsCleanAir says:

        I’m fat, please don’t think I’m horrible….and please don’t be fat-shaming folks. Who really cares whether he’s 50 pounds heavier or 5? His weight is the very LEAST of our concerns IMHO

  2. Eric says:

    *checks through medical notes*

    Yep, the examining “doctor” is dyslexic. Emperor Zero is 432 pounds of orange Cheeto dust shellacked together with hamberder grease and cold limp French fries. EZ built his “wall” for sure—around his belly.

  3. Darla says:

    He is likely technically morbidly obese and that is why he finally admitted to being only obese. But that is the least offensive thing about this guy (and in fact, is not an offensive trait at all). I call him a fat f all the time, but then I feel guilty about it because I never call people fat in real life, or even think about it. I am not like that. But it comes off the tongue so easy when it is someone I hate this much. I don’t know. I feel like I should work on that, but I hate him so much I don’t want to?

    • Jerusha says:

      I know how you feel. I would never comment about a regular person’s size, but he’s a monster and these are desperate times.

    • Kaiser says:

      He’s the only person I ever call fat. And that’s because he’s a fat narcissistic lying white supremacist predator and child abuser. FAT FAT FAT

    • ab says:

      “I feel like I should work on that, but I hate him so much I don’t want to?”

      lmao!

    • Angela82 says:

      I don’t feel bad bc he is constantly making nasty remarks about women’s appearances so he can f*ck himself. He is morbidly obese.

    • Kitten says:

      Same, Darla. It’s ok to not give an eff about his feelings though. I think we can all admit that our normal decorum goes out the window when it come to President Fat Shitburger.

      • S says:

        I saw this put very well, on Twitter by Louis Peitzman …

        “People continue to miss the point of not fat-shaming. ‘I don’t care about hurting Trump’s feelings.’ I mean, cool, me neither. But you’re not hurting his feelings. He will never see your hack jokes. A lot of thoroughly decent fat people will. Don’t be a dick.”

        … Now, I don’t think questioning the validity of his medical report is the same as fat shaming, since this is an obvious and disgusting lie being perpetrated on the American public by insinuations we are supposed to trust and totally fund. But it is something to think about.

  4. TheOriginalMia says:

    He’s 275 or more. But that’s fine. We have eyes. Just like the man continuously lies about crowd, he’ll lie about his weight. Don’t understand these doctors selling their integrity to cover for him. He’s out of shape, eats horribly, and his evil to the core.

    • minx says:

      I’ve been around many tall, big people and I agree, he’s at least 275. Probably more like 285.

  5. NotSoSocialButterfly says:

    Fatboi is 275# if he’s a pound at all.
    Somewhere there is an onstage height comparison between the Rump and Obama, who claims a height slightly less that Rump’s, and Rump is clearly shorter than Obama.

  6. grabbyhands says:

    Fat Nixon passed technically obese ages ago.

  7. Q T Hush says:

    FAKE NEWS!!!!!!

  8. Jerusha says:

    What’s the word for number dyslexia? 342 is more like it. But, I approve. Keep it up until you explode or the coronary event happens, Jabba. Either’s fine.

    • Jan says:

      OMG! I have thought the same thing! LOL!! This will all be over when they announce he has had a massive coronary! We can only hope he is a secret smoker also! Am I evil?

      • Angela82 says:

        Nope. I am hoping fast food is his downfall. I also have a hard time believing his BP is great or that somehow his cholesterol is down this year when he has gained weight. But he could be on meds lol. I secretly hope they’re placebos.

      • jan90067 says:

        On another post here this morning I said the same thing: that Fat Nixon is *easily* 325 lbs. I want to know WHY these doctors are fudging these results? What’s their payout?? With Fat Bastard’s diet of cheeseburgers (McD’s no less, such good, grade A organic beef! :/S), KFC, cokes… what is his cholesterol, really? His risk of stroke/heart attack…?? We already know he doesn’t exercise (he said “a person only has *so* much energy in his life to use… seriously, this moron said this!)

        Speaking of which: Did you all hear the study that came out yesterday (from the American Heart/Stroke Foundation), that said if you have two or more DIET colas per day, your risk of stroke and heart attack is TRIPLED? We ALL know Fat Bastard has at least 1/2 doz. cans a day.
        Let us all pray….🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    • Eric says:

      Jeru

      It’s dyscalculia

      Just FYI, there may be 0% chance EZ is 243 but there’s a 423% chance he’s 300+

  9. AnnaKist says:

    ‘E’s ‘aving a laugh… What a lying, delusional twat.

  10. RBC says:

    I want to see the scale used to get 45’s weight. It was off by 10-20 lbs at least. He has to be closer to 260lbs.

  11. jwoolman says:

    Well, fat weighs less than an equal volume of muscle and Trump doesn’t get much exercise… They really should measure the percentage of his body that is fat, including his head.

    I guesstimated he was gaining something like ten pounds a month after the election. Then he seemed to taper off. If he is gaining again, maybe he’s a stress eater? Or he’s retaining a lot of fluid, which could indicate heart or kidney problems.

    The guy drinks a case of Diet Coke each day, which is a lot of fluid (144 fluid ounces if they are 12oz cans in a 12 pack, equivalent to eighteen 8oz glasses per day). Such cans also have about 40mg sodium each, not much for a single one but 12 adds 480mg sodium to an already salt-heavy diet. That can promote fluid retention also. Guidelines for daily sodium are 1500mg (American Heart Association), 2000 mg (US government), 2300mg (World Health Organization), and 2400mg (UK government). A cheeseburger and fries from McDonald’s can surpass the American Heart Association recommendation easily.

    • Darla says:

      Unfortunately I think diet coke only kills women over 50 . I just read about this the other day. Post menopausal women, there really is no safe amount. But i guess he can chug away with no repercussions, too bad.

      • noway says:

        It’s not just women, but men too just not as much. Apparently, older people (over 60) who drink one or more diet soda a day are 3X the risk for strokes and dementia. The dementia is kind of explained then.

  12. minx says:

    My son is 6’ 4” and a big guy—but he looks nothing like the blubbery Trump. There is no way he’s 243, no way.

    • Astrid says:

      Same, my 19 year old son is 6’5″ and weighs 265 and he looks slim compared to Cheeto

    • Lindy says:

      Yeah, my husband is 6’4″ and currently 270, which is the heaviest he’s ever been (we’re both working on losing a lot this year and it’s going well) 🙂 He is definitely, entirely, less overweight at his current weight than Drumpf the Liar is. I’d guess a minimum of 285.

  13. Lucy2 says:

    Not a chance, especially if he’s as tall as he claims to be. I think he’s got to be pushing 300, if not over. I also don’t believe his blood pressure is that good, without medication. The only thing that makes sense is the medically controlled cholesterol.

    • Dara says:

      300-ish is my uneducated guess too. I can’t even hazard a guess on his BMI, there can’t be all that much muscle hidden under the impressive layer of lard he’s carrying around, but what do I know. I laughed out loud at the blood pressure number. That has to be a medically controlled number, right? No one at his weight and activity level has that BP number naturally.

  14. Lizzie says:

    as a fat person – i can confirm this bitch is F A T.

    i listen to pod save america and something they offhandedly mention, quite a bit, is how unhealthy it is to work in the white house and on campaigns. like – no sleep, eating shit on the go, no time to exercise, stress, always sick and you leave looking like a monster. all of them and some of their guests have remarked about losing weight and getting healthy after leaving. they also maintain that it is through incredible discipline that the obamas (or any others) maintained their fitness in office. trump didn’t start with discipline and he sure hasn’t developed it.

    • bobafelty says:

      as a fat person – i can confirm Lizzie is correct

    • minx says:

      The Obamas were diligent about diet and exercise. Michelle grew that beautiful garden and the RW loonies mocked her about trying to eat healthy and getting kids to move. Barack and Michelle also worked hard but they made time for their family. They really were the complete opposite of the fat sack of sh*t and his aging sugar baby wife, who probably go weeks without seeing each other. I can’t even imagine where Barron fits in to Trump’s golf schedule.

    • Veronica S. says:

      The Obamas had the benefit of younger age on their side, too, but yeah. *My* life is hectic between two jobs and schooling, which limits the time I have to exercise and eat healthy, so I can absolutely imagine that the Oval Office is a nightmare schedule-wise. You’re never truly “off the clock.”

      What baffles me about all this is why it’s even an issue to lie about it. Being fat didn’t get Taft thrown out of office, so it’s not like Trump is going anywhere for it. The reason he should be tossed out are entirely ethical/mental health matters.

  15. London Lozza says:

    So his scales have managed to hide at least 25 lbs or so for him … where can I get those, and do they come in a non-fascist less orangey version?!

    Do you think his people have to change the label in his clothes, so that he thinks he’s a size medium too?!

  16. PlayItAgain says:

    What I want to know is why these military doctors are lying for him publicly. Are these guys such automatons that they’ll say anything he tells them to simply because he’s “president” and the commander in chief? Or is he targeting doctors with something to hide? Or does he simply pay them off?

    • onerous says:

      I’m guessing it probably has something to do with national security, I guess? I mean, we can SEE that he isn’t healthy but maybe admitting it publicly maybe seems like something that could be destabilizing?

      • insertpunhere says:

        Yeah, his weight will destabilize the country. Not the tariffs. Not the concentration camps. Not the relentless assaults on the rights of LGBTQ people or the fact that he’s declaring a state of emergency over something that is not an emergency.

        For the record, I’m not disputing that’s their logic, but I am questioning whether it’s actual Earth logic that makes sense. I’m far more concerned about the bizarre weather people are dealing with throughout the country than whether the president is fat.

    • jwoolman says:

      His drunk doctor last year let him self-report weight and height without actually checking it. That probably was also done this year.

      Who knows what tests were actually run and what results actually were. I don’t know why they even bother making a public report. They have been hiding the true physical condition of Presidents for many generations. Look at Reagan – by the second term, they must have known he was slipping into dementia even if they weren’t sure yet that it was Alzheimer’s. People around him tried to cover for him and keep him from doing something disastrous during an addled phase. People are doing the same for Trump, but he is surrounded by a poorer quality of people that Reagan has. He’s fired or is planning to fire anybody halfway sensible, or abusing them so much that they are counting the days to when they can quit.

  17. Incredulous says:

    The only way he’s under 300 is if you use kilos.

  18. prissa says:

    OMG! I can’t comment enough that you pick out THE BEST pictures of this orange pustule, Kaiser.

    I’m at work ROLLING with laughter. TOO FUNNY!!!!!

  19. lower case lila says:

    On Morning Joe they called Trump “portly.” but Doctors call it obese and he’s gained weight since his last physical. Must be all that Brain food he’s eating.

  20. Who ARE these people? says:

    I was hoping you’d use the word “lardass” and there it was. Thank you.

  21. Cay says:

    Anyone else see Rachel Maddow’s take on his height last night? She contends he’s added at least 2 inches to his actual height. She showed photos of him standing next to other men who are 6’2″ and he’s shorter than them. He, however, now claims to be 6’3″. Maddow was saying how it doesn’t matter how tall he is, so she wondered why he continues to lie about it over and over again. In fact, he’s now officially an inch taller now that he’s become POTUS. (He used to claim he was 6’2″.)

    • Lucky Charm says:

      His inflated ego and delusions of being king have added at least an inch, lol. Burst that bubble and he’ll be back down to 6’1″ again.

    • Nicole(the Cdn one) says:

      In part perhaps because it impacts his BMI – if he is taller, he can carry more weight before being categorized as obese.

      And then there is his crippling insecurity, so maybe he needs to believe himself to be taller than those around him.

      • Christin says:

        When Doc Ronny issued his report, the 6’3”/239 combination put his BMI one pound under obese category. Speculation was that inch was easier to add than claiming he lost weight.

        Before the election, I watched an Oz episode where that TV doctor first mentioned a much higher weight for Orange. Somehow what we first heard on-air as either 269 or 279 changed to 239 by the end of the interview!

        Why can’t he just admit it, gain a few more pounds and claim the heftiest of all time from Taft (350 pounds).

    • Giddy says:

      It must be that rare over 70 growth spurt. He was lying when he claimed he was 6’2”, so I guess he decided to further give himself another inch. It’s amazing, if his lips are moving he’s telling a lie. This reminds me of how he has always lied about the height of his buildings. He claims that Trump Tower has 68 floors, but it actually has 58. Lies, lies, lies!

  22. PhillyGal says:

    The 4 pound gain was just a typo. It was supposed to be 40.

  23. Arpeggi says:

    He’s tall, but he’s not 6’3 so that already will affect his BMI. He’s probably about 10-15lbs heavier than stated so yeah, he is obese and has been for a while. I don’t necessarily think he’s that much heavier than stated because fat is lighter than muscles and lord knows he’s all fat and not muscles!

    He (sadly) has good genes cuz I would need a triple bypass at 40 if I was living like he does (bad genes…). Where I truly think his MDs are lying is about his mental state: he has dementia, it’s obvious he’s not fit to do anything aside from watching TV all day.

    • jwoolman says:

      It’s really hard to tell the difference between dementia and normal for an aging extreme narcissist.

      But his linguistic ability has definitely deteriorated overall compared to a few years ago. That suggests increasing neurological impairment. It is not due to his age – there are too many people much older than him who are alert and active and able to speak and write as well as they did when younger.

      But medication or self-inflicted drugs can cause such problems. He also may simply not be doing as well on his fast food diet as he managed when younger, likewise with his disordered sleep pattern. He seemed to be gaining a lot of weight in his first few months of the Presidency. Just compare how he looked compared with during the campaign. That pattern seems to have started again.

      He might just be a stress eater and so the weight gains indicate when he is under more stress. Judging from his frantic tweets, he is afraid of Mueller and for good reason. But he’s also afraid to resign at this point because he thinks the Presidency will protect him. I don’t think he is happy outside of the bizarre rallies.

  24. NeoCleo says:

    His butt alone weights 243 pounds.

  25. Starki says:

    I weigh less than half of what he weighs and I am quite sure that he would call me fat since I’m not a skinny blond, so I don’t feel bad about calling him fat when he’s HUGE.

  26. Sandy Eggo says:

    Remember that recent pic from Iraq when he was “kissing” Melanie? They were both in profile and he was wearing a shiny green bomber jacket. He looked like a beach ball.

    • Christin says:

      Elastic-waist jackets and polo shirts have always given away the true girth. Now, even the suit jackets and long ties are not hiding it.

  27. recharge says:

    so I just googled weight and height of Tiger Woods – he is 6’1″ and 185 lbs
    then I searched pictures of him standing next to DT …. yeah same height

    • Christin says:

      Per a government medical website, people typically lose nearly one-half inch of height “every 10 years after age 40. You may lose a total of 1 to 3 inches as you age.”

      This has been my experience with older relatives, as we compared heights through the years. You lose height due to changes in muscles, bones and joints. No way did the guy gain two inches since his 30s.

  28. Cleo17 says:

    Just an FYI – almost all of the diet sodas studies in recent history have been deeply flawed. It would be highly unusual based on the study design for that not to be true for this one. In fact, an overwhelming number of nutritional studies are often found to be deeply flawed. There’s a great article about this on Vox regarding the Mediterranean Diet.

    So, for the sake of my own mental health, I’m pinning my hopes on the Angry Creamsicle getting his ass thrown in prison.

    • Veronica S. says:

      Nutritional studies are notoriously hard to perform with proper controls, that’s why. It’s almost impossible to get a selection of people with the same lifestyle, stress factors, disease states (or lack thereof), much less genetics or other complicated factors. Generally any time I see a study claiming one diet has been proven significant over the rest, I just roll my eyes and trash it. The Mediterranean diet is just a significant example because the study made it all the way to the New England Journal of Medicine before having to be pulled later for conflicting data. Ultimately, the modern human body has been around 10,000+ years. It’s a machine that’s learned to adapt to pretty much any environment, so it’s foolish to think there’s any one diet that’s one size fit all. I’ve stopped stressing myself out arguing with people who aren’t medically educated because chances are they really are ignorant as to how little “common knowledge” is completely inaccurate.

      • S says:

        This. Look, I’ve never smoked, nor done a recreational drug in my life. Don’t eat fast food and rarely ever have candy. I have come to enjoy a (single) glass of wine with dinner a couple times a week, but spent the first 29 years of my life totally abstaining from alcohol after growing up with an abusive alcoholic. Do I think the 2 (good day) to 5 (bad) Diet Cokes per day that I chug are, in any way, beneficial to me? No; I’m not delusional. But it’s usually the people sipping on some diuretic tea their favorite Insta “influencer” swore by, or devoting themselves to the latest fad elimination diet that “changed their life,” who want to lecture you about how, “you know, that’s gonna kill you.” So, yeah, diet soda, and an occasional red wine, are my vices, and I no more swear by a study that says either has health benefits, then I do one that says they’re gonna kill me instantly.

        Be aware of health guidelines for sure, but I’m always super skeptical of the idea that boogeyman diseases like Alzheimer’s are caused by any one thing (plastic cups, non-stick pans, not doing crossword puzzles). Some of the healthiest people I know have been taken by cancer, while my grandma who smoked like a chimney for 70+ years is still going strong at 93. Health is a big old mess of genetic and lifestyle factors, all mixed with a big bag of luck. There’s no magic bullet, something or, more usually, a large mixture of somethings, gets us all in the end.

  29. Deedee says:

    He’s lost his mind, and that probably weighed a pound or two.

  30. S says:

    I try to look directly at Cheeto Mussolini all that often, for the sake of my own blood pressure, but I do have eyes, so know there’s no way in hell he’s gained less weight during this national nightmare of a presidency than I have.
