Political commentator David Frum mocked President Trump's appearance on Sunday.
"Donald Trump was the oldest president ever, one of the fattest presidents ever, the least physically capable president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt was in a wheelchair," the staff writer for the Atlantic said on CNN. "He can't pick up a ball, never mind throw it."
Frum's comments came during a panel discussion on how Trump, 73, and other politicians use social media and other digital channels to push false or misleading information.
"It has an effect also on people's affirmative ideas," Frum said. "One of the things that Donald Trump tried to spread in 2016 was the idea that Hillary Clinton was somehow physically incapable of managing the presidency. I mean, it's audacious."
Frum, who was a speechwriter for President George W. Bush, called Clinton "a very vigorous woman in good health."
The results from Trump's latest physical exam earlier this year showed the president to be in "very good health overall" but obese.
Visited a great family of a young man under major surgery at the amazing Walter Reed Medical Center. Those are truly some of the best doctors anywhere in the world. Also began phase one of my yearly physical. Everything very good (great!). Will complete next year.
