Mighty Mike's Height

Donald Trump is strangely obsessed with Mike's height, so let's review some Presidential Height Facts:

Mighty Mike Bloomberg - 5' 8".

President Harry "The Buck Stops Here" Truman who led us to VICTORY in World War II - 5' 8"

President & General Ulysses S. Grant - 5' 8"

Founding Father & President John Adams - 5' 7".

Founding Father & President James Madison - 5' 4"

Copied from Facebook

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

..."how tall are you". trump's answer would be "6 feet 3 inches". Our response would be "I didn't think they could pile crap that high!"

New York Democrats are particularly angered by his previous donations to Republicans, including some in the not-so-distant past. While spending about $100 million to help Democrats flip the House and win other midterm races last year, Bloomberg simultaneously donated to then-Rep. Dan Donovan, a Staten Island Republican, and held a fundraiser in June for Rep. Peter King, a Republican who represents parts of Long Island.

and flunkies are about Bloomberg's height.

I've always suspected Trump tended to do that to make himself feel superior, just because of his height.

And it's a safe bet that if they displease them, he's likely to ridicule them for being short.

Bloomberg REALLY threatens Trump, makes him feel insecure, so Trump is sniping at him because of his height right away.
