Donald Trump's latest White House medical report, released on Friday, put the president at a Body Mass Index of 29.7 and 238 pounds, just shy of the clinical obesity line, even as his physician said he remains in 'excellent health' and 'fully fit.' The report, issued by Dr. Sean Barbabella after a recent exam at Walter Reed, has revived familiar questions about the 79-year-old president's weight, age and stamina.
The news came after Trump's annual health updates have increasingly become public theatre as much as medical disclosure. He has long shrugged off concerns about his diet and activity levels, while aides have repeatedly tried to frame visible signs such as hand bruising and swollen ankles as routine or benign.
