I have a little crush on Nicolle Wallace, so I turned on the tv yesterday afternoon around 3, and was disappointed to see that she had been kicked to the curb by the president's physician. But I got over it soon as the doctor started in on the tale of Trump's tape. Six-three, 239? This seemed to me . . . off. My suspicions were not allayed after playing around a little with an online BMI (body mass index) calculator. Plugging in the president's numbers yields a BMI of 29.9. If he weighed a pound more, his BMI would rise to 30.0. Were he an inch shorter, it would be 30.7. Interestingly, anything 30 or above is regarded as "obese."
Just floating the theory here that the numbers were jiggered to bring Trump in just under the wire. Those of us who are of a conspiratorial bent on this question call ourselves "girthers."
