The results of  President Trump’s  first formal medical exam since taking office were announced Tuesday  and the big news was that the physician involved  Navy Rear Adm. Ronny L. Jackson  said the 71-year-old president received a perfect score on a cognitive test. However  other announced results were also of interest  particularly to those who couldn’t help but notice that  Trump  was listed at 6-3 and 239 pounds.
Adding to some online observers’ skepticism that Trump’s measurements were accurate was the fact that 239 pounds  at 6-3  conveniently put his body mass index at 29.9 — just below the 30.0 threshold for him to be officially described as obese  rather than merely overweight. In any event  plenty of Internet users were happy to juxtapose photos of the president with those of athletes with similar listed heights and weights.

In fairness  those athletes have much more weight in sculpted muscle than Trump  whose body mass is distributed just a bit differently (also in fairness: this out-of-shape author is no one to talk). Jackson said that he has a goal for the president of losing 10-15 pounds through a regimen of diet and exercise  telling reporters  “He’s more enthusiastic about the diet part than the exercise part  but we’re going to do both.”
In general  though  Jackson was upbeat about Trump’s physical condition  prompting questions about how a septuagenarian man with such seemingly poor habits  including little apparent exercise apart from golfing (while driving in carts) and an affinity for greasy fast food  could fare so well in a thorough examination. “It’s called genetics ” the physician replied with a shrug.

Nevertheless  some took issue not just with the president’s listed weight  but his height  as well. Photos were posted comparing  Trump   at a purported 6-3  to  his  predecessor  Barack Obama  who was listed at 6-1.
According to  Rear Admiral Ronny L. Jackson  Trump  is 75 inches tall. That's 6'3". Obama is listed as 6'1". pic.twitter.com/1SAq7keoBP — Alamo_on_the_rise (@AlamoOnTheRise) January 17  2018
Here are  more photos of allegedly 6 foot 3 Trump with 6 foot 1 Obama .  They ’re at best the same height. pic.twitter.com/xNrvaKgrub — John Aravosis (@aravosis) January 17  2018
Jackson  who has been the lead White House doctor since 2013 and oversaw two of Obama’s physicals  told media members Tuesday that 12 other doctors consulted on  Trump ’s examination  which lasted more than three hours. Before he spoke  White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders read a letter from former longtime White House physician Richard J. Tubb  who trained Jackson and vouched for his integrity.
