It struck me as odd that the president would release a medical report with height and weight numbers that are pretty clearly a lie. I mean, why risk being caught just to make yourself a bit taller and a bit lighter? What would be worth the risk of getting caught?
Trump’s body mass index, or BMI, of 29.9 puts him in the category of being overweight for his height. A BMI of 30 and over is considered obese.
So to avoid being classified as “obese,” all our vain and attention-starved president had to do was nudge his height up and his weight down to get him just under the obesity line.
