President Donald Trump’s newest health assessment was released this and there’s HUGE cause for concern… but it doesn’t have anything to do with Trump.
It’s the mainstream media that’s sick.
The liberal media was quick to point out that Trump was technically rated “obese” based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declaration that a body mass index (BMI) of 30.0 or higher falls into that category.
But that same mainstream media said during the 2016 election that questioning former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s health was “sexist.”
Trump came in at 6’3”, weighing 243 pounds, a four pound gain from where he weighed on last year’s assessment.
Trump’s BMI was measured at 30.4.
Of course, Sean Conley — Trump’s doctor — said the commander-in-chief remains in very good health nonetheless. But that didn’t stop the liberal media.
Anti-Trump Twitter users were also quick to jump on the bandwagon —
I wonder how much it cost for Sean Conley to sell his soul? https://t.co/DwIEZIfH0E

The media’s portrayal of Donald Trump’s health has been nasty and unrelenting.

The insulting criticisms were even worse last year.
In January 2018, a horde of media warriors came out of the woodwork to speculate on Trump’s health. Many members of the media even openly mocked the president for his weight. Other reporters had doctors questioning Trump’s mental history.
Most notably Joe Scarborough of MSNBCs “Morning Joe” and CNNs Dr. Sanjay Gupta. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio mentioned that Trump’s actions suggested he wasn’t sane.
Of course, in the past when conservatives asked if Hillary’s health was okay, there was outrage and claims of sexism in the media.
Glamour claimed that it was offensive to even question that Clinton looked tired.
The same Hillary Clinton who fainted on a breezy, nice day at the 9/11 Memorial.
Who was treated for blood clots.
Who came down with pneumonia. Who has broken multiple bones from falls.
But the tide has turned; no one is making a peep about the amount of verbal abuse hurled at the president.
When will the media be held accountable for its insane anti-Trump bias?
