Bill Clinton is 6'2" and was 246 pounds at one point.  That is obese.
I'd argue differently. Someone like William Howard Taft, or Chris Christie is obese. Someone like Bill Clinton or Donald Trump is overweight, but not obese.

Yea Christie and Taft are fat enough to need to drive around the grocery store on a scooter, Trump or Clinton not so much.

If your BMI is over 30, then you are obese... even more so if it is 35. This isn't the best method, but for our purposes here, it does the job.

Then Shaq in his prime must have been obese if your just basing obesity on what someone's BMI was .

I think Shaq (and most athletes) might just have a bit more muscle than Trump.

Maybe he is on to something. Maybe Trump is just cultivating mass.

And in 90% of caaes, its true. Even with perfect diet and exercise, maybe you will be 10% above your BMI weight at 25.
That's a 6 foot man being  200 at 8 or 9% Body Fat.

Trump has been on a 71 year bulking cycle. He will now start to cut fat, and win the the 2020 Mr Olympia as well as the presidency in landslides.

Image wasn't as important back then as it is now. I can't see a fat ever getting elected now.

I am laughing way too much at the phrase "a fat."

Would we ever elect a fat who is also a poor as president?

The fact that someone called "Zyzz", who seems to have risen from the dead, made such a comment criticizing fat people makes me laugh.
