Mike Bloomberg is 5' 8" in height

(The average height of an American male is 5' 9“)

Trump calls Bloomberg "Mini Mike" (mocking his height),
and claims that Bloomberg wants a box to stand on in any debate with Trump
so Bloomberg would look taller.
(Trump claims to be 6' 3", but a photo of Trump next to Barack Obama seemed to show that the pair were of the same height. Obama is 6ft 1in.)

primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

8. What kind of grown-ass man mocks someone else's height?

That's a rhetorical question, obviously.

But if I were a man 5'8" or under and heard my president mocking another man my height (you know, like Obama used to do, because that's super normal), he would lose my vote; I might not vote for the other candidate, but I wouldn't haul myself to a voting booth for his sake.

Same for a candidate who mocked someone else's weight, of course, so I hope this doesn't get into a childish playground thing. Just focus on the hair, and the orangeness, and whatever he's compensating for with those long ties....

Edit: Oh, and I totally forgot to add: MOCK HIM ABOUT HIS "WEALTH." That's his real soft spot. He knows his hair is a joke, but a real-life billionaire who makes fun of his bankruptcies and shiny brass toilets is going to get under his skin like crazy.
