I Don't Think Sports Illustrated is Buying the Girther Report

[TheOther95Percent]

But than again, muscle weighs more than fat. Side-by-side photo comparisons with male athletes of the same height and weight.

1. I have no idea who Jay Cutler is or why he is naked.

[enough]

2. Because he can. NT

[TheOther95Percent]

6. Jay Cutler is a football player.

Or so the internet tells me. His wife snapped the photo and posted it on Instagram. I'm thankful Melania has not done likewise.

[smirkymonkey]

16. Ugh, god! Could you imagine?

Our faces would melt off.

[applegrove]

35. LOL!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

43. Are you sure Melania didn't?

[TheOther95Percent]

45. Ugh! Spit Warning!

[SergeStorms]

48. FAT BASTARD!

That's perfect! Trump shits bigger turds than Stephen Miller.

[nolabear]

15. Me neither but Id like to quote Oprah

Her response to seeing Danny Glover’s naked bottom: “The high and the mighty!” 😄

[Irish_Dem]

44. Me either, but they are all certainly nice looking young men. :)

[underpants]

3. I love the "Girther" name

No SI isn't buying it

[TheOther95Percent]

4. I do too. NT.

[onecaliberal]

5. There is NO chance he weighs anywhere in the 200's.

[meow2u3]

32. Sure, his weight is in the 200's

if it's in kilos instead of pounds.

[TheOther95Percent]

7. Also, some reports say he is 6'2" while this one says he is 6'3"

http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2016/12/donald-trump-lying-about-his-weight/

https://www.dailydot.com/layer8/donald-trump-height-obese/

Or maybe … he already is! Trump’s height has long been thought to be 6’2?. That’s also the height listed on his 1964 Selective Service registration card, which was signed by Trump under the sentence “I affirm that I have verified the foregoing answers and that they are true.” (His weight was listed at 180 pounds.) More recently, back in the Republican primary debate days, Trump stood next to Jeb Bush, who also professes to be 6’3?, and Trump was noticeably shorter (this includes the times when Bush was not weirdly stepping on his tiptoes). Madame Tussauds, which once measured the man for a wax sculpture, has become the source for certain Trump measurements, such as his smaller-than-average hands. But its Trump figure is no longer on display, and a spokesperson told Vocativ it “does not share information about the celebrities we’ve worked with,” including, apparently, their heights. So why would Trump start saying he’s 6’3? now?

[tblue37]

23. Because at 6'3" he's a pound short of "obese," but at 6 '2," he is officially obese. nt

[misanthrope]

24. Here's a site that deals in that specific subject

and there seems to be some doubt as to Trump's insisted height.

[madinmaryland]

8. How much does shit weigh per volume? That may be why he doesn't weigh as

much as we all think, because he is basically full of shit.

[TheOther95Percent]

12. Do you mean to say he's built like a shithouse?

[madinmaryland]

13. He is a shithouse, though without the bricks!!

[Lisa0825]

9. Muscle does not weigh more than fat. A pound is a pound. Muscle is more *dense* than fat, so

a pound of muscle takes up less space (volume) than a pound of fat.

found on teh google:

[TheOther95Percent]

11. Thanks for the correction.

This explanation only amplifies that Trump is not telling the truth. He is probably closer to 270 pounds.

Maybe Stormy knows.

[MLAA]

52. Maybe that is why he paid her $130k, to keep his weight confidential 😜

[localroger]

18. A fixed volume

...of muscle weighs more than the same fixed volume of fat. The same shorthand is used very frequently by engineers and material scientists, e.g. steel weighs more than aluminum, which weighs more than wood. Of course it's more complicated because aluminum is stronger than wood, so you need less of it, and steel is stronger than aluminum, so you need even less of it. But the basic "weighs more than" shorthand is something no professional would disagree with.

[Lisa0825]

20. As a former scientist, I have NEVER

heard anyone say x weighs more than y in this manner. It is typically something said by those NOT in scientific fields. In fact, most in science and engineering would use mass instead of weight in the first place.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

33. Yes you have. It is the definition of "denser".

More or less mass (weight see below) per unit volume is more or less dense.

You can quibble about the distinction between mass and weight (they are distinct) but for practical purposes in dealing with comparative measurements of human beings we have to realize three things: 1) the measurements are not so accurate that variations in gravity between Maryland and Texas would be noticeable, 2) health measurements are often weight measurements, not mass (scale measuring force on springs or similar), 3) In a gravitational field that is very close to uniform or is "uniform enough for practical purposes" then weight is effectively a proxy for mass.

Also, the logical implication of what you so carefully wrote is that you have never spoken to anyone outside of the scientific field in any conversation that involved the words "weigh" or "weight".

As a former scientist, I have NEVER heard anyone say x weighs more than y in this manner. It is typically something said by those NOT in scientific fields.

When you combine fact 1 (you have never heard) with fact 2 (typically said by those not in science), it means that you have not heard those not in science talk about weight.

Get out much?

[Lisa0825]

39. Parse my words as you wish, but the other respondent implied that scientists used such terms.

Last edited Tue Jan 16, 2018, 10:18 PM - Edit history (1)

That is what I was responding to, and I stand by that.

It is still incorrect, and those who work in science do not use those terms in such manner.

[WinstonSmith4740]

42. I'm just glad you pointed out the obvious.

I was about to post the same thing when I saw your post. It's kind of a Occam's Razor. I've taught Health & Phys. Ed. for years, and was in the health spa industry before that. I dealt with this every freaking day. It comes down to, "What weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of lead?" Once they got their minds around the fact they both weigh a pound, then they could focus on the difference in size, and suddenly the lights went on.

[Lisa0825]

50. Thank you! :-)

Ever since I first learned about mass, this has been a pet peeve of mine! LOL!

It is VERY helpful in terms of weight loss. When I work on my weight, I always use measurements to track losing "size" even when the scale doesn't move.

[localroger]

55. As a currently working scale technician

...I actually install, maintain, calibrate, and develop automated systems around weighing equipment. I work with the people who work with those scales in nearly every industry, from operators who can barely read to the engineers and managers who employ them. In my experience, both of your observations here are wrong. I have often heard the usage "x weighs more than y" as a shorthand for bulk material "x is denser than bulk material y." This has often come up, for example, in specifying the dimensions of hoppers for bulkweighers which must accommodate the right amount of the bulk material they are weighing. And I have never heard an engineer refer to mass in a practical context, because schemes to directly measure mass are complicated and hard to implement, while scales which measure weight are cheap and simple and acceleration due to gravity makes the relationship between the two pretty reliable.

10. ha ha. they included the undies one!!!l...

14. Oh, FU!! At least the picture was before he shit himself...

[localroger]

19. Are those the tighty whities

...he wore while chasing Stormy Daniels around the hotel room?

[Scurrilous]

41. That ass alone weighs over 100 lbs.

[SergeStorms]

49. Per cheek.

Making the grand total (not including the 'taint') over 200 lbs. Hey, I checked my math three times, that's really what it comes out to!

Love that picture of Moonie. Now there's a loon that died way before his time.

[Scurrilous]

53. Yep.

[BobTheSubgenius]

17. I am 6' even.

I weigh more than I ought to or want to, at 240...but I do a big cardio circuit around our "neighbourhood" (in the larger sense) 4 days a week, and a smaller one on the other 3. I also do about 3 hours a week on the rowing machine. As soon as I get my pensions sorted out, I'm going to rejoin the aquatic center. I did several years of lifeguard training, and, even though that was decades ago, laps are second nature to me.

The point of all that being...I am in *pretty good* shape, for my age (65) and size, and there is NO WAY ON EARTH that he weighs less than I do, even if it's only a pound. I'd estimate him at about 285.

[TheOther95Percent]

21. Thank you for sharing.

I'm wondering if Trump had both feet on the scale when he was weighed. I think he is morbidly obese and I don't think he's been drinking nothing but Slim Fast for the past three weeks to "make weight" for his physical.

[procon]

22. OK, lets add at least 50 lbs to Dr. Feelgood's report of Trump's weight. nt

[dlk]

25. It Looks Like the "8" Was Changed to a "3" in His Weight - It's Really 289, Not 239"

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

54. I thought it was a dyslexia problem

His actual weight is 329.

[Yavin4]

26. All jokes aside, the repeated lying from officials to benefit Trump is really scary.

First, its Republican senators lying about what Trump said in a meeting. Now, it's this report. Folks, these are hallmarks of Totalitarian regimes. Our institutions (the Senate, the military) rely on the integrity of its officials.

[thegoose]

29. You're right

From his party falling in line to "experts" giving false testimony, fascism is within their grasp.

Let's make sure Democrats slaughter 'em in this year's midterms! Everyone participate!

[rurallib]

37. I keep wondering why a doctor would lie for him

What does he have over that guy?

[mnhtnbb]

27. It is not uncommon for people to lose some height as they age.

Unless they measured him, they probably asked him his height. He could have been 6'3" at one time in his life,
but he may no longer be that tall.

I was 5'4" until I hit my 50's and all of a sudden I was less than that. Now at 66, I'm officially 5'3".

Interesting info from this article:

The human body is made up of fat, lean tissue (muscles and organs), bones, and water. After age 30, people tend to lose lean tissue. Your muscles, liver, kidney, and other organs may lose some of their cells. This process of muscle loss is called atrophy. Bones may lose some of their minerals and become less dense (a condition called osteopenia in the early stages and osteoporosis in the later stages). Tissue loss reduces the amount of water in your body.

The amount of body fat goes up steadily after age 30. Older people may have almost one third more fat compared to when they were younger. Fat tissue builds up toward the center of the body, including around the internal organs. However, the layer of fat under the skin gets smaller.

The tendency to become shorter occurs among all races and both sexes. Height loss is related to aging changes in the bones, muscles, and joints. People typically lose almost one-half inch (about 1 centimeter) every 10 years after age 40. Height loss is even more rapid after age 70. You may lose a total of 1 to 3 inches (2.5 to 7.5 centimeters) in height as you age. You can help prevent height loss by following a healthy diet, staying physically active, and preventing and treating bone loss.

Changes in total body weight vary for men and woman. Men often gain weight until about age 55, and then begin to lose weight later in life. This may be related to a drop in the male sex hormone testosterone. Women usually gain weight until age 65, and then begin to lose weight. Weight loss later in life occurs partly because fat replaces lean muscle tissue, and fat weighs less than muscle. Diet and exercise habits can play a large role in a person's weight changes over their lifetime.

30. Interesting. I do not think he is anywhere close to 6'3" based on photos of him with a mix of other

people. He does not tower over them. Per photos, Melania in heels is his height or very close to it. While she is tall, she would have to be over 6 feet tall in order for her to reach his height while wearing even really high (3" ) heels--she'd have to be even taller than 6' given that he is wearing shoes which probably add another inch or more (and I wouldn't put it past him to wear lifts in his shoes to keep the myth alive). Very few women are that tall. I think he is at most 6'1" and is padding his stated height so that his weight doesn't make him look as fat.

[Kaleva]

36. I used to be 6' 2" but lost an inch and I'm 59.

[dflprincess]

46. I've been 5'3" since I was 21

(somehow I grew an inch between 20 and 21 - the leg pains at the time were horrendous).

I am now 64. When I had my annual physical last fall I measured 5'4" - the nurse's only comment was that I must have managed to really stretch my spine out the night before. It is the only time I ever measured that "tall". But at least I'm not shrinking (yet).

[thegoose]

28. Is that tennis pic real?

Orange Fatass would never do anything that strenuous. Or get up out of a chair. Or move a finger.

[sandensea]

31. Or the height report for that matter

There's no way Cheeto's 6'2". I'm 6' even, and once (in 2013) shook Bill Clinton's hand at a rally; he must have been my same height.

Photos of the two presidents show that Clinton is a good inch or two taller than the Orange Oaf.

[Kaleva]

34. A pound of muscle weighs just as much as a pound of fat.

But muscle is more dense so a pound of it is smaller then a pound of fat.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

38. If Drumpf ever had to go up against Kam Chancellor

He'd shit himself

:large

[GreenEyedLefty]

40. DFT looks to be about 6'2"

Looking at pictures of him next to Bill Clinton and Mitt Romney, who are the same height. He's also just a smidge taller than President Obama who is 6'1"

He is NOT 6'3".

[radical noodle]

47. Older people who get little exercise

spread out. He's my age. Believe me.

[Lisa0825]

51. I wonder what his buddy Kim Jong Un weighs.

They are both so incredibly fit!!!
