Here's a links to a photo of President Obama standing near the Girther. Obama measured out at 6' 1 1/2" in his physical.0and 175 lbs. I'm around that height and a shade under 230. I'd put tRump at 6' 2" and at least 260 lbs, as he looks heavier than I did when I weighed that much. I'm post another picture from the same session to give more information on height.

Those are tiny feet! How does he stand up?

(21,786 posts)but you lose about an inch or so of height with age because of compression of the discs between your vertebrae. Now I'd put him at 6'1" or even a little under.

(115,836 posts)if he was any shorter than that. I'm surprised he doesn't wear lifts in his shoes - or maybe he does? Poofing up his hair the way he does might also be an attempt to look taller, but only makes him look weird.

(36,827 posts)If he really was 6'3" (he ain't), and 235lbs (he ain't), he'd need to lose 35lbs to get just into the threshold of a normal BMI, yet the "doctor" said he could stand to lose 10-15lbs.
Trump isn't just obese, he's morbidly obese and you don't need to be a doctor to tell that just by looking at him.

(611 posts)He is slightly shorter than Obama, putting him at 6 ft. He looks to weigh 255 or more, much carried around his waist. He may wear 1 lifts, which are hard to detect.

(2,309 posts)He may even be a 1/2" taller at 6' 2"--but tRump sure doesn't look a whole 1" and 1/2" taller.

(16,254 posts)Obama is taller and a WHOLE lot smarter.
The dr. didn't measure him? My doctors all measure/weigh me each time I go in, not just for physicals. I'm shrinking. I'm 7 years older than Trump and a WHOLE lot smarter. Just sayin', but that isn't sayin' much.
I wonder if that McDonald's diet will get rid of arthritis in my feet. They apparently melted away Trump's bone spurs. Worth a try. Hot dang!

(34,476 posts)were that height. There is NO way he is 6'3". And he is probably wearing lifts in his shoes.

(11,304 posts)Okay I made that up but what the hell. Today seems to be a day to make shit up and then lie about it.

(14,565 posts)I was within feet of Trump several times at Doral in recent years so it was an easy comparison. He always had a golf hat but I was still taller.
I agree with the poster who said Trump was probably 6-2 at one point, but likely 6-1 now at age 71. That's very similar to my dad, who was 6-2 during his prime but before his death at age 79 was down to 6-0 1/2.
I was previously 6-4 but have started to compress and lost 1/4 inch so far.

(89,264 posts)and while they are close in height you can clearly see Romney is slightly taller than Obama . and that's only an inch difference.
so, no i can't see Trump's height actually being 6'3 .

(49,034 posts)Bush was clearly a few inches taller than Trump. I'm guessing Trump might have been 6'2" in his youth, and he's lost height due to his age.
