I’m beginning to think I lowballed it at 250. I’m 213 and much shorter. Ah well. ---

Yeah, that’s how I arrived at 305. I’m 215 or so and tiny at 5’'4". My “little” brother who is 6’2" and a similar build to me normally hung out in the 300# range when he was around Trump’s level of portliness. If anything, I’m probably still lowballing it. ---

CNN: He self-reported his weight on some forms he had to fill out. So there’s how he ends up being 215 pounds. ---

215 is hilarious. He didn’t even bother to pick a remotely believable number. ---

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… ---

If those are the rules, I suppose, but Price is Right rules in real life are dumb, IMHO. I’d give it to **Loach**. Fuck, 215? I’m 215 at 5’11" and I’m nowhere near the girth and heft of that thing. On the other hand, why the fuck not fuck with the person taking down your weight when you’re being booked? What reason do you have to be honest if you think this is sham justice (as I assume Trump thinks.) Thumb your nose at every part of the process you can. ---

What reason do you have to be honest if you think this is sham justice (as I assume Trump thinks.) Thumb your nose at every part of the process you can. I totally get that rationale. There’s a counter argument, though, that says – mostly to FAR better people than He – don’t let them make you become what they say you are. But that ship has long-ago sailed. ---
