Trump is maybe 6'1 with his shoes on.

(1,461 posts)Donald Trump and his doctor claim hes 6-foot-3, but his New York drivers license says hes actually an inch shorter. A copy of Trumps license, obtained by POLITICO through an open-records request, lists the president-elect at 6-foot-2.
It may just be an inch, but size apparently matters to Trump. A letter that the businessman candidate displayed this summer from his longtime gastroenterologist while appearing on the Dr. Oz show stated he was 6-foot-3, though media reports were quick to point out discrepancies.
Slate, for example, posited that Trump was adding an inch to his height to avoid crossing into obesity territory he also weighed 236 pounds on the BMI index. That Slate article pointed to multiple media that pegged Trump as 6-foot-2, including Google, though the search engine now has Trump at 6-foot-3. A special edition of Time published earlier this year profiling Trump also listed him at 6-foot-3 while noting it irritates him that so many media outlets say 6-foot-2.
The Trump transition did not respond to a request for comment about the height listed on his drivers license, which was issued May 3, 2012, and expires on June 14, 2020: his 74th birthday and just less than five months before the next presidential election. His license is a Class D permit, the most common one for the states drivers, and comes with no additional safety restrictions.

(1,461 posts)I am 183 cm, (around 6 feet) tall, so I could tell pretty quickly how tall he was if I was near him (and in flats or trainers, not in heels, as then I would tower over him, lolol).
Most everything, literally almost everything, about the POS is a lie, so am I am sure his height is BS too.
It is insane that a person who is so fake, so dishonest, so utterly corrupt ever got even a whiff, a sniff of remotely even qualifying for the Rethug primaries, let alone winning the POTUS.
