His hands really are teeny tiny. I never really looked. Does make you wonder about that old comparison. Or is it feet that tell us the size?

But if you look at pics and video of them together you can clearly see Romney is taller even though it's just 1 inch difference.

So there is no way trump is 6'3 or even 6'2. Most likely he is under 6'1 .

And the lie is even more clear when you compare trump to Jeb Bush who is 6'3.

they ASK if your height and weight are the same, they do not weigh and measure you. I just renewed my license, so this is how it is in Ill. Of course Don the Con would lie, it is in his DNA.

trump's old height was 6-2, he grew to his "new" height of 6-3, which is bizarre. I wonder if they did that to get him under the "obese" level?

trump's hands look like miniatures.

i'm a fat woman so the fat jokes don't tend to make me laugh. of course with trump it's not that he's obese so much that he lies about it and makes other people lie about it.

an outline of Trumps actual hand. I can't remember where they said they got it, but it sounded credible.

Now I'm only 5'4" and my hands are not very big, of course, so I thought I would compare mine to the outline on the screen. They were about the same size.

Then I remembered I have my screen at 125%.

I'm 5'3" (or 5"4" since my knee replacements depending on who measures) and I have extremely large palms for a woman. I have to get a man's large size in gloves. My palms are the same size as my 6"1.5" huband's - but his fingers are a half inch longer than mine.

In my entire life I have only met two people who had larger palms than mine - both were very large men.

While what you state is possible, it isn't proof that height has nothing to do with hand or foot size. I'm quite sure that on average, taller people have larger hands and feet.

he probably has hands larger than mine. a friend of mine (a man) claimed he had very small hands and made us compare our hands and his were appreciably larger than my hands. i'm not trying to pretend i don't, that's the thing with trump. i wish the world would STOP feeding his delusions.

Can't tell with certainty from this photo if Obama really is taller. Of course the inner man towers over T.

President Obama has it, tRump is lacking in class, dignity, he is uncouth. Maybe he should try going to President Obama's tailor, since the one he uses makes him look like HELL. Wait, maybe nobody could make him look better? He piles on that overcoat to hide his girth. It does not work, it emphasizes his weight. The man is repulsive in every way.

was to button the middle button, but apparently Dump's tailor doesn't allow for the excess girth.

He's ugly inside and out.

Which one fat or muscle has a greater volume?

http://banisternutrition.net/fat-vs-muscle/

https://www.everydayhealth.com/weight/busting-the-muscle-weighs-more-than-fat-myth.aspx

https://www.prevention.com/fitness/strength-training/does-muscle-weigh-more-fat

"A pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat. But the body fat is more "fluffy" and the muscle is more "dense and compact." Muscles take up less space in your body, so body weight may go up as you add compact, tight muscle mass."

I've known it as fact since I started lifeguard training when I was a teenager.
The picture that was at the end of that first link was surprising, though. I thought the differential was greater.
