There are many things up for debate regarding Donald Trump, but one thing is sure — he lost a remarkable amount of weight in a relatively short time. Photos of Trump from late 2023 show him flaunting a significantly more svelte frame than in the past. So, how did Trump manage to achieve his great slim-down? Well, an overall picture has been painted, but the details remain somewhat fuzzy, to say the least.
In November 2023, 45’s physician claimed his patient had done it the good old-fashioned way. “President Trump has reduced his weight through an improved diet and continued daily physical activity while maintaining a rigorous schedule,” Dr. Bruce Aronwald, a New Jersey osteopath, wrote in a one-page report. “His physical exams were well within the normal range, and his cognitive exams were exceptional.” Aronwald concluded that Trump “will continue to enjoy a healthy active lifestyle for years to come.”
Given Trump’s well-documented love of fast food, the claims of healthy living raised eyebrows. Trump’s regularly been snapped chowing down on fatty fare while jetting around the globe in his private plane. In May 2016, he was photographed tucking into a McDonald’s burger and fries. Then, in August 2016, Trump posted a photo of himself on X, formerly known as Twitter, scarfing a bargain bucket of KFC. “Great afternoon in Ohio & a great evening in Pennsylvania — departing now. See you tomorrow, Virginia!” Trump captioned the pic.
