Edit: I see you added a second, better photo, but best if the photo included their feet.

EDIT: OMG there is a world of fascinating shit going on in everybody's facial expressions and body language.

(5,914 posts)You can tell by the way the middle of his foot is pointing downwards compared to his toes, which are flat. Compare how his feet look to Obama, who also has a slight lift from a normal shoe heel. Trump is wearing height-elevating shoes in this picture. His shoes have a built-up heel to make him seem taller.

(7,688 posts)he doesn't want the maid to see the lifts in his shoes?
Dave Starsky
(5,914 posts)I originally thought it was because he was having arthritis pain in his knees and he didn't want anyone to know. Now I see that it's because he's wearing high heels that pitch his center of gravity up and forward.

(7,421 posts)You can see the toes well but the rest of the shoe is in the shadows. His shoes appear indistinguishable from President Obama's in that photo.

(1,216 posts)Doctor's office does not make you take shoes off while taking weight and height measurements.
Some people wear taller heeled shoes than others.
So photographs are not final proof.

(1,202 posts)and at 6'1" Obama looks taller than Trump. Which means, donald is obese

It gets better. It gets a lot better. Jeb Bush actually IS 6? 3?. Heres a picture of Jeb and Trump side by side at one of the debates:

erpowers
(9,350 posts)According to those pictures and a few others that have been posted he is not even 6'1". It is getting harder and harder to take the doctor seriously. Based on some of the things he was saying at the press conference and the fact that he claimed that Donald Trump was 6'3" when it was easy to prove that information wrong it is beginning to seem that this doctor will say whatever the Trump Administration wants him to say.

Dave Starsky
(5,914 posts)But 6' 3"? No fucking way. That's crazy.
I know it seems like a dumb thing to talk about, but it is important. He is clearly lying about something so stupid as his height and weight, which we can all see is false. So why should we trust him on anything he says or does?

(61,696 posts)Trump is further away from the camera and consequently, will look smaller in height and width. The second picture showsa better comparison of height, I think.
My guess is that DOTUS is about 6'1".
