(130,538 posts)He's just making a bigger ass of himself by claiming to be something he obviously isn't. If you claim to be 50 - 60 lbs. lighter than you really are, you aren't fooling anyone but yourself. He really is one sorry specimen.

trump is six-feet at best, maybe 5'11" and 1/2, and very close to 300 lbs.

Here's Trump with Hershel Walker who is officially 6'1
Without knowing the dimensions of Trumps shoes... how much lift... it's hard to estimate.

(21,902 posts)Romney and Biden appear to have not shrunk at all (or very little), while Trump has. I have no doubt that Trump as once 6'2 or 6'3. I met him in 1991, and he was at least 3" taller than me (I'm 5'11).
brush
(61,033 posts)trump was never 6'3". Why do you think he wore the lifts...to appear to be that height. He's probably about 6'.
Polybius
(21,902 posts)I know a few who rounded up rather than down. Not sure about now but but maybe 6'1, or 6'0 1/2.
What's odd is that he's indisputably taller than average, which is 5'9. Almost everyone who wears lifts a lot is short. Trump's an oddball for sure.
brush
(61,033 posts)Without the lifts he probably a couple of inches shorter.
Polybius
(21,902 posts)But at one time he was legit 6'2.
brush
(61,033 posts)At 6'2", which is quite tall, there's no reason to wear lift as you'd be taller then most people, or about as talk...except basketball players...and some basketball players aren't even that tall.
Polybius
(21,902 posts)If you put huge lifts on me to make be 3" taller, I'd look like a 5"11 guy on stilts. I think he started wearing lifts when he shrunk a bit, maybe in his 60's.
Ms. Toad
(38,643 posts)She is 91 (so on average she would have lost 2.5" at .5"/decade after 40). She has lost more than that due to disc degeneration.
No opinion on Trump's height - just providing a personal perspective on what is possible.

(61,033 posts)which evens it out.

(6,331 posts)Probably why he stands with a forward lean.
ecstatic
(35,075 posts)That is absolute insanity for him to be running around saying he's 6'3. I've seen 5'11s fudge their height just by an inch or so but they're not going to be going higher than 6 ft. That's just crazy.
58Sunliner
(6,331 posts)What's crazy is how big a lie he will tell. He is neither sane nor rational. It's hard to understand his degree of narcissism. It is mind boggling. If he had been held accountable early in life, maybe it would be different.

(3,396 posts)Dont give a shit about his height and weight
But I do know he is a fucking criminal. THAT is ALL that should be talked about.

(21,902 posts)If I was 5'11 in my 20's, and I shrink to 5'9 in my upper 70's, am I really a liar if someone asks "How tall are you?" and I still say 5'11? Because I'm never going to tell them 5'9, if/when I ever shrink with old age. My dad shrunk in his 70's too, and he always said he was the same height that was on his license.

(18,272 posts)The fluid filled disks between vertebrae flatten out causing us to lose height. This is different from osteoporosis and is quite normal.
phylny
(8,818 posts)I was a touch over 56 in my prime and now at 65 Im 55 or so. Why would I lie? It means nothing.
Polybius
(21,902 posts)I'm 5'11, and I'm going to say that for life. It's my prime height. My dad did. For the record, I'm not old and haven't shrunk.
