I'm 6'3" ish, I'm 225. There is no way he's 244. Nope. No way.

u/jonker5101 Oct 15 '20

I weighed 265 last year, 6'2". I looked a lot thinner than Trump.

18

u/AgAero Oct 15 '20

I'm 251 at that height and WAY thinner. Only way he's under 265 is with zero muscle mass whatsoever.

14

u/brezhnervous Oct 15 '20

Always a possibility....he thinks exercise is bad for you lol

u/Mordanzibel Oct 15 '20

I'm 285 at 5'7'' and I look thinner than Trump.

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '20

Could be because he is just a bag of suet, while you have more muscle weight that makes you look thinner than him. I knew a guy that weighed only a few pounds more than me, looked way fatter. Higher muscle content than him made me look more in shape than him.

11

u/BortlesMania Oct 15 '20

I was about to say. I’m 5’11” 225lbs and I’m way thinner than he is. I’d say he easily has 50lbs on me.

u/DrMichaelHfuhruhurr Oct 15 '20

Yep, 275, minimum.

You have to believe he was wearing his lifts in this shot too, but he's shorter than Trudeau at 6'2". So in reality, probably 6'0" but still weighs 240lb plus.

He's firmly in the 'should be hospitalized from this category', not 'jump back on the campaign trail'

Idiot

u/belethors_sister Oct 16 '20

He's definitely wearing lifts in that photo

1

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '20

Yeah he's doing his trademark 'lean forward' too. It makes me happy to see everyone else happy but him and Melania.

He's gotta be like 6'0" tall in actuality, what a poser

4

u/DruidB Oct 15 '20

I'm 6'3, out of shape and 245lbs. My waist is 36-38 There is no way with that gut he is 244... unless he has major weight savings happening in other places ;)

u/DrMichaelHfuhruhurr Oct 15 '20

Sooo for the weight savings... empty head, tiny hands, pencil dick. Got it. ;)

u/BawBaw23 Oct 15 '20

He’s shorter than Obama. Obama is 6’1.

u/fu_pooh69 Oct 15 '20

Depends on fat%, same volume of fat weights less that muscle. I guess his fat% is very high.

u/tattedmomma44 Oct 15 '20

Damn, my son is 18, 6’4 & 140lbs. Can’t get weight on this boy, lol

2

u/DrMichaelHfuhruhurr Oct 15 '20

It'll come. That was me at 18. Bottomless pit for food and metabolism set to 11.

2

u/tattedmomma44 Oct 15 '20

Yes, he’s jackin up our grocery bill but staying slim, lol

1

u/DrMichaelHfuhruhurr Oct 15 '20

I met my wife at 24. She joked that there was no way in hell she'd marry me if I weighed less than her. 75 lbs later ... I certainly am not.

Ps, drill in good eating habits now and as he does increase in weight in his 20s, it'll be manageable.

1

u/tattedmomma44 Oct 15 '20

Thanks, yeah when I met my husband 26 yrs ago he was way skinny, 6’1...I’ll always weigh more than him, lol. He only now started to gain weight in his 40’s!

2

u/DrMichaelHfuhruhurr Oct 15 '20

That's how it starts. 54 now. It creeps up. Seem to be holding steady at 224-225.

2

u/ack154 Oct 15 '20

I was 6'3" and close to 240 a few months back and there's no way. 260 maybe?

I'm now about 222 and on my way down though, so that's good.

1

u/Scooterks Oct 15 '20

Well, you see, you've got to subtract out the weight of the scale too. Otherwise it's incorrect. /s

u/Akomatai Oct 15 '20

6'3, 310, even i look thinner than trump lol. I would feel like a skeleton at 180

1

u/CamRoth Oct 15 '20

Well Trump is also definitely not 6'3".

1

u/LegalAction Oct 15 '20

You're fighting fit at that weight! I'm 5'7" and 130 when I'm in shape. 150 now - 170 at my heaviest.

177

u/codece Oct 14 '20

Same physician who says he's 180lbs and 6"4'?

Could you point me to the doctor who said that? I can't seem to find any evidence of that specific claim.

Regardless the announcement Monday came from Dr. Sean Conley, the same doctor who on June 3rd released Trumps' annual physical results, stating he is 244lbs and 6' 3"

114

u/grubas Oct 15 '20

That’s a modification of his first physical, which was 239 and 6’3”.

He’s never been 6’3” and he’s not 244.

-10

u/gorgewall Oct 15 '20

He may have been 6'3" earlier in life but has since shrunk. It happens when you get old; the spine compresses, the padding between joints thins. But if you're an egotist who's used to seeing 6'3" on your drivers' license all your life, or you were using lifts to get to that point to begin with, you're not gonna correct that just because the doctors are re-measuring you at 6'2" or 6'1" in your 70s.

22

u/grubas Oct 15 '20

Oh no it's even better. He said he was 6'2" all of his life.

So given his ego he was likely 6 or maybe 6'1 at his peak. He's now shorter due to age.

u/johnnielittleshoes Oct 15 '20

Obama is 6’1”. Is Trump 6’3”? LOL

1

u/acxswitch Oct 15 '20

He looks pretty darn close to Obama's height in that photo. 6'1" puts him in the 91st percentile of height. I consider that pretty tall.

85

u/Chelios22 Oct 15 '20

Okay, he is at least 40 pounds heavier than that.

159

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '20

He’s also not 6’3”, Trudeau is 6’2” and towered over him.

6

u/sixtninecoug Oct 15 '20

Melania also is supposedly 5’10 and is damn near as tall as him in most photos.

29

u/victorianmood Oct 15 '20

Trudeau and trump and nearly the same height!! I looked at a bunch of photos on google of them standing and shaking hands! Not towering, I think trumps maybe 6 feet and jt is 6 2

40

u/DrunkenGolfer Oct 15 '20

If Tinder has taught me anything, it is that 6’2” towers over 5’11.98”

64

u/Raspberries-Are-Evil Oct 15 '20

Trudeau and trump and nearly the same height!!

Trump is known to where platform shoes/high heeled shoes. Its why he always appears to be leaning forward.

Like a centaur without its butt.

u/brezhnervous Oct 15 '20

I though that was from a mini stroke or similar

-4

u/l32uigs Oct 15 '20

honestly just looks like he has a serious hip misalignment. his posture is dogshit, and i can tell you as someone who is anywhere from 5"10 to 6"2 depending on the time of day and how confident I am.. posture can make a huge difference in height.

idk, there are bigger fish to fry than his height.

u/DONTLOOKITMEIMNAKED Oct 15 '20

trump wears lifts

38

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '20

Trudeau definitely looks a few inches taller. Maybe tower is an exaggeration. But Trump also wears lifts so Trudeau probably does tower over him. Have you seen how tall that fuckers heels are?

17

u/Bisontracks Oct 15 '20

Him and Tom Cruise could wear each other's shoes and no one would know.

u/HotMustardEnema Oct 15 '20

Trudeau wears high heels all the time. He owns the camera though, not the media.

u/BustAMove_13 Oct 15 '20

Trump wears a small heel on his shoes though.

27

u/Chelios22 Oct 15 '20

I won't argue there. I already knew he was a small, feeble man. I assume he lied about every single one of his attributes.

26

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '20

I assume he lied about

everything he's ever said

1

u/RLucas3000 Oct 15 '20

Are you saying his penis isn’t 12 inches long and ‘girthy’ ???

13

u/newbdad1 Oct 15 '20

Have you actually seen a pic of them together? Neither towers over the other.

1

u/jaqueburton Oct 15 '20

Wait, I haven’t seen a picture of them together... THEY’RE THE SAME PERSON!?!

2

u/DevelopedDevelopment Oct 15 '20

I actually looked it up. There's dozens of pics of the two standing next to each other and they look about the same height.

I'd rather complain about Trump's gut and bad eating habits that make him obese, which he's almost obese at 239 lbs and 6'3" with a BMI of 29.9 but at 244 lbs he'd be 30.5 A BMI of 25-29.9 is overweight, with normal being 18.5-24.9.

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '20

the smooth criminal lean takes off a few inches i imagine

u/Rileyman360 Oct 15 '20

Pretty sure it’s just that trump hunches over all the goddamn time. Not great posture to have.

4

u/RoleModelFailure Oct 15 '20

Somehow he weighs the same as me but is nearly twice my size. Don’t believe he’s 240 for a single second.

2

u/TheTrollisStrong Oct 15 '20

Trump is not 280. No way.

u/CuriousTravlr Oct 15 '20

My dad is 280 and 6’2”, Trump isn’t as big as him.

Have you seen Trump in person?

u/Chelios22 Oct 15 '20

He's so amazing in person! Yuge! /Yawn

No, but even on TV he doesn’t look nearly as big as my dad, is all I’m saying.

Thanks for your concern, but yeah, I'm fine. Did you vote for Trump yet? Are you okay?

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '20

Yeah, I did. Hope you’re able to hold on for another 4 years

Listening to fat tits here whine about Trump being overweight is pretty enjoyable.

u/Chelios22 Oct 15 '20

Who do you mean? Certainly not Joe or I, right? Trump has no fewer than 100 pounds on us and doesn't believe in exercise. I'm also taller than him.

u/whoopiethereitis Oct 15 '20

does your fat dad also wear platform shoes and look like a centaur?

Wow. When they go low, we go .... ?

2

u/PastorTroyFan Oct 15 '20

It would actually be cool to have a centaur dad and be a regular person, but that was still uncalled for.

2

u/Chelios22 Oct 15 '20

Uh, that was years ago, and you've never gone high on a single issue. The fact that you think you're exposing hypocrisy here is absurd. The Republican party is objectively awful and hypocritical. It's a shame I can't prove it to its blind sycophants and enablers.

1

u/FL_Vaporent Oct 15 '20

You’re lashing out blindly. I don’t like Trump either, but calm yourself and realize that you’re not convincing anyone of anything by flailing about blindly and jumping down the throat of anyone who dares to respond to your comments. People aren’t criticizing you because they like Trump, they’re criticizing you because you are being childish in your rage.

2

u/Chelios22 Oct 15 '20

Their minds won't be changed, it's already been shown. I'm sorry for succumbing to frustration but if it was ever warranted, it's now, toward these hypocrites. I know I won't convince anyone, sadly.

1

u/FL_Vaporent Oct 15 '20

I understand the frustration and the sentiment. It’s been a rough few years, and now it seems that things are only becoming increasingly stressful. I wish I had words of hope, but all we can do at the moment is vote and see what comes next, as unsatisfying as that is. Best of luck getting through the next couple weeks- hopefully this chapter of horror will be drawing to a close imminently.

I think you may have been thinking of the crazy dude with long hair from before the election who released a ridiculously rosy picture of wellness? But Conley was the guy who flat out admitted to not telling the truth about the presidents condition and use of oxygen. Still though, most people aren’t infectious* after 10, and even seriously ill patients who later die aren’t likely to be COVID “positive” after like 20 days I think. He’s likely no longer infectious at this point

Edit: infectious*, people often have lingering symptoms and aren’t infectious

u/fury420 Oct 15 '20

I was thinking of this guy, from after the election:

“Some people have just great genes,” a navy doctor, Ronny Jackson, told reporters at the White House. “I told the president that if he had a healthier diet over the last 20 years, he might live to be 200 years old ... But I would say the answer to your question is he has incredibly good genes and it’s just the way God made him.”

u/jimbo_squat Oct 15 '20

Note before I start: I hate the man.

When I was a kid I was at the old trump castle in Atlantic City with my parents for the day because my dad used to have a boat and it was docked there. We walk by the buffet and who do we see chatting it up doing rich guy who don’t pay their taxes shit? Ole Donny. Anyway, my mom and I were talking about it the other day, and she mentioned her only impression of him was “wow he’s really tall”. Now, I was def to young to remember his height, although I do remember seeing him, but I do believe he is actually tall. My mom hates him more than I do and is not known to lie. I could actually see how much it hurt her to say something nice about him.

In his final test match for the All Blacks, Richie McCaw was 236lb standing 6'2" If Donald Trump is 244 lbs I'll eat my hat!

u/FarPhilosophy4 Oct 15 '20

So, Friday Oct 2 trump tested positive. Didn't look good and had some of the signs. Got the latest and greatest chemicals on the market and now is back to normal.

That was 12 days ago and you still think Trump has the virus?

1

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '20

Yes? Do you not understand how long the virus stays in your system, making you infectious?

-1

u/FarPhilosophy4 Oct 15 '20

Do you not understand how long the virus stays in your system,

yeah, the common viewpoint is 10 days. We are basically at the end of the 2 weeks.

Even if the doctor lied about the negative test, using basic science he is no longer infectious now.
