Donald Trump was officially revealed to be overweight after the results of his physical were released on Tuesday.

But already some are questioning whether his true weight was provided following the examination, with some claiming the president must be heavier than his official 239 pounds weight.

Referencing Trump's old calls for his predecessor Barack Obama to release his birth certificate, dubbed the birther movement, critics of the president came up with a new hashtag - the girther movement.

Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn has already offered to donate $100,000 to a charity of Trump's choice if he steps on a scale.

WHAT IS THE BIRTHER MOVEMENT? The birther movement started in 2008 when Barack Obama first expressed his interest in running for president. It refers to claims by some critics that the president wasn't born in the United States. Throughout Obama's first term Trump fanned the flames of conspiracy theorists who believed Obama to be born in Kenya, forcing the White House's hand to release President Obama's long-form birth certificate in 2011.

He also tweeted pictures of baseball star Albert Pujols and Trump. Pujols is the same height but one pound heavier.

Plenty of others weighed in online, with more pictures of Trump posted on Twitter as people called his official weight into question.

It comes after Dr Ronny Jackson, the White House physician who also served Barack Obama, declared Trump to be in 'excellent health' but he advised him to improve his diet and exercise.

'He has a lot of energy and a lot of stamina,' Jackson said of the president.

According to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute and the CDC, Trump is teetering on the edge of obesity at 239 pounds and a height of 6ft 3 ins, giving him a BMI of 29.9 - making him officially overweight.

Some on Twitter also questioned whether his height was correct, as his New York driver's licence shows he is 6ft 2ins.

If he was 6ft 2ins, his BMI would be higher and see him narrowly fall into the official obese category.

The president is cognitively sound Dr Jackson concluded after giving Trump an assessment that screens for issues like Alzheimer's, saying that he believes the president to be mentally 'sharp' and 'intact.'

Yuge: Some pointed out that the examination claimed that Trump is 6ft3in, which would make him significantly taller than former President Obama at 6ft1 - but in photos the men are the same height

A white lie? Tweeter claimed that this alleged copy of Trumps' driver's license shows he is 6ft 2ins - not 6ft3in

Trump's cognitive assessment came at the president's request, Jackson told White House reporters during a televised briefing.

'I had absolutely no concerns about his cognitive ability or his – you know, his neurological function. So I was not going to do a cognitive exam. I had no intention of doing one,' Jackson recalled.

He scored a 30/30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test, Jackson said, and there was 'no indication that he has cognitive issues.'

'He's very sharp. He's very articulate when he speaks to me,' Jackson said.

Trump does not drink alcohol, he confirmed, does not use tobacco products and does not abuse drugs.

Trump is known to have indulged in McDonalds and other fast food on the campaign trail - but Jackson said he has changed his habits since becoming president and has been eating healthier

In terms of medications, he continues to take Propecia for male hair loss, one for Rosacea and a multivitamin.

President Trump had a weight of 239 pounds and a height of 75 inches, Jackson said, making him 6 feet 3 inches. That makes him overweight at best by industry standards. One pound heavier at the same height and Trump would be categorized as obese.

Trump said during the presidential campaign that he would like to lose some weight, although, by Jackson's assessment he's gained three pounds since the physical he shared on Dr Oz in the fall of 2016.

He does not have a dedicated or defined exercise program, Jackson admitted.

'We can build on that pretty easily,' he joked.

WHAT IS FINASTERIDE? TRUMP'S HAIR LOSS DRUG TIED TO ANGER, SELF HARM, ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION AND DEPRESSION BY MIA DE GRAAF FOR DAILYMAIL.COM The prostate-reducing drug that Donald Trump uses to treat hair loss has been linked to an increased risk of depression, self-harm and erectile dysfunction. Finasteride is a widely-used drug that reduces the size of prostate glands and stimulates hair growth - and is widely believed to be a significant factor affecting the president's low PSA (prostate) levels and thick mane. However, it has been tied to many severe and uncomfortable side effects. A research paper published in March 2017 by Western University in Ontario offered the first concrete evidence showing the pills' mental health risks, and appeared to confirm many medics' fears that it increases a risk of suicidal tendencies. The same week, a study by Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine found most study participants were left impotent for four years after taking Propecia (the brand name for finasteride). Finasteride, a widely-used drug that reduces prostate glands and stimulates hair growth, increased risk of depression by 94 percent in the first 18 months, a study by Western University found. Another study by Northwestern University found it causes erectile issues Finasteride belongs to a class of medications known as 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (5ARIs). 5ARIs have come under increasing scrutiny in recent years by regulators in the United States and Canada because of a possible link to mental health issues, according to the researchers. Finasteride was originally developed to treat urinary problems in men. Studies showed the drug made prostate glands smaller by reducing the levels of the hormone dihydrotestosterone in participants. But during the clinical trials, scientists saw an unexpected side effect - hair growth. And so in 1997, the FDA approved the steroid inhibitor as the first ever drug to treat male pattern baldness. Taken once a day, the drug is mainly sold under the brand name Propecia. Millions of American adults use the pills, which are proven to be 90 percent effective. In February 2017, Donald Trump's doctor Harold Bornstein revealed the president takes a small dose of finasteride to stimulate hair growth. Bornstein told the New York Times that he, too, takes the drug, saying it helped him keep his shoulder-length locks and helped Trump keep his own hair. The doctor said: 'He has all his hair. I have all my hair.' The news that Trump takes finasteride explained why his PSA (prostate specific antigen, produced for the cells by the prostate) is so low. Finasteride reduces PSA levels to reduce swelling of prostate glands. Men aged 60-69 normally have between 4.0 and 5.0ng/ml. That is higher than younger men since PSA and testosterone levels rise with age. The number may be lower than usual if a man has prostate cancer or inflammation, causing more PSA to seep into the bloodstream. Trump's PSA level was 0.15, Bornstein said in two letters he'd written about Trump's health. The first letter came out in December 2015, followed by the other letter in September 2016. The level prompted urologists - who weren't linked to Trump - to say he had to have received care for an enlarged prostate or prostate cancer. Bornstein told the Times that the commander-in-chief hasn't had an enlarged prostate nor prostate cancer, and attributed Trump's PSA level to Propecia. LINKS TO MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES The researchers at Western University examined finasteride and dutasteride, another 5ARI. 'There wasn't a lot of good studies in this area, and it's a very common medication for urologists to use,' said lead author Dr Blayne Welk. Welk's team analyzed data from 93,197 men who were at least 66 years old when they received prescriptions for 5ARIs between 2003 and 2013, plus another 93,197 similar men who had never filled a prescription for a 5ARI. Overall, 5ARIs were not linked with an increased risk of suicide, the researchers reported in JAMA Internal Medicine. During the first 18 months, however, the men using 5ARIs had an 88 percent higher risk of harming themselves. That risk did not extend beyond 18 months. Men in the 5ARI group also had a 94 percent higher risk of depression in the first 18 months, compared to men not using these drugs. Beyond 18 months, the increased risk of depression fell to 22 percent. The type of 5ARI did not appear to significantly alter the results. Welk cautions that the actual risk of depression and self-harm is very low. If the drugs were actually causing these side effects - which this study wasn't design to prove - 'you'd need 470 men to take this medication for a full year to have a new case of depression,' Welk said. That number would have to be even higher to cause a new case of self-harm, since self-harm is less common than depression. 'It is a risk potentially and patients and physicians should be aware of it,' Welk said. ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION RISKS A separate study in the journal PeerJ evaluated another concern about 5ARIs - erectile dysfunction. Drs Tina Kiguradze and William Temps of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago and colleagues found that when erectile dysfunction occurred in men taking 5ARIs for at least 180 days, the dysfunction was more likely to last at least 90 days after stopping the medication. Erectile dysfunction, when it occurred, resolved faster in men who took the medications for shorter periods. The proportion of men taking 5ARIs and experiencing erectile dysfunction is likely around 5 percent, according to Dr. Landon Trost, who is head of andrology and male infertility at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. But it's not clear how many men suffer persistent erectile dysfunction after stopping 5ARIs, said Trost, who was not involved with either of the new studies. 'I think it's important to be educated about the potential side effects,' he said. Men who are already at increased risk for these potential side effects must weigh the risks and benefits of the drugs, Trost said. He said older men taking 5ARIs for prostate problems might come to different conclusions than young men taking the pills for hair loss. Additionally, he said, men should tell their doctors if they experience these symptoms. Advertisement

Trump is known to have indulged in McDonalds and other fast food on the campaign trail - but Jackson said he has changed his habits since becoming president and has been eating healthier

The White House physician released detailed health reporting about Trump on Tuesday

Among Dr. Ronny Jackson's findings were that Trump had normal neuro-physiology and a perfect score on a standard cognitive function screening test

Dr. Jackson says Trump's 'overall health is excellent' and that he's fit to serve in the Oval Office

Jackson said he will recommend a low-impact exercise routine like a stationary bike for him.

Trump also plays frequent rounds of golf, which Jackson said contains a 'certain amount' of exercise.

Jackson said he did not check to see if Trump had bone spurs, a condition that warranted a draft deferment in Vietnam, only because the president did not bring it up as an ailment and he was pressed for time.

Despite his sedentary lifestyle, Jackson gave Trump a glowing review after spending several hours with him on Friday, saying that life-long abstinence from tobacco and alcohol had contributed to his good health.

'He has incredibly good genes,' Jackson also said. 'That's the way God made him.'

Jackson further said that Trump does not have a drug addiction of any type.

Trump is known to have indulged in McDonalds and other fast food on the campaign trail - but Jackson said he has changed his habits since becoming president and has been eating healthier.

On Air Force One, for instance, Jackson says he's watched Trump eat the meals that everyone else does on the plane, and they tend to be on the healthier side, with the exception of the desserts.

As far as sleep is concerned, Jackson said he believes that Trump only rests for four - five hours a night, which he considers to fine in the president's case.

'He's probably been that way his whole life,' Jackson said. 'That's probably why he's been successful'.

HOW DID TRUMP'S PHYSICAL COMPARE TO A STANDARD CHECK-UP? Donald Trump underwent a thorough catalog of exams for his annual medical check-up last week. It is not uncommon for an over-65-year-old to receive a more intense assessment than younger Americans, but given the high stakes he was given some tests which are not usually rolled out in a standard physical. Most Americans would need to prove they have a real risk of certain neurological or cardiovascular conditions in order to get a free MRI scan, CT scan or EKG (heart scan) free on their insurance. Uninsured patients would have to pay between $500 and $3,000 for an EKG, between $400 and $8,000 for an MRI, and around $9,000 for a CT scan. WHAT IS A STANDARD TEST FOR MEN OVER 65? Typically, a man over 65 on Medicaid can expect to get: a lung screening using a low-dose computed topography scan, which is cheaper and less precise, though accepted as precise enough to spot major issues (once a year for smokers);

abdominal ultrasound;

colonoscopy and endoscopy (every five years);

blood pressure screening (once a year);

cholesterol screening (every five years if normal);

diabetes screening (every three years);

dental exam (once a year);

eye exam (every one to two years);

hearing test (once a year);

flu shot (once a year);

BMI assessment (once a year);

Depression screening (once a year). WHAT EXTRAS DID THE PRESIDENT GET? The clinicians at the Walter Reed Medical Center said they carried out the further tests given the high stakes and questions regarding the president's mental health. They also already knew he had calcium deposits in his lungs. And, as they told reporters, they had the budget and facilities to use more extensive testing. Donald Trump's screening involved: 1. COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT The 10-minute test, known as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), was created in 1996 for medical professionals to identify mild cognitive dysfunction. It assesses concentration, attention, memory, language, calculations, orientation, executive functions and visual skills. Trump scored 30 out of 30. A score above 26 is deemed 'normal,' while anything lower than that is cause for concern. Those who do well on the test do not need further cognitive examinstion. The average score is 27.4. People with mild cognitive impairment score an average of 22.1, while Alzheimer's patients tend to score around 16. First used in Montreal, Canada, the test is now one of the most respected methods of assessing cognitive health worldwide, available in 55 languages and dialects, and formats for testing illiterate patients and in other cultural settings (by changing certain references). Trump is the first U.S. president to undergo the test as part of his presidential physical. 2. TRANSTHORACIC ECHOCARDIOGRAM The test uses ultrasound imaging to monitor how well both ventricles - the two muscular chambers - of the heart are working and how much blood each is able to pump in real time, as the heart beats. Ultrasound sends pulses of sound into the body. As they reflect of of soft and hard tissues, they bounce back to a probe outside the body. An ultrasound machine then uses the information gathered from the sound pulses to create an image of internal structures. The test is noninvasive and performed at a patient's bedside. Technicians can watch how the heart is functioning in real time, or take still images to assess the shapes and sizes of parts of the heart more carefully. The test can also reveal signs of heart disease and deterioration in the walls separating the heart's chambers. Images taken from the echo show how strong the heart is and how much blood each ventricle is able to pump. Watching the heart pump can indicate to a technician or doctor if the heart's contractions are too weak, poorly timed, not contracting or contracting too much. If the echo reveals an enlarged heart or one with thickened walls, there may be greater risks to overall cardiac health. Depending on how hard the heart appears to be working at rest, doctors may prescribe diet and exercise to strengthen the organ. Trump's official physician Rear Admiral Dr Ronny Jackson said that the president's heart health was 'excellent,' but prescribed him a better diet and an aerobic exercise plan. Exercise can improve the heart's efficiency by strengthening the muscles that pump blood through the body. The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise, or 75 minutes a week of intense exercise. A better diet would help lower the president's cholesterol and blood pressure, meaning his heart would not have to work as hard. 3. CT SCAN FOR CALCIUM IN HIS LUNGS President Trump's Friday medical assessment included a CT scan to check the president's internal health. Because they create a composite out of multiple X-ray images, CT scans allow doctors to view the inside of any part of the body from multiple angles and in greater detail than with regular X-rays or other imaging technologies. The clinicians at the Walter Reed Medical Center already knew that Trump had calcium deposits in his lungs. The CT scans' advanced imaging allowed them to see if there were any worrisome changes to the deposits, as well as to get a clear look at all of the president's vital organs. A CT scan, or computerized tomography, takes many detailed X-ray images of cross sections of the body. To undergo a CT scan, a patient lies down inside a large box-like machine with a rotating set of X-ray imaging machines surrounding them. The X-rays pass through the body, and their patterns - as they come into contact with different kinds of tissues in different places - are recorded on special plates. The scan can capture images of bones, blood vessels and soft tissues. The imaging test is used to look for signs of a broad range of conditions and diseases including cancers, blood vessel disorders, abdominal and pulmonary problems and bone issues, especially in the spine or delicate hands and feet. CT scans are particularly useful for detecting problems in soft tissues, like the lungs. Rear Admiral Dr Ronny Jackson, the president's official physician, said that Trump was already aware of the deposits, which are growing slowly as the 71-year-old ages, meaning that they are not a cause for concern. Calcium can build up anywhere in the body, and these areas are typically not themselves dangerous to health, but can be a sign of more serious underlying conditions. They sometimes develop in the aftermath of infections. Advertisement
