What are you talking about his weird shoes are to offset his strange gait from something like gout or diabetes.

You can literally see photos of him in highschool standing at least 6' and for reference to go from 5'6" to claimed 6'3" would be a 9" lift, is he wearing platforms?

First photo down he's clearly not short can you pick an actual issue to be mad about.

I know reading is hard, but me saying he's not 6'2" doesn't automatically mean I'm arguing he's the shortest. Wtf. How has education failed so many people that this is how they interpret text?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Maybe critical thinking is hard but to be the shortest he would need to be 5'6" which is 9" shorter.

If you're crying about two inches I'd say you're a weirdo obsessed with weirdo shit.

... That photo is what you consider proof of his height? Are you serious?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 0 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

The photo where he's a step below and the same height as those above yeah that does mean he's taller than average which generally is 6' or over and everything anyone can find even from when he was a kid says 6' or over. He's fat, he's not short though.

[–] jungle@lemmy.world 0 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Have you heard of perspective? And do you know the height of the people standing behind him?

He may as well be tall, but please don't tell me you're going to die on that ridiculous hill.

We do because a lot of them are famous because is a rich kid school.

You're the one arguing a stupid fucking point. The comment that was replied to was "shortest would be weird he's like 6'2"" the shortest president is somewhere around 5'6".

Is he taller than 5'6"? Yes.

Is he around 6'2" and round as the fuckin sun? Yes.

So who's being tedious about height?
