So is there any comeback, even in theory, to Trump blatantly lying about his weigjt? If some dumb kid being indicted for possession with intent to supply had pulled this (“oh yeah dude I’m totally 215 pounds”) would they be facing consequences right now? ---

According to the NYT, Trump’s height was reported as 6’ 3" Wikipedia gives his height as 6’ 0" President Obama’s height per Wikipedia is 6’ 1-1/2" If you do a Google image search for both of them side by side, Trump is not taller than Obama (looks about 1.5 " shorter, in fact). So I don’t believe either the weight or height. I wonder what his passport says? ---

He hasn’t weighed 215 in probably 50 years. But maybe after 20 years of prison food he might get down to that. Disappointing to be sure that they didn’t weigh him. ---

Trump claimed to be 239 in his 2018 physical. Does he look like he’s lost 24 lbs since then to you? > **[Doctor says Trump is 6-3, 239 pounds, and the Internet has so many athlete...](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2018/01/16/doctor-says-trump-is-6-3-239-pounds-and-the-internet-has-so-many-athlete-comparisons/)** > > So just how does the president stack up to the likes of Alex Ovechkin (6-3, 235), Mike Trout (6-2, 235) and Tim Tebow (6-3, 245)? ---

Only way he is 215 is if he does not have an ounce of muscle. While I’m a woman, I’m shorter than him and way more than 215, but we seem to have a similar shape. If you made me the same proportions and 5" taller I would be at least 300. I’m sticking with 315. ---

Of course that’s also done by the super-accurate method of trusting the person to report it correctly. ---
