Someone here said they wanted the height/weight from the arrest

Sports world has hilarious reactions to Donald Trump’s weight

As part of the booking process, Trump’s measurements were taken. While the former President has long tried to overplay his height and underplay his weight, the reality was revealed on Tuesday. Trump came in at 6’1″ and 270 pounds.

6'1" @ 270lbs. isn't what Dr Ronny told us. He's in the House.

You made a pun of a diagnosis of morbid obesity equating fat people to beasts. You may want to read up on the statistics. Good luck to you and yours.

Aloha also means goodbye.

If I wanted to fudge my numbers to show I wasn't obese, without being any more obviously fraudulent than absolutely necessary, I'd shoot for a 29.9 BMI.

and said that the tangerine traitor tot could live to be 200, so, probably not the most reliable source.

But at least that ridiculous lie meant that he got the job of Secretary of Veteran's Affairs, oh wait... no he didn't.

He appeared to be close to 300 pounds at his heaviest… Sitting in the Oval Office, eating Quarter Pounders and playing big shot.

Clearly, he lied on this one too. If he gave these numbers from the start, I wouldn’t of cared one way or the other. I honestly don’t like it when we put down the other side because of their weight or looks—I think we should be focused on evil policies when they exist. And character. And truth telling. Both of this guy falls down on.

And again this is where if he just keeps his mouth shut there's no problem.

He's just not capable of that.

Geez, I thought it was stupid when guys lied about their height when I was 13, and I was one of the littler guys.
This guy is 76 and still lies about his height & weight.
It's not just a lie, but a pathetically juvenile lie.
