1. Top photo doesn't show enough to be useful.

They must be out there.

Edit: I see you added a second, better photo, but best if the photo included their feet.

[rogue emissary]

4. Here's one that might do.

[greyl]

6. Yep, thanks! nt

[lagomorph777]

7. Geez, that shot is so perfect you could calibrate it.

Might as well have a little ruler on the wall, like the way parents mark the wall to measure kids' growth.

EDIT: OMG there is a world of fascinating shit going on in everybody's facial expressions and body language.

[L. Coyote]

9. Trump is wearing lift shoes.

[Wellstone ruled]

20. Sure as heck appears he is

wearing lifts. Someone posted a story some time back about Trump having special built Chairs that were two inches taller than others around Conference Tables as well as the desk chair in the Oval office as to male him the focal point in the room.

[fierywoman]

27. The Pope sits in a chair higher than the others (really.)

[Wellstone ruled]

38. Yes he does.

But Trump,what a fake.

[fierywoman]

26. I thought so too. Could explain why he doesn't want to walk anywhere,

(aside from lazyness!)

[Dave Starsky]

37. OMG. He IS wearing lifts!

You can tell by the way the middle of his foot is pointing downwards compared to his toes, which are flat. Compare how his feet look to Obama, who also has a slight lift from a normal shoe heel. Trump is wearing height-elevating shoes in this picture. His shoes have a built-up heel to make him seem taller.

[fierywoman]

39. Maybe that's why he locks his bedroom door in the White House 'cuz

he doesn't want the maid to see the lifts in his shoes?

[Dave Starsky]

42. It's one reason why he's afraid to walk down stairs.

I originally thought it was because he was having arthritis pain in his knees and he didn't want anyone to know. Now I see that it's because he's wearing high heels that pitch his center of gravity up and forward.

[misanthrope]

44. How can you tell from that shot?

You can see the toes well but the rest of the shoe is in the shadows. His shoes appear indistinguishable from President Obama's in that photo.

[lagomorph777]

11. This shot demands a caption contest.

Biden: Quit farting, Mike!
Pence: Hey, it was Barack, not me!

[apnu]

13. so 6'3" is bullshit too.

[triron]

14. Clearly no taller than Obama.

In fact he may be a bit shorter.

[fierywoman]

28. I'd say a hair under 6 feet.

[Quixote1818]

33. Trump was probably 6 foot 2, 20 years ago but has probably shrunk 1 to 2 inches.

He is certainly no taller than 6 foot 1 at best.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. The slob can't even be bothered to button his suit jacket or his overcoat.

Maybe that's because he can't?

[VOX]

19. He likes to show off his blazing-red pecker-duster...

Someday soon that necktie that #45 drags on the pavement is going to get tangled up in something— machinery, lighting, automobile doors...

As if that dolt would know.

[Kingofalldems]

21. That'll do.

[Dave Starsky]

25. Wow. That's like the rulers on the door at the 7-11.

Ain't no fucking way that guy is even 6'1". And he's got a full inch of... whatever that is... on top of his head.

[quartz007]

30. Depends on shoe height

Doctor's office does not make you take shoes off while taking weight and height measurements.

Some people wear taller heeled shoes than others.
So photographs are not final proof.

[BoneyardDem]

40. Melania HAS TO wear heels. Trump must wear lifts to be taller than her haa haa haa

and at 6'1" Obama looks taller than Trump. Which means, donald is obese

[SammyWinstonJack]

46. Is pence glaring at Michelle? What a creep he is

[guillaumeb]

2. Obama was standing on his integrity.

So naturally that gives him a big advantage.

[BoneyardDem]

3. Look at Trump's forearms in the last pic

he has absolutely no muscle tone whatso ever. Just flab over bone.

[sheshe2]

29. It also emphasizes his very very small hands!

[DetlefK]

5. The first pic has a bad perspective and in the second Trump is hunched.

I tried to measure Trump's height by comparing him to Melania's height. He really could be 6'3".

[pnwmom]

8. His NY drivers license said 6' 2. And he doesn't look taller than Obama

when they stand side by side -- in numerous pictures.

[DetlefK]

10. Posture matters a lot.

[Kingofalldems]

22. The sudden 6' 3" makes him not obese.

[Cha]

32. So much for Dr Jackson's reputation.

[DetlefK]

48. It's easier to fudge weight than to fudge a whole inch of height.

[MFM008]

12. They fudge an inch at least

To attempt to keep him out of the obese catagory.

[smirkymonkey]

15. He's so repulsive.

I am so tired of seeing his image everywhere, day after day. Everywhere you turn, there he is. And I don't even watch that much television, but screens are everywhere, even at work.

[Gothmog]

17. Juanita Jean-He Even got His Doctor to Lie

Trump and his doctor are lying about his height http://juanitajean.com/he-even-got-his-doctor-to-lie/

Following up on JJ’s earlier post: Trump even has to brag about his height. During the campaign, he boasted that he’s 6′ 3″. During the briefing on his health today, the doctor reported that he’s 6′ 3″. Oh, and that he weighs 239 lbs. At those stats, Trump’s body mass index (BMI) is 29.9 which classifies him as “overweight”. The BMI that would classify him as obese? 30. Trump’s driver’s license says that he’s 6′ 2″. I actually met him about 10 years ago during a pro-am golf tournament, and I can assure you he’s not 6′ 3″ and would be on his toes to be 6′ 2″.



It gets better. It gets a lot better. Jeb Bush actually IS 6′ 3″. Here’s a picture of Jeb and Trump side by side at one of the debates:

[Quixote1818]

31. Jeb is about 2 inches taller. Trump is probably 6' 1" NOT 6' 2". nt

[VOX]

18. That idiotic hair-piece-combover-whatever gives him the appearance of 2 extra inches...

And Obama kept his hair closely buzzed.

Just like everything about #54: A LIE.

[rurallib]

23. weighed and measured on Mars

so there were some gravitational differences

[Vinca]

24. In the late 60's I worked at a psychiatric hospital and there was an obese, elderly patient

who believed she was 18 years old and drop dead gorgeous. Don reminds me of her.

[erpowers]

34. Not Even 6'1"

According to those pictures and a few others that have been posted he is not even 6'1". It is getting harder and harder to take the doctor seriously. Based on some of the things he was saying at the press conference and the fact that he claimed that Donald Trump was 6'3" when it was easy to prove that information wrong it is beginning to seem that this doctor will say whatever the Trump Administration wants him to say.

[Kingofalldems]

35. Wouldn't be surprised if he is also being blackmailed.

Or was threatened to be busted down to captain.

[Dave Starsky]

43. Based on all of his pictures, he is between 6' and 6' 1".

But 6' 3"? No fucking way. That's crazy.

I know it seems like a dumb thing to talk about, but it is important. He is clearly lying about something so stupid as his height and weight, which we can all see is false. So why should we trust him on anything he says or does?

[Cryptoad]

36. If ShitholeNChief weighs 239 lb

I weigh 139 lb. He is 300+!

I guess that Naval Sawbones got big deposit in an off shore bank account!

[ProudLib72]

41. There's a buttmunch trumpy in that tweet thread

trying to 'splain it all away by comparing the weight of fat to muscle. "It's OK because my orange god is 239lbs of pure lard!"

[Ilsa]

45. The first picture should not be used.

Trump is further away from the camera and consequently, will look smaller in height and width. The second picture showsa better comparison of height, I think.

My guess is that DOTUS is about 6'1".

[DFW]

47. And if Trump is 239 pounds

Then I'm the Sultan of Brunei.
