I’m going to assume they will just ask him and he will say 232.

His actual weight is 279 but that won’t be on any booking report.

I’m going to say a round 250.

Is the self-reporting also for height? Or if not, do bookees keep their (lifts) shoes on?

I guess 5’11, 260.

But if it weren’t taken already, I would have guessed 281.

I always just took what was on his license. I don’t even know if Trump has a license. I don’t know if they’re going to ask him for identification. If so, they might just take what’s on his passport.

Just because I’m wondering. Is there a definite cut-off date and/or time to submit guesses, like there would be when betting sports and horse racing? That is, no bets accepted once the game or race begins.

Given that the result might not break until tomorrow or later, one suggestion that comes to mind is when a reputable media cite can be posted. In other words, the betting windows are open until such a cite is posted.

But I’m sure that’s not the only idea out there. What does anybody else think?

If they weigh him, 264. If they take his word for it I’m sure he’ll say 220 or something like that.

Just curious…all the other fools who have surrendered and had their mugshots taken…have their heights and weights been released?

Never mind…I found the search form for the jail. Information is there if you want to look at it.

[http://justice.fultoncountyga.gov/PAJailManager/JailingSearch.aspx?ID=400](http://justice.fultoncountyga.gov/PAJailManager/JailingSearch.aspx?ID=400)

Rudy is listed at 5’ 11" tall, weighing 230 lbs.

I’ll go for 292.

I used to weigh about 260, and never looked as rotund as he does.

Shouldn’t **Smapti** be on the list at 239? I was responding to his post about that when I guessed 240.

1. 

I weighed a bit over that for a couple of years, just going through a phase, but I have human-sized hands and feet, and am also a few inches taller than 6’1", if that’s the li’l nibblers true height.

I think the little duke can do it! 275! With some restraint.

Oh.

Well, never mind. It’s still 275!

Looks like 280 is still open so I’ll go with that.

5’!!" without lifts, 6’!" with.

My guess is 247. The slash refers to how long Trump weighs that.
