https://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/president-trump-is-extremely-obese-and-still-eating-junk-food/
The White House announced Thursday that Trump will undergo his first physical since becoming president on January 12. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the appointment will happen at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. White House physician, Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson, M.D., will examine the president 's health, just like he did for his predecessor, Barack Obama. But the president might not like what he hears after he steps on the scale for the doctor.
As a candidate in the 2016 election, Trump released a letter from his personal physician, Dr. Harold Bornstein, that revealed the former reality TV star weighed 236 pounds, meaning that his body mass index (BMI) of 29.5 made him overweight and bordering on obese. Trump's campaign said the letter revealed the results of a physical exam conducted by Bornstein in September 2016. Bornstein concluded in the letter that, "If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency."
Still, the president's poor eating choices have become somewhat of a national joke since the 2016 election. He once posted a picture on Twitter of him preparing to tackle a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. He is known to drink about a dozen Diet Cokes each day and likes to eat well-done steaks with a side of ketchup. And his former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski revealed in his recent book that Trump preferred to order two Big Macs, two Filet-o-Fish sandwiches and a chocolate milkshake from McDonalds to keep his energy up while on the campaign trail.
"Well, he never ate the bread, which is the important part," Lewandowski told CNN's Alisyn Camerota. "He was busy campaigning. We didn't have time to sit down for a meal." Even without the bread, the meal contains about 1,880 calories and a ton of sugar.

(12,684 posts)10. Well, move the numbers around. Either 326 lbs...
Or 362 lbs. At 6'3" or so, that looks about right from the inauguration pictures.
