Pelosi Says Trump Should Avoid Hydroxychloroquine Due to
His Weight Speaking to CNN, the
House Speaker referred to
Trump as "morbidly obese." Nancy Pelosi, via CNN Pelosi's comments come after Trump said
he was using hydroxychloroquine to
help ward off COVID-19. President
Donald Trump Last month, the FDA said that
the drug was not an effective option
for avoiding or treating coronavirus. According to a 2019 medical physical,
the president is listed at 243 pounds. On the CDC's Body Mass Index, this puts
the 73-year-old at 30.4, which puts
him in the area of "obese." A BMI above 40 would categorized
someone as "morbidly obese." According to 'USA Today,' the 6-foot-3-inch Trump has
high cholesterol, but no record of any heart issues.
