Donald Trump health concerns rise following significant weight gain

Medical experts and White House reports have raised concerns regarding President Donald Trump's health, specifically focusing on a significant increase in his weight. According to a White House medical report from May, Trump weighed 108 kilograms (approximately 238 pounds). This represents a notable increase from his August 2023 booking record in Georgia, which listed his weight at 97.5 kilograms.

With a height of approximately 1.90 meters, Trump's current weight places him very close to the clinical threshold for obesity. White House physicians have formally recommended that he focus on weight loss, improved nutrition, and regular physical activity to mitigate long-term health risks.

Beyond weight gain, medical observers have noted other physical signs, including bruising on his hands, swelling in his ankles, and episodes of apparent drowsiness during public appearances. External medical professionals have warned that addressing obesity is a critical priority to prevent cardiovascular disease, disability, or premature death.
