muscle mass than Dickhead Donald. Lean muscle is more dense than fat so this will naturally make Rivera look leaner, even if he weighs more.

I don't for one second believe that Durrrrr Fuhrer weighs 239lbs, but I'm not sure this is the best comparison to make.

Pretty probable he has low muscle mass and high body fat.

There's a reason why I am starting to get a spare tire, yet UFC fighters of my same weight look like shredded Adonises.

I ran the Cape Cold Relay for years. It was 80 miles (Plymouth Rock to Province Town. P-town was where the middleweight boxer Marvelous Marvin Hagler trained. One year the race finish coincided with one of his training events and they let us runners spill into his training room as our teams finished. My brother and i were sttting on the edge of a smaller ring that had a speed bag that we though he wouldn't use. When he came in he went right to the ring and told us we could sit right where we were. He was still training and if I recall his weigh in at 5'9 was 170lbs. The same as my pretty lean running weight of 170lbs at 6'2. Marvin sure as hell looked a lot bigger then I did.

he said he weighed 236 lbs and was 6-3. Per this article with him standing next to others who are 6'3, he's shorter than that, and definiteley weighs more than 239 lbs. How can the doctor lie about stuff like this.

...check out this article to see his height compared to Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, Bill O"reilly.

I'm 5'6" and 240 and Trump is visibly much fatter than I am. He's over 300 if he's a pound and he's gained at least 50 in the last year.

I'm 61 years old, so I'm not pregnant.

I wear a size 4-6 child.

I've got a big belly and a big butt. I can't zip pants over my belly.

I'm not overweight, but I've got flab.

I've given birth 3 times and all of my flab comes from my pregnancies.

25. Trump's wearing a shirt that must be at least 2 sizes too large.

Look at the dropped shoulder seams, they are about 3 inches down his arm. Next look at the top button on the neck of his shirt, even buttoned there would be a large open space around his neck. So why is Trump wearing such an oversized shirt?

Look at his huge gut! The wrinkles in the knit fabric point to the area of strain, showing how it is stretched tight across Trump's big belly.
