Let me tell you too.
But seriously, I'm sick of these stupid headlines. Write an article when you know the details not when you are speculating on them. There is nothing new here.

Also, the weight of some American fraudster is hardly newsworthy, and the connection to politics is slim at best.
Slim, unlike that wastline... phew.
Though it is relevant tangentially in that it's a great indicator of how petty, dishonest, and unworthy of power he is.
People with zero creativity are all too happy to make momentary buck off the momentum of the moment.
You know what it is? Lazy. They could be doing some proper investigative journalism, but that costs time and often money.
So instead they write an article about Trump being fat. We know he's fat. We know he's lying about his weight.
But let's be real. He's hardly alone. The vast majority of Americans are fat (something like 70%), and almost 40% are obese. I assume many of these people are also in denial about it. How are they supposed to feel about this article?
Hell, google the author of this article. He's also overweight. It's not unlikely he's also in denial given he chose to write this article. That isn't an attack. Life happens, you're busy, and if you're not careful you get fat. Invariably you're a bit insecure/vain about it. That's only human.
Let he who is not fat throw the first stick of butter.
When it comes to Trump, him being fat is the least of his crimes.
and here we are engaging with the content. fml
It's overdone.
The one thing I would add is that he got to get the mug in a suit and tie Typically, more casual attire is involved.
I'm pissed that they're still letting him self-report that. They should have weighed and measured him like everyone else.
Wait, his drivers license lists him as 6’2
Is Donald trump really that tall? Because that’s tall as fuck. I don’t fault an old man for getting out of shape like that, but 6’3? I always pictured him as like 5’10. He doesn’t seem that tall in anything I’ve watched.
But idk, fuck that guy anyway. Just had a totally different in person vision in my head.
Okay I just googled pictures of him next to Putin and looked at a bunch of them and I was like “oh wow he’s a good three or four inches taller than Putin maybe this is right.”
Then I learn Putin is 5’7. Seems fishy to me.
Putin is another pathetic man wearing shoes meant to make them taller.
desantis disco shoes.
Putin wears high heeled shoes that add at least 2 or 3 inches.
Look at Trump and Obama standing next to each other.
Oh yeah. And Obama is 6’1, and they seem about the same height. Assuming they’re both wearing shoes for normal people I could believe trump is 6’1.
Obama standing over Putin is a great picture.
Elevator shoes can add 3+ inches in height.
no wonder he doesn't do stairs and stumbles on ramps
LOL
He is wearing clown shoes!
Both on drivers license and jail weight and height are self reported
If he is 6'2 then his grandson has gotta be close 7'
That's not his grandson.
He's probably around 6'. He seems to be about the same height as Obama in pictures, but that might be lifts to some extent. In his younger years probably 6'1-6'2" and still holding onto it
Vain man lies about his weight. Film at 11.
Is anyone really surprised that a vain, narcissistic man would lie about his height and weight? I think that's pretty standard.
One of the great annoyances of the Donald Trump era is that for all his evil, all his cruelty, all his shitheadedness, the guy is still, somehow, a little relarable.
Homie, seriously? If you relate to coming to your arrest prepared to lie about your weight so people will perceive you as more physically fit/appealing then you are, fucking get help.
This is news because...?
Newsworthy only because he inflates the numbers for pretty much everything else.
I'm wondering if they didn't just take that off his drivers license. Mine hasn't been updated since 1995 and I grew an inch by the end of my teens and well, gained admit 70lbs.
He could absolutely be a lying shithead, but this crossed my mind last night.
it's not like weight is a static thing...
