Trump or JD? I don't know many overweight 70 yo men. They don't seem to have much longevity....

God he is fat. Yeah, I don't know many fatties over 70 either. He'd better hope there's an AED near the oval office.

Tall, fat and old....not a good combo. He needs to lose some weight fast. He may not make it through his impeachment at this rate.

Non drinker, non smoker, billionaire, POTUS....those should factor in to a net plus I believe.
The cardiovascular system doesn't care how much money you have. Another most incredible piece of chocolate cake ever here, an extra scoop of ice cream there and next thing you know it's MI time.

If you look at how long POTUSes (and FLOTUSes) have been living the last half century or so it's pretty impressive. I don't know if it's just a coincidence or what. Nixon low 80s, Ford & Reagan over 90, Carter & Bush Sr over 90 and still going.

I think Trump's dad lived into his 90s so he's got genetics going for him.

How long did Taft live? 72 We haven't had an overweight President in my lifetime. We do now.

Of the last 18 POTUSes and FLOTUSes (the last 9 POTUSes and their wives, not including Trump), only one has died younger than age 80 (LBJ, age 64) and only three have died before age 90 (LBJ and both Nixons in their early 80s).

Eight made it to over 90 (LBJs wife, both Fords, Jimmy Carter, both Reagans, both Bush Srs) and one more turns 90 in about six weeks (Rosalyn Carter).

If you limit it to the last 7 POTUSes, back to Ford, and assume Rosalyn Carter makes it another six weeks then 8 of the 14 made it to 90 and all other 6 are still going.

It's been almost 45 years since either a POTUS or a FLOTUS died at a younger than average age (LBJ in Jan 1973)
