But earlier disclosure throws shade over his health
“The Healthiest Ever”?
According to the study Extra Bladet at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington DC, where Trump has also been checked out in the past.
According to the AFP news agency, the 78-year-old president often plays golf, stays from both alcohol and cigarettes, but in turn has a known penchant for fast food and cooked steaks.
This is not the first time Trump’s health is up for debate. Back in 2018 – during his first period of tenure – it said after an study that he should lose weight between 4.5 and 6.8 kilos, but otherwise had « excellent » health. His doctor also claimed that Trump showed no signs of cognitive problems and that, with a healthier diet, he could « live until he turned 200 ».
The following year, a new report showed that the president had gained 3.2 kilos and thus technically was overweight with its 110 kilos and a height of about 190 cm. He was also put in cholesterol -lowering treatment.
Already during the 2015 election campaign, his health attracted attention when his then doctor Harold Bornstein wrote that Trump would be « the healthiest person ever elected to the presidential post ». Later, however, Bornstein admitted that the famous health letter had been dictated by Trump himself.
