Same 6’-2” and I was in the 180s in college and looked and felt under weight. I hover around 205 now. Feel my optimal is 195-200. Which is over weight for my height.

I'm cool with that. I do think Nadler's more of the "traditional" mental picture of "obese". For Trump most everyone has to open a new tab and Google whether Trump's stats equal obese.

Perhaps these charts are right then, medically speaking.
We have started accepting overweight as healthy & obese as morbidly obese
I don’t think the charts are a perfect reference but we are too unhealthy in this country

Trump's BMI is 30.5 which classifies him as having stage 1 obesity. Sorry that you are not smart enough to realize that you do not have to be morbidly obese (aka stage III obesity) to be obese.
Why Does Media Keep Saying He Is Obese?
Is he really 6’4”? His New York drivers license said he was 6’2”. Does he really weigh only 244? I think not. I would guess 260-270.
It Is certainly true that BMI deals with averages, and it is likewise certainly true that there are people out there with a BMI in the 30s who are very fit and very healthy. Look at the picture above. Are you seriously going to argue that Trump is such a person?
None of which means he is on death’s door. But he IS at higher risk than someone with a BMI of 24.

Doesn't take into account body composition.
Just so you know.....your heart doesn’t know the difference.

If by "covered" you mean swept it under the rug, sure.
Look, it's ok to admit it. I admit he's obese; you can admit that the media is going to shite on him every chance they get and this is just another tool. One they wouldn't use if he was a Democrat. One they'd never use in a million years if we were talking about a female democrat.

The night 21 year old Mike Tyson knocked out Michael Spinks in 90 seconds he weighed in at 5'10 218-1/4. According to the BMI 5'10 would be overweight at 175 and obese at 209. The chart is worthless.
No doubt Trump is somewhat overweight but the BMI recommendations are pure soyboy bullshite.

No doubt about it bro. I dipped down into my "ideal" target range once and everyone was wondering what kinda drugs I'd gotten into. Complete bs.

I saw that video of her wobbling quite a bit. I'm not sure what you believe an appropriate amount of coverage would be.

I agree that there are quarters of the media that are happy to have this legitimate reason to shite on him by calling him obese.

If Trump were a long distance runner he would be considered obese. At 6’ 3” he’s about 25-30 lbs over his optimal weight if he were also exercising. I’m close to 6 ft tall and weigh 195, I’m about 10 lbs from my ideal weight.....damn craft beer. Lol!

Meh. Lettem have this one. Throw them a bone. Let's not be greedy and run the score up on these folks, know what I mean? It's the Christian thing to do.

And they're happy to ignore the fact that Biden can't do a Q&A session without leaked answers and a teleprompter. Relevant for the leader of the free world, I would think, but I'd bet "obese" is tracking at about 100:1 over "teleprompter".
Which means the reason they're mentioning it every other word is Trump, not medicine, not height weight charts, not COVID. Just Trump.

This. It's a medical term based on BMI, which is a formula based solely on height and weight.

BMI is a construct of the weight loss industrial complex
