You can see it better in the group foto.

Trump is maybe 6'1 with his shoes on.

3. Trump's driver's license casts doubt on height claims

https://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/trump-drivers-license-height-232948

Donald Trump and his doctor claim he’s 6-foot-3, but his New York driver’s license says he’s actually an inch shorter. A copy of Trump’s 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 driver’s 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 state’s drivers, and comes with no additional safety restrictions.

I mean, have you ever actually been measured when you get your license. I can't remember it. They just asked me. I suppose if I had said something 6-8 inches off, they might have questioned it, but

8. I would guess he is around 6 feet 1 inch or so

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.

Ivanka. Ivanka is at the epicentre of his global crime syndicate, especially the money laundering through dodgy condo sales. She needs big daddy to pardon her if the Fed's bring charges. Hopefully she ends up in a supermax via state of NYC convictions.

Does anyone remember Monchichi, the monkey doll with the thumb that you could put in its mouth? That's what he reminds me of.
