Do you have a cite that they let Giuliani self report? That would really ruin our fun.

I chose 245, not 255.

I’ll go with 281 if they actually weight him. If it’s self-reported like with Guiliani, then 252.

If it’s self-reported weight, then I’m going 180 lbs.

I’d be surprised if it’s under 300, based on the shapes of people I know…

I’ve booked a lot of people. We had to put down weight. We didn’t have a scale. I don’t know any department that does. That doesn’t mean there aren’t places in the world that weigh prisoners. I just don’t think it’s likely.

If they chose not to answer we guessed.

In my district of Maoming City in Guangdong, China, when I went to get registered at the local police station as required, the cop shop asked me to return the following day because they were busy processing a teen gang. The cops had the combination height/weight scale.

I think I got it correct this time. Updated and corrected to the first user to claim a particular pound of flesh (heheheh). I don’t know how to add weights above or below the current table’s weights (240#~319#). If anyone does, go for it!

I say 6’ 1" and 205 lbs, because hot air makes bullshit float.

Isn’t the camera supposed to “add ten pounds”? Or is that only for women?

299 lbs

Trump wears tailored suits that disguises his corpulence.

I’ll guess a svelte, cut 195#. Y’know why?

_“Trump, 76, gave a shoutout to former White House doctor and current congressman Ronny Jackson early in his nearly two-hour speech to the conservative conference. ‘He was a great doctor, you know, he was an admiral, a doctor and now he’s a congressman,’ Trump told the audience. 'I said, ‘Which is the best, if you had your choice?’ And he sort of indicated doctor because he loved looking at my body, it was so strong and powerful.”_

And it would be hard to imagine Donald Trump being anything other than completely honest.
