I am going to start by saying I am short, used to be 5'2" but as we age....

I bet Putin is touchy about being short...I want to see a photo of him standing between Joe Biden and the Swiss President. I do not think Putin would like that. It would be a interesting image.

1. I was a proud 5'3"...not anymore...

5'1 and disappearing...I refer to myself as a "shrunk"... Putin is very much aware of optics...I would be surprised if there is a standing side by side without a middleman photo op...more than likely he'll be seated...

2. Wow, great point

I looked it up and found informal photos where Putin is much smaller than Trump. But, in formal photos, he seems actually taller. Did Putin convince Trump to let him stand on a block? That would be interesting since Trump is also fixated on his height. (I am also not concerned about height, nor am I a narcissistic dictator). But, your point is interesting if Trump “bowed” to Putin.

4. The Helsinki photo where Chump is all slouched over

... remember that one? I think they were standing on steps and Pootie was actually on a higher step than Chump. It looked ridiculous to those of us who knew that Putin is short. But probably a lot of people were fooled.

5. It's not just the height illusion, it's the body language.

Putin's attitude says he's got Trump on a short leash and Trump's attitude says yep, he does.

6. Trump looks like a whipped puppy.
