Former President Donald Trump told police he weighs 240 pounds and stands at 6 feet, 2 inches when he was arraigned at a lower Manhattan courthouse this week, Mediaite has learned.
Perps are required to provide certain personal information to police during arraignments, including their height, weight, and occupation. That information is recorded alongside the names of their arresting officers, typically on an online booking sheet system.
A source familiar with Trumps arrest said the former president told officers he has a weight of 240 pounds and a height of 62?, the latter metric coming in at one inch shorter than what he usually claims.

The thing about lies is keeping them straight.

(2,014 posts)you hear about all the time. And... started working out (even though he thinks that wastes your muscles). And skipped a couple meals. That's the ticket!

(9,690 posts)So he can claim his jacket is an XX long while claiming his pants have an overly long inseam of XX (which of course drag about those sorrowfully woebegone, unfortunate cuffs wherever his stunted mind points his Itallian leather clad but assuredly lifted undersized feet to go). I dont know how tie length is measured but one can be sure he claims a LeBron length there too and for the same reasons.
The result is as pathetic as it is hideous all in the name of schlepping around his whole unseemly mass underneath that monstrously oversized vanity/ego thing.
I guess somebody has to be him.

(14,631 posts)He doesnt want anyone to calculate his BMI and conclude that he is obese. Or morbidly obese, which is probably where he falls with his real height and weight.

(290 posts)Most unusual to gain height in one's seventies. People usual shrink a bit. But then, Donald is unique - and ever so special - isn't he?
And as for his weight; perhaps he's been working out, playing golf, jogging (?), etc. to achieve that trim, manly physique of his.
Remember; "Ronny," his former physician (now some Texas Congressperson), stated that Donald is in such good shape that he could easily live to 200; defying all odds and all logic; not to mention all common sense.
