All the wild Trump well being claims elevating alarm – from ‘mangled hand’ to weight fears

Donald Trump is facing a relentless barrage of health rumours as doctors, online sleuths and healthcare experts dissect everything from his waistline to his brain function. The 80-year-old US Commander-in-Chief has seen his physical and mental fitness thrust under the microscope following a string of worrying public appearances.

Health experts are ringing alarm bells over Trump’s waistline after a report by The Washington Post claimed the President has piled on 23 pounds in three years.

The fast-food-loving leader reportedly weighed approximately 238 pounds at his May physical exam – up 14 pounds from last year and 23 pounds heavier than his 215-pound listed weight when he was arrested in Georgia in 2023.

Dr. Scott Kahan, director of the National Center for Weight and Wellness, warned that addressing his obesity should take priority similar to “ensuring Secret Service protections for his life”.
