I am quite confident that I already know this number by heart, it is not difficult. Sounds a bit like those numbers they sang in wee hours TV in the '90s in Germany offering dubious services (_Ruf! Mich! An!_ you would know what I mean if you saw that, but YouTube does not store those ads in an easy to find way. Pity! The tastelessness would be fitting to our subject). BTW, I learned this week about the [Kubrick stare](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KubrickStare) in this Board. Looking at the mugshot I believe he has been practising it. The fool! He does not manage even that! ETA: [NSFW, tasteless](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHb4ZR0wWp4&list=PL8qAT2AvJ8v_c6DsdRxJqw5u1sFcfU1e2) and still not the real thing. It was worse. ---

They’re having fun on social media mocking Trump’s 6’3" and claimed 215 pounds, which happens to be [the same measurements as Lamar Jackson](https://www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/news-lamar-jackson-6-2-215-lbs-donald-trump-s-viral-height-weight-measurements-nfl-fans-calling-bald-faced-lie#). ---

If P01135809is found guilty and reports to prison, will they get an actual weight at that point? I can’t think that they would just take his word for it. Of course in my imaginary world, he’ll be hosed down in a bare concrete cell first with de-lousing soap. ---

If so (and I doubt it), I imagine it would be a minor misdemeanor, at worst. “We couldn’t convict him on conspiracy, or witness tampering, but we _did_ get him on lying about his weight!!” ---

What if someone and gave obviously false info like “I’m 1’6” tall and 1000 lbs"? I’m assuming they wouldn’t dutifully record that information. While Trump’s info isn’t exaggerated that much, anyone with a functioning pair of eyes could note that it was incorrect. ---

> [@wguy123](#): > > While Trump’s info isn’t exaggerated that much, anyone with a functioning pair of eyes could note that it was incorrect. I’m thinking that what they’re going for–at this point, anyway–is reasonability. Is it possible that the man who stands before us, here and now, is really 6’3" and 215 pounds? Okay, reasonably speaking, he could be. He might not be, and probably isn’t, but it’s not like he’s saying that he’s 5’8" and 170 pounds, which would clearly be unreasonable answers to reasonable questions. I’m not defending Trump or his answers to those questions (remember I participated in the game with a guess of 254 pounds, and I’m happy with that guess), but I’m simply saying that for yesterday’s purposes, Trump’s answers were within the bounds of reasonability, though pushing the edge of those bounds. I’m sure that if Trump were to be admitted to the jail as an inmate, issued an orange jumpsuit, assigned a cell, and so on, a full medical exam would take place, including weighing him with a set of properly-calibrated scales. ---
