Donald Trump's Weight Gain Raises Health Concerns Among Medical ExpertsPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump has reportedly gained around 23 pounds (10.4 kg) over the past three years, reaching approximately 238 pounds as of May 2024. Medical experts warn that this weight gain, close to the obesity threshold for his height of 6-foot-3, poses increased health risks, including potential complications common in older adults. The White House maintains that Trump remains in good health, while some doctors express concern about the implications of his weight increase amid ongoing scrutiny of his overall health.
