In reply to the discussion: I Don't Think Sports Illustrated is Buying the Girther Report [View all]spooky3
(38,589 posts)30. Interesting. I do not think he is anywhere close to 6'3" based on photos of him with a mix of other
people. He does not tower over them. Per photos, Melania in heels is his height or very close to it. While she is tall, she would have to be over 6 feet tall in order for her to reach his height while wearing even really high (3" ) heels--she'd have to be even taller than 6' given that he is wearing shoes which probably add another inch or more (and I wouldn't put it past him to wear lifts in his shoes to keep the myth alive). Very few women are that tall. I think he is at most 6'1" and is padding his stated height so that his weight doesn't make him look as fat.

Parse my words as you wish, but the other respondent implied that scientists used such terms.

It Looks Like the "8" Was Changed to a "3" in His Weight - It's Really 289, Not 239"

All jokes aside, the repeated lying from officials to benefit Trump is really scary.
