Trump in ‘excellent health,’ according to his presidential fitness exam - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Smug Bastard;53059461]Can anyone [I]actually[/I] make a case for why Trump's medical report would he faked that isn't simply "Well, he doesn't [I]look[/I] healthy"?[/QUOTE] You mean besides the fact that he's known to lie about fucking [I]everything[/I]?

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;53059501]You mean besides the fact that he's known to lie about fucking [I]everything[/I]?[/QUOTE] I don't think the doctor would lie though, considering he's been attending presidents since 2013.

[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;53059239]Let me throw another wrench into this: [IMG]https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/images/2013/arnold-profile-1.jpg[/IMG] That puts him at a 30.2 "Obese" BMI So how is Cooper Helfet 6'3" and 239 in this picture: [media]https://twitter.com/potpourri72/status/953372578290188288[/media] with this physique? People's body compositions will vary. Fat isn't always stored subcutaneously and BMI is a bad tool used to measure body composition. By the way, Cooper Helfet is technically "Overweight", 2lbs away from being obese. This shows how preposterous the BMI scale is.[/QUOTE] The BMI scale works fine for non athletes. It just gets bad when you start applying it to athletes/bodybuilders

[QUOTE=PunishedMod;53059634]The BMI scale works fine for non athletes. It just gets bad when you start applying it to athletes/bodybuilders[/QUOTE] It doesn't really work for anyone with a non-average build. My max "optimal" weight would be too light for me. Even when I was in great shape playing sports in high school (not buff or anything, just fit) I weighed ~30lbs over.

[QUOTE=PunishedMod;53059634]The BMI scale works fine for non athletes. It just gets bad when you start applying it to athletes/bodybuilders[/QUOTE] No, it does not work "fine" for anyone. It does not tell you anything about overall health or body composition. Even variations in body frame could throw it off for normal people. Using body fat percentages as a metric would be lightyears better. But that's besides the point. The point was to illustrate clearly that people can have the same height and weight, and look drastically different depending on body composition. Trump could very well be 6'3" and in the 230s or 240s. Using comparisons to other people is a moot point because body composition will determine how a person looks more than BMI.

BMI isn't supposed to be used for individuals, it's a tool for statistical evaluation of entire populations. the outliers / people with atypical physiques are effectively random measurement error that equals out to net zero on a population scale. people just use it for individuals because it's quick and easy, and for a "typical" person will generally be within acceptable limits of error.

whatever. nobody will care if the right believe it or not when he inevitably keels over in a few years

Just based on his diet and lack of exercise I can't imagine he's too healthy.

[QUOTE=Swiket;53058178]I want to see Trump naked so badly.[/QUOTE] I'm also a fan of Lovecraftian horrors.

I wonder if this will entail changes in the presidential fitness exam? "Can you double-fist Diet Cokes and Big Macs? Yeah? Then you're gold fam"

I don't think his health is excellent but I don't think it's as bad as many want it to be. The dudes in his 70s. My grandpa was terribly unfit and obese. When you get to that age your health basically starts falling apart and being sorta healthy all things considered is pretty good. I think Trump's doing okay for someone who's 71 and has a diet like his. He obviously needs to work on fitness but at that age I'm not gonna criticize someone for having issues. Who cares if he's obese. Though I do think as we learn more about mental health that a full psychiatric exam should be part of every President screening given the stress and responsibilities of the job. That said I can't imagine what it's like to have your medical screenings aired publicly.

I might be more inclined to accept a full on medical committee's decision, with a dozen or so specialists. But I'll refrain from that since trumpets will just call it moving the goalposts.

Right after you freeze the chest in place and pull the ass into place, that's what it looks like.

This really doesn't work in favor of Trump. Being possibly senile is his only redeeming quality. If he's perfectly healthy, then the conclusion must be that he is legitimately and incomprehensibly retarded.
