Donald Trump has undergone his first physical examination as part of his second term in office, bragging about his health and about scoring 30 out of 30 on the cognitive test, getting every single question right.
However, despite the results of the examination the White House released, which show he “exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health making him fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State,” new photos of the president raised concerns about his well-being.
Namely, photos of him released recently show that he has lost a significant amount of weight.
He was spotted making his way towards Marine One when the shots were taken.
Since 2022, Trump has lost an impressive 30lbs (2st).
In the past, he spoke of his fondness of McDonald’s and fast food, as well as of diet cokes and well done steaks, but it appears that he has changed his lifestyle and his diet.
However, as much as his supporters are happy for his new looks, Dr. Daniel Atkinson believes Trump’s slim figure could be a red flag for deeper health concerns.
According to the Irish Star, Dr. Atkinson said that individuals of Trump’s age are at a higher risk of health problems, including diabetes.
“For a hypothetical person, who has taken on the office of President of the United States for a second term, at the age of 80, there might be several factors that could affect their weight,” the doctor argued.
“An almost 80 year old with a busy schedule might be more susceptible to certain conditions that can cause weight loss. Diabetes, for instance, can trigger weight fluctuations when the condition is uncontrolled. Blood sugar can become more difficult to regulate as we age, and insulin resistance can develop with age.”
This, of course, doesn’t mean Trump has diabetes.
It just suggests one of the possible reasons for his weight loss.
The White House hasn’t made any comments regarding the health of Donald Trump following the emergence of the photos. They did, however, stated he did well on his physical and cognitive examination.
