    No way he is 215, but I’m not surprised the number is something like that. I don’t think he even got on the scale. They probably just asked him and accepted his answer. Like him or not, he is a former president and they are going to handle him with kid gloves. Not to mention there is a decent chance the people processing him also voted for him.

      ABC reported that the Fulton County jail didn’t weigh or measure him: his office provided his height and weight.

        His followers will actually believe he’s 215 also lol. Like mathematically there’s no way if you actually measured his volume

          If they said something like 235 I could say “Hmm…maybe. Maybe he’s just frumpy.” But 215?? That’s if you’re actually 6’3” and generally thin.

            Nah, mate. 6’3" and 215 is still mildly overweight. https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm

              I know by BMI it is, but I also know people of both examples and there’s a notable difference in appearance. I wouldn’t say a 6’3” 215lbs male looks very overweight, and Trump looks overweight.

              So I don’t be reference, but found this:

              https://www.reddit.com/r/progresspics/comments/ge5ub7/m4663_5205lbs_215lbs_3055lbs_lost_joined_slimming/

              Apparently the last picture is 215lbs. Trump doesn’t look like that. He looks closer to the first one.

              No, BMI is just an average. It doesn’t tell you anything about individuals.

        So they aren’t treating him like any other person, so that was a lie.

        Of course they let him lie. They’re cops.

        Could you imagine lying about your weight, the dude is such a queen.

      He just made another false statement to officials. He won’t be charged, but that’s what this is. I would laugh my ass off if his indictment gets superceded with an additional charge for this.

        It might hinge on knowingly. I don’t know my exact height and weight, I know it roughly.

        Maybe the shit that the suit is holding is just so dried out that doesn’t weight as normally it does?

      I’m unfortunately built somewhat like Trump, I guess. I’m 5’10" so a little shorter, but I’m a fair bit stronger (rural life).

      I weigh 250. There’s no way he’s less than that.

        Yeah, I’m 6’2 220. He is definitely bigger than I am.

      He is absolutely not 215; I’m 6’3” and when I was 215 a few years ago was pretty thin.

        Not a chance in hell. I’m 6’1 or so at 250 lbs. I do carry my weight well, but he looks substantially bigger than me. If he is truly 6’3, I’m guessing he’s pushing about 280.

          Yeah, I’ve been 260 before and was not as big as him. Also, it says Giuliani is 5’11” and 230 and I don’t think he looks as heavy as trump does.

      Man I predicted the height and weight exactly yesterday. No way was he getting on a scale.

      Looks like he lost some weight since his physician examined him in 2018, he is even healthier now and can live 300 ;)
