Trump's 'height' defies medical odds as images next to Musk, Vance and Prince William spark doubts [View all]
American media doesn't seem interested in the Liar in Chief's bullshit.
He doesn't weigh 224 pounds, and he isn't taller than Elon Musk.
He told people what they needed to say to keep their jobs and keep him just under the "Obesity" definition.
Trump's 'height' defies medical odds as images next to Musk, Vance and Prince William spark doubts

That puts him at exactly the same height he was listed as during a physical examination nearly a decade ago. In September 2016, a letter from Trump's personal physician said he was in "excellent physical health," despite his then-236-pound weight and 6'3" height putting him at the high end of what is considered overweight and just shy of obese.
Not only is Trump not getting shorter, but he's actually grown an inch, according to a copy of his New York driver’s license obtained by Politico in 2016. The license listed Trump as 6ft 2".
The 2016 health report also came just a year after Trump's former doctor, Harold Bornstein, put out a statement declaring that Trump had undergone a medical exam that showed "only positive results". The doctor didn't detail Trump's height and weight in the 2015 letter but said that "his physical strength and stamina are extraordinary," adding: "If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency."
But in 2018, Dr Bornstein confessed to CNN that Trump "dictated the whole letter". He said: "I didn't write that letter. I just made it up as I went along." Now, Trump's latest health report has also raised doubts.
