After a whiplash-inducing morning of mixed messages, Donald Trump on Wednesday opened a small window into some of the results from his most recent physical examination, revealing that he is overweight and takes a statin, a type of drug that lowers cholesterol, the New York Times reports.
Mr. Trump gave the quick synopsis on Dr. Mehmet Ozs television show after the Republican presidential nominees aides had said that he would, then that he would not, broach the topic with the doctor on the show.
A Trump aide said that Dr. Oz, who focuses heavily on obesity, declared Mr. Trump slightly overweight with a weight of 236 pounds (although earlier reports put his weight at 267 pounds.)

(1,132 posts)236lbs? Maybe all this Clinton talk has his addled mind thinking he's in the 90s.

(21,786 posts)at a height of 6'2" that's a BMI of 30.5, he'd be classified as "obese", not "overweight".

(49,062 posts)I've seen his height reported as both.
Apparently he says he is 236 lbs this September: http://www.adn.com/nation-world/2016/09/14/trump-health/
286 lb is a better estimate of his weight. That is Severely Obese at either height (36 and 37 BMI), according to official guidelines (over 35 BMI).
Does it look like he weighs only 236?
A report http://www.inquisitr.com/3511029/donald-trump-weight-obese/ says that on Dr. Oz he says he weighs 267: Obese. He also now reports his height as 6 foot 3 inches. Apparently he gained an inch on the campaign trail. And that's after he says he lost 15 pounds. http://www.people.com/article/donald-trump-lost-weight-campaign-trail
CNN reports both weights, 236 and 267: http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/14/politics/donald-trump-dr-oz-weight/
Some websites (celebrity clickbaits) report him weighing 198 or 200 lb, but I haven't found a reliable source for that figure. It may have been put out by tRump some time in the 1980s when it was more believable but surely even then a lie.

(22,651 posts)IMO, over-criticism of a candidates appearance will quickly backfire. He'll announce a 20lb weight loss & claim he has more self control then his opponent.
At this point in time republicans are trying to gain a small percentage of 'votes'. Small percents add-up to a win in many counties across America.

(22,651 posts)IMO, weight control and exercise habits shouldn't be a dominate talking point over the above.
I don't the Republican would last a month with a schedule Clinton has maintained for many, many years. She is proven, she can multi-task under pressure.
