I know it’s the end of the year and things are slow and liberals are blinded by their hatred of Trump, but come on MSM. You can do better than this.
A few days ago, Politico posted a new bombshell report on Donald Trump. Prepare yourselves. This is straight up earth-shattering. Are you ready for this?
Trump frequently claims he’s 6-foot-3, but his driver’s license says he’s…6-foot-2 OMG SOUND THE ALARMS!!!!!!!!
A copy of Trump’s license, obtained by POLITICO through an open-records request, lists the president-elect at 6-foot-2.
It may just be an inch, but size apparently matters to Trump. A letter that the businessman candidate displayed this summer from his longtime gastroenterologist — while appearing on the Dr. Oz show — stated he was 6-foot-3, though media reports were quick to point out discrepancies.
Politico got really into this too. They talked BMI and everything.
Slate, for example, posited that Trump was adding an inch to his height to avoid crossing into obesity territory — he also weighed 236 pounds — on the BMI index. That Slate article pointed to multiple media that pegged Trump as 6-foot-2, including Google, though the search engine now has Trump at 6-foot-3.
A special edition of Time published earlier this year profiling Trump also listed him at 6-foot-3 while noting “it irritates him that so many media outlets say 6-foot-2.”
The Trump transition did not respond to a request for comment about the height listed on his driver’s license, which was issued May 3, 2012, and expires on June 14, 2020: his 74th birthday and just less than five months before the next presidential election. His license is a Class D permit, the most common one for the state’s drivers, and comes with no additional safety restrictions.
In other news, we have reason to believe that Trump flosses– not twice– but only once a day.
