Rules:

  1. Be civil. Disagreements happen, that does not give you the right to personally insult each other.

  2. No racism or bigotry.

  3. Posts from sources that aren't known to be incredibly biased for either side of the spectrum are preferred. If this is not an option, you may post from whatever source you have as long as it is relevant to this community.

  4. Post titles should be the same as the article title.

  5. No spam, self-promotion, or trolling.

Instance-wide rules always apply.

He's definitely more than 215 lbs. Dude's 6'3" and a chunker. He's easily pushing 240 lbs or he's not 6'3".

This is my first comment in the fediverse. I want to point out that I am a 6'4" man who at my heaviest was 245lbs and I did not look any where near as grotesque as this man. He's most definitely 250lbs+ possibly pushing 300lbs.

I saw this in a New York Times article from Feb. 14, 2019:

"The president was weighed last week as part of his annual physical, and is now at 243 pounds, according to Dr. Sean Conley, the White House physician, a four pound gain since last year’s physical. At 6 feet 3 inches tall, Mr. Trump now has a body mass index of 30.4. Anything over 30 is considered obese."

Yeah, they can be, but not this time.
