1852? 1887? 1955? 1970s?. It depends how we define “made its appearance”
Yes! I loved the dry orange flavor.
I was referring to Hubster after he switched to Eliquis from Baby Aspirin.
Oh, that makes much more sense. I should have read it more carefully!
Handwatch '26: Today’s shade is “drywall”.
I know I can drink this bottle of champagne in my fridge anytime I like. I’m a grown man. It’s Friday afternoon. But what I crave more than anything else is celebratory champagne. Is it too much to ask that I get to drink some celebratory champagne this weekend?
Not too natural that’s for sure. I’m a bit surprised his raging vanity is tolerating that degree of fake looking not matching his actual skin tone. It’s not like professionals couldn’t make that look perfect.
I noted something else about that picture. Google tells me he’s 6’2". And he’s always been a large-framed man, even before he got fat. So fairly physically imposing. He’s also the friggin’ POTUS, which is kind of an imposing role.
So here he is wearing thick-soled, tall-heeled dress shoes. Probably with lifts in them to boot. Because 6’2 and POTUS just isn’t big enough for his pea-sized overcompensating brain.
Whatta piece of human garbage.
Yes, but see how he does his bronzer. He strikes me as the kind of guy who knows nothing about make-up and will not accept any help.
I suspect he’s 6’2" with the thick soles and high heals.
Which he probably isn’t now, if he ever actually was. There are no end of photographs where he’s standing next to people about that height, and he’s shorter than them; it’s also widely reported that he’s worn lifts in his shoes for years. Another bit of insecurity.
His hand probably wasn’t so redblood-engorged when he was resting his arm across the makeup table. That’s why you have your blood pressure reading with your arm horizontal. Once he stands up and his arm hangs down, it starts to look like liver.
I get it. I skim a lot and miss stuff. Yeah, trump is bruisy and icky. I wish he’d croak.
From what I’ve read, there are official documents from earlier in his life stating his height at 6’2". So I do think at one point he may have been that tall. But the man is 80 and stooped. He’s clearly not that tall anymore, even with lifts.
He claims to be 6’3" but see here:
Prince William is actually 6’3", and here he is next to Trump.
I don’t know if he has lifts in his shoes or not, but that photo makes it look like he’s just under 6’.
I did some quick research, and by the time a man is 80, he might have lost up to 3 inches in height. If he was 6’2" at his peak, that seems about right.
Odd. My heart doc prescribed low-dose aspirin six years ago and didn’t say anything about enteric or not. When was the study published?
“The low spark of high-heeled boys”
The percentage you’re paying is too high-priced
While you’re living beyond all your means
The man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he’s made on your dreams
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn’t make any noise
And it wasn’t the bullet that laid him to rest
Was the low spark of high-heeled boys
I love that song.
That stanza just flashed into my mind and it seemed appropriate.
Call me prejudiced but IMHO the mid-60s to the mid-70s was the best decade for just about any genre of music.
I switched to non-coated after reading about it here on the Dope. It reminded me of when I was a kid. I liked the flavor and would suck on them like candy. Post #7 has a link.

I read somewhere they added 1" to his ‘public’ height (as recorded on his driver’s licence) so that his BMI no longer flashed red as Obese. That was a while ago so yes, maybe he has shrunk meantime.
Unless those official documents included a height that had been actually measured in-person, I have to remain skeptical. If it is the height that’s on official documents like a driver’s license, that would have been self-reported, and if it’s what has been reported in his annual presidential physicals, I would find that as believable as his reported weight in those.
Plus, I really suspect that he has always fudged his height by a couple of inches, because he is just that insecure.
Regardless, this article reinforces my estimate of how tall I think he currently is.
“Donald Trump is exactly 5’11. This pic of Barron & Trump makes it trivially easy to compare their heights. Trump is 458 pixels tall, Barron is 508 pixels tall (you can check),” Suzdaltsev captioned the post.
I’d said that comparing him to Prince William, he looks just under 6’. I’m proud to find agreement there!
