In April Trump told court officials in Manhattan he was 6' 2" and weighed 240.

Former President Donald Trump told police he weighs 240 pounds and stands at 6 feet, 2 inches when he was arraigned at a lower Manhattan courthouse this week, Mediaite has learned.

Perps are required to provide certain personal information to police during arraignments, including their height, weight, and occupation. That information is recorded alongside the names of their arresting officers, typically on an online booking sheet system.

A source familiar with Trump’s arrest said the former president told officers he has a weight of 240 pounds and a height of 6’2?, the latter metric coming in at one inch shorter than what he usually claims.

The thing about lies is keeping them straight.

1. He just finally got that late 70s growth spurt

you hear about all the time. And... started working out (even though he thinks that wastes your muscles). And skipped a couple meals. That's the ticket!

[ecstatic]

2. I don't understand why a guy over 6 ft needs a lie about his height

Why does he feel the need to add additional inches?

[yonder]

4. For the same reason he wears those ridiculously oversized clothes:

So he can claim his jacket is an XX long while claiming his pants have an overly long inseam of XX (which of course drag about those sorrowfully woebegone, unfortunate cuffs wherever his stunted mind points his Itallian leather clad but assuredly lifted undersized feet to go). I dont know how tie length is measured but one can be sure he claims a LeBron length there too and for the same reasons.

The result is as pathetic as it is hideous — all in the name of schlepping around his whole unseemly mass underneath that monstrously oversized vanity/ego thing.

I guess somebody has to be him.

6. It makes his BMI lower.

He doesn’t want anyone to calculate his BMI and conclude that he is ‘obese’. Or ‘morbidly obese’, which is probably where he falls with his real height and weight.

3. 215lbs is what he self-reported 🤦‍♂️

7. LOL

[republianmushroom]

14. He meant to say 315 lbs, but got confused with the bright lights.

[Cha]

5. Figured he'd need an extra

inch and less lbs in Georgia?

[malaise]

8. The Slobfather is a pathological LIAR

10. That means 6'0" 285

[Johnny2X2X]

11. I thought he was weighed in New York

6-1, 274.

[moonshinegnomie]

12. He did it for this reason

If he flees the country they will be looking for someone weighing 215 not 300

13. In other news, the Easter bunny is REAL! I saw him hop past my patio door with Cadbury Eggs.

15. In Trump universe

...this doesn't even make the book of 1000 biggest lies.

[Jean Genie]

16. So svelt and robust

Most unusual to gain height in one's seventies. People usual shrink a bit. But then, Donald is unique - and ever so special - isn't he?
And as for his weight; perhaps he's been working out, playing golf, jogging (?), etc. to achieve that trim, manly physique of his.
Remember; "Ronny," his former physician (now some Texas Congressperson), stated that Donald is in such good shape that he could easily live to 200; defying all odds and all logic; not to mention all common sense.

17. I wanted to see the height lines on the wall behind him.
