Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yeah...... Him claiming to be 6'3 and 215lb is hilariously insecure. That would make him roughly 30 pounds heavier and an inch taller than Justin Trudeau.
That's hilarious
I'm 6'1" and 250 lbs and in way better shape than him. It is physically impossible for someone with a body like him to weigh 215 and be 6'3", he's either lying about his height, his weight, or both (it's definitely both). I'd guess he's probably like 5'8" and 300 lbs.
He's still a pretty big dude compared to the average person. You can take a look at pictures of him next to Trudeau, and he only looks a couple inches shorter than him. I'd say he's prob around 6ft with some help from his lifted shoes, but he's definitely pushing 300lbs.
He's the same height as Obama and Obama is 6 foot.
He wears shoes that add 3 inches to his height. It’s why he’s alway hunched forward. (They’re basically concealed platform heels.)
Just saying…. He’s even shorter than we guess.
I work in orthopedics and rehabilitation, specializing in orthotics and prosthetics. I often have to build lifts into shoes to accommodate people with limb length discrepancies. He definitely wears lifted shoes, but the most you can really hide without making it very noticeable is about an inch, maybe an inch and a half.
With the type of dress shoe he wears and with his age, there's no way he'd be able to manage a 3" heel lift. If I were to guess, he's prob got a 3/4 to a 1" lift in his shoes. Which would be more than enough to create an anterior pelvic tilt.
The hunched over thing can also be a symptom of dementia
