Should Donald Trump’s weight be an election issue?

Social media went wild after Thursday’s show showed Fallon giving Mr. Trump a free pass – not issuing a single “real” question about real issues and seemingly pandering to a man many have accused of being racist, sexist, xenophobic and so many other bad things.

It also said an EKG and chest X-ray this year were normal. Instead Trump says he gets his exercise by appearing at campaign rallies.

The note revealed that Trump has a cholesterol level of 169 and blood pressure of 116/70. During the interview, Mr. Trump said he backs the use of Medicaid to help provide health coverage for those who can’t afford to purchase plans from private health insurers, according to the article.

Trump is overweight, with a body mass index of close to 30 and he has said he needs to lose 15 to 20 pounds, according to various news reports. In addition, he had a colonoscopy in 2013 and a transthoracic echocardiogram to examine his heart in 2014, both of which were normal.

The doctor also stated that Trump is in “excellent physical health”.

Trump takes a statin, used to lower levels of cholesterol, and a baby aspirin.

“You’re 6’3″, 236 lbs.as I mentioned”, Oz said. “Do your doctors or your family ever give you a hard time about your weight?” In March of 2006, the Republican presidential candidate told “The View” co-hosts, “I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her”. I think he gets it now. “I say something, rather than the media asking me about it, rather than saying, ‘Hey Don, were you talking about the Holocaust?’ – they jump to, ‘oh my God!” you were talking about the Holocaust”. “It’s tough because of the way I live”, he added. A study conducted by a team of researchers from UCLA earlier this year revealed that the correlation between BMI and actual healthiness isn’t as clear as initially believed.

Donald Trump Jr. sought on Thursday to clarify his remark that the media would be “warming up the gas chamber” if the Republican Party behaved the same way as the Democrats during the USA presidential campaign, saying it was a reference to capital punishment, not the Nazi-led Holocaust.
