TRUMP PUTS ON WEIGHT, BUT IN ‘ VERY GOOD HEALTH’ – DOCTOR

WASHINGTON, D.C.: President Donald Trump is technically obese and has put on weight since last year, but his official doctor declared him on Thursday to be in “very good health.” The presidential physician, Sean Conley, said Trump, 72, passed his medical exam last week with flying colors. In a statement, he said that “the president remains in very good health overall.” Trump, who has confounded health experts with his penchant for junk food and avoidance of strenuous exercise, weighs 243 pounds (110 kg), the report said. This is a little bulkier than the 239 pounds recorded last year, which was already considered too much. The resting heart rate has gone up too, at 70 beats a minute, compared to 68 beats last year. Trump has a history of high cholesterol and this year the dosage of his anti- cholesterol medicine Rosuvastatin was raised from a low 10mg a day to 40mg, Conley said. “There were no findings of significance or changes to report on his physical exam, including the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth/gums, heart, lungs, skin, gastrointestinal, and neurologic systems,” Conley’s medical summary said.
