Will president Trump break William Taft's record for the heaviest president?

[Badger]

It was pointed out in another thread on reports Trump returned from his overseas trip depressed and gaining weight from overeating. It was noted he already was a fat tub of lard to begin with and now he's got to be pushing by some estimates 320 lbs. I looked it up and historians guesstimate Taft's weight at anywhere from 320 up to 350 pounds.

Trump is likely knocking on the door of breaking Taft record, if perhaps he hasn't already, and he's apparently still over eating to make himself feel better. So will he do it?  Will he make America overate again ?

What do you think?

I could see it.

I wonder if he's stress eating, or just being a fatty because he can?

Yeah I saw the other thread, and this is being over exaggerated. He's not as big as you guys are saying.

Here are several estimates, none of which is anywhere near 300 pounds. Highest estimate is 260 as an upper range.

The Post's consensus is that the guy is around 255lbs. I suppose he could gain the extra 70 or so and break the record, but I doubt it.

I do think his health is probably far worse than we think it is.

Ha ha obesity.

He's a fat guy leading a fat country. Yawn.

I could see this if Chris Christie were successful in his run, but this isn't exactly my first choice to make fun of Trump on.

But, no. He probably won't break Taft's record.

My guess? "Yes."

who cares

trump isn't a bad president because he's fat, he's a bad president because he's the personification of rich white male entitlement

If Trump can't balance his daily Caloric intake, how can we expect him to balance the budget?

Oh, I know. I was just reading about Taft the other night and realized that if some of the weight estimates posters suggested were accurate he might actually surpass Fatty Taft. Alas, the articles linked by emailking convincingly indicate The Donald isn't near pushing 300 (yet).

Still, an article linked off of that one reminded me how this whole joke still manages to illuminate Trump's innate hypocrisy and sexism, not to mention total lack of self-awareness.
