Donald Trump's medical examination has sparked online skepticism, dubbed the 'girther movement', as questions were raised over the measurements given for his height and weight.

In his annual health check, the US president's official weight was given as 239 pounds (17 stone) and his height as 75in (6ft3), which classes him as medically overweight but just shy of obese.

However, the White House doctor's claim that Mr Trump is in "excellent" health has prompted online mockery in the form of the Twitter hashtag '#girther'.

The online movement, which questions whether Mr Trump's true weight was provided, echos the 'birther' conspiracy theory Mr Trump led over Barack Obama's birth records.

Mr Trump alleged that Mr Obama was born in Kenya and was therefore not eligible to be a US president.
