Donald Trump has previously spoken out regarding his attitude toward his health. Back in 2016, Trump sat down for an appearance on “The Dr. Oz Show” and talked about his then-recent physical amid his presidential campaign. Dr. Oz read notes from the physical, which recorded Trump’s height as 6’3” and weight at 236 pounds, per The Guardian. “I think I could lose a little weight,” Trump said. “I’ve always been a little bit this way.” He added, “It’s tough because of the way I live, but the one thing I would like to do is be able to drop 15, 20 pounds.”
Per a video posted to Twitter, Trump later addressed this interview in 2022 during a speech he delivered at an event. “Dr. Oz said, ‘You should lose weight.’ I said, ‘I don’t have time to lose weight,'” Trump said. In 2019, ABC News reported that Trump’s weight was measured as 243 pounds in a White House physical exam before detailing that, as a result, his Body Mass Index would have been “considered obese” at 30.4. Following the physical, White House physician Sean Conley said, “It is my determination that the President remains in very good health overall.” In addition, there “were no findings of significance or changes to report on his physical exam,” according to the report.
