Donald Trump says he "like to lose 10 to 15 pounds" about his weight

Donald Trump’s weight has risen by 23 pounds over three years, with his May physical listing him at roughly 238 pounds, according to a Washington Post report. Doctors cited in the report say his added weight is a serious health risk and that the 80-year-old president should prioritize diet and exercise. White House officials rejected the worries, praising Trump’s stamina and productivity. Earlier, in his first term, Trump had discussed his weight with his doctor, and he has since joked about it publicly. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also commented on the president’s reliance on McDonald’s, candy, and Diet Coke. The report matters because medical concerns about a sitting president carry public significance.
