Recent photos of Donald Trump have sparked fresh debates about the former president’s health, with medical professionals expressing concern over his visibly slimmer appearance. The 77-year-old, known for his love of fast food and aversion to exercise, appears to have undergone significant physical changes in recent months. Images taken earlier this month show Trump looking noticeably leaner as he walked to Marine One, marking a stark contrast from his well-documented eating habits during his presidency.
While Trump’s supporters have praised his transformed physique, health experts warn that sudden weight loss at his age could indicate underlying medical issues. Dr. Daniel Atkinson, a British health expert, suggested the changes might not be entirely voluntary, stating that unintentional weight loss in older individuals often signals health complications. Of particular concern is Trump’s potential risk for diabetes, given his previous dietary patterns and family medical history.
The development comes years after Trump’s controversial 2020 physical exam where his physician declared him “in excellent health,” despite concerns about his cholesterol levels and weight. The former president famously boasted about avoiding exercise and regularly consuming McDonald’s meals during his White House years. While reports suggest Trump has quietly modified his diet and possibly consulted nutritionists, medical professionals caution that the visible changes warrant closer examination rather than celebration.
