Trump prefers to surround himself with aides/associates much shorter than himself

It's especially noticeable with evil Keebler elf Sessions, but he's far from the only Cabinet appointee and WH staffer who's much shorter than Trump. DT is fairly tall, at 6'2", but not so tall you'd normally expect almost all the men around him to be much shorter, unless he'd chosen them in part because he felt more comfortable, more dominant, if he towered over them.

And of course there was his "Little Marco" insult for Rubio.

Btw, I want to emphasize that this thread was meant in no way as a critique of people around Trump for being short. That obviously doesn't affect their qualifications (or lack of same, with Trump's people). I just think that Trump is choosing men shorter than himself because he is so damn insecure.
