Im not saying Trump is 6'3*, he's clearly not. I myself have shrunk over an inch and I'm younger than him by a generation. But people don't always measure the same, or try to. I have a friend who is 6'1" who swears he's 5'11". He never stands up straight. At my tallest I was 5'11 3/4" and you better believe I was giving my measurements all I could hoping I'd get to 6'. My guess is Trump once was 6'3", has shrunk to just a little over 6', and Newsom is probably closer to 6'4". But without putting a measuring tape to them, what the hell do any of us know?

My money would be on Trump only ever being 5'11. Obama was 6'1 and Trump was still several inches shorter.

Yeah I don't really give a fuck about Trump's height tbh, but you can see by their shadows that Newsom is walking slightly in front and the lens could be affecting our perspectives. Makes the difference seem larger than it is.

Rewarding sanity in these not sane times with this small vote up

This is important if we’re gonna poke fun, so we know whether to defend the “fact” sarcastically or not

[–] Fenrisulfir@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There’s absolutely no way the difference between newsom and trump in that pic is 3”

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Trump also has on lifts. Look at the difference in sole thickness.

Hello fellow 5'11 3/4-er. I gave up on it a while ago. At least even the thinnest shoes put me over 6'0.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 1 points 1 day ago

I've shrunk a bit but I can still get to 6' with any good pair of shoes or boots. I've also figured out height doesn't matter nearly as much as confidence. I have less of the former these days, but way more of the latter.
