Donald Trump weight gain raises cardiovascular health concerns

Donald Trump has reportedly gained 10 kilograms in recent months, bringing his weight to 108 kilograms. At 80 years old and standing 1.90 meters tall, medical experts have expressed concern regarding his cardiovascular and metabolic health.

Silvio Buscemi, president of the Italian Obesity Society, suggests the weight increase is an indicator of the stress associated with the presidency. He attributes the change to a demanding lifestyle involving constant travel, frequent meals, and receptions. Buscemi noted that a rapid increase in weight poses a higher health risk than maintaining a stable, albeit high, weight.

Trump has previously expressed a preference for junk food and a dislike for physical exercise, noting that he finds activities like using a treadmill boring. His primary form of activity is golf, though he typically uses a cart for much of the course.
