Could someone please explain why on earth asking how tall he is appears to be making some people mad? He just looked significantly shorter in that video based on him being next to the car in the video than I thought so it made me wonder how tall he is. Why is asking so offensive? I don't get it.

(on edit...I clicked to reply to another post...so this is not directed at you, defacto, sorry that it shows up as a reply to you, it was supposed to reply to artislife)

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