Yes, as I said, Prince William looks taller. I don’t know what Wills weighs, but subjectively he looks thinner in the photo that was shared. It’s weird you have absolutely clarity on his height, but are gobsmacked when it comes to his weight. If you figure it out, circle back but by then maybe no one is interested. As for you wasting your own time, well, I have no control over that, lad. That’s 100% on you, and seems kind of foolish on your part. I mean, I’ll try to help you: 4th, if you reply to this post, you’re embarrassing yourself, so please, have some self-respect.

I provided a link to a photo of DJT (6’3” per his doctor), next to Dan Bongino (6’1”). I explained why I posted it. The response was that Bongino actually represents The BIG HEIGHT industrial conspiracy complex. I mentioned Heavyweight Boxing Champ (and live dude) Larry Holmes and was told he didn’t matter because he’s dead. Prince William looks taller and thinner than Trump. He doesn’t look like he carries the frame of a Derrick Henry, Tim Tebow etc, either.

No “maybe”, just “do”.

Seriously? 🤣 I don’t follow baseball, and let’s be fair—some liberals confuse heavyweight champions. I heard one posted stormed into a Walmart demanding help in buying The Larry Holmes Grill.

Again, just me, but I’m uncertain how one extrapolates height and weight from that baseball card.

“A Treatise on Apathy In The Age of Trump” by T. Frankish Reich

You’re sending over pictures of professional athletes 50 years younger than him as the benchmark for what a certain height and weight must look like, promoting acknowledged domestic violence enablers as experts, and confusing heavy weight champions. Yes, I think you care about his height and weight. On the other hand, I calmly and rationally answered questions posed to me, shared what I thought about the situation and pointed out some of the foolishness posted by you and others. Consider getting worked up like I have, and allowing wisdom to take the wheel—- you may one day find comfort in the embrace of rational thought and a reasoned reply.

I thought you were the athlete height/weight kink guy based on your recent activity. I tried to send an athlete more representative of Trumps age and size, who looked nothing like world class athletes in their prime. Larry Homes is still alive, btw, and he would probably kick your a&& for claiming he was dead or a liar.

Time will tell, and of course you may be right. Unrelated to your post, I want to tell @Joe Ferguson forever I have seen all episodes of Taxi and all three Back to The Future movies (some on multiple occasions) and have no idea how tall Christopher LLoyd is, or how much he weighs without checking. Tall, skinny is my best guess in case it comes up.

Carnival barkers and internet pretend doctors have a lot in common is my guess. I am neither. I used Bongino as a reference because I was looking into that secret service agent who protected Trump, in some photos Trump appears taller than him, and that lead to Bongino. In the photo I linked to, if Bongino is, as you seem to suggest, part of the VRWHWCC (vast right wing height and weight conspiracy crew) is 5'11, I'd still think Trump pretty close to 6'3". To be clear, I didn't ask Bongino--I don't know him. I have a brother, he's about 6', maybe 6'1'. I'd have guessed he weighed around 190, 195. 210, he tells me. I have been seeing him all my life, regularly, in golf shirts, no iron dress shirts, and the occasional bathing suit. I was off by quite a bit, it's just not in my wheel house and perhaps why I never became a carnie.

You're asking me to judge his weight and height based on this photo? I can't do that and would be surprised if a doctor would make a declaration as to specifics of height and weight. I believe it's impossible to know what he might be wearing under his jacket, there is precious little perspective to gained by looking at the surroundings, and it appears he has no legs, which would definitely impact his weight. Using this photo, he appears one and a half stories tall, he is larger than the cars in the background, and there is a person the size of a raisin off over his left shoulder. That just seems crazy, man. My guess would be that he's pretty tall, and is carrying some extra fat around the waist. Here's a link to an article with photo of him standing next to Dan Bongino, who google suggests is 6'1" tall. In the photo, Trump appears quite a bit taller, so 6'3" wouldn't surprise me. When I check other sources, he appears taller, but not markedly so. In those photos, if Bongino is 6'1" tall, Trump would appear to be 6'2" - 6'3", though Bongino might be 6'1 and 7/8th or 6'1 even, or wearing clunky shoes, or standing on a box...and that matters. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13714559/who-dan-bongino-wife-paula-andrea/

The other posts, where you compared the body type of professional athletes in their prime to a 78 year old guy? I googled retired heavyweight champ Larry Holmes, age 75, listed on AI as 6’3” 225. He didn’t look anything like Larry Fitzgerald, who, interestingly, looks like a high school senior compared to DK Metcalf in the photos provided. I didn’t comment because it was silly. I commented on Le Batard because he’s been in the news recently and I’d question what he says. You could be right on Trump’s height and weight, but maybe we gotta trust the doc and his science?

I don’t believe it’s idiocy, I believe it’s strategy.

Is this the same Le Batard who just acknowledged “laundering” the image of Tyreek Hill when it came to allegations of domestic violence, or is that a different Le Batard?

That all makes perfect sense, those injuries in your profession would be disastrous. If the running for office thing falls apart and Vegas thing gets traction, you’re welcome.

Sounds like you had a pretty good run--- playing competitive basketball into your 30s. I respect that, but the getting hurt part--were you playing hoops over a pit of alligators? Most of the guys I know who played and/or still play complained about bumps/bruises and worst. Or, was your self-employment reliant on not blowing out knees, shoulders or trouble with anything related to something that sounded like "L4" or "L5"? Plumbing contractor? Stone Mason? Vegas Showperson?

Let's not forget about your early 40s and your foray into martial arts.

For God’s sake you’re a lawyer! You people analyze, declare, reimagine and reinterpret information for a living. Now you’re opining on another brother maybe putting a thumb on the scale? 61 is the number. Plus or minus. At or near. Or as Chi famously opined, if it’s off a bit, special rules for “electeds” must be considered.

Thanks. Were you comfortable with the business-as-usual approach pre-Trump-tariff? Do you feel that the country was on the right track, economically and fiscally? Were we prime for a substantial correction in your opinion? Assuming worst case scenario as you see it—does the economy recover in a year, two, or never? I have no hidden agenda in asking, I just try to deal with what’s in front of me and control what I can. To that end, my plan remains the same. Understand that emotion often drives the market, and we have lots of emotion in play these days (some driven by those that prey on emotion in the market). Save. Invest. Diversify. Consume appropriately. Keep panic at bay remembering the message points of 2008, 1987, the lean oil years of the 70s and all that came before.

It doesn’t matter to you, perhaps, because you were a fan of his agenda. As for the country doing well, there were scores of people protesting all sorts of things that implied otherwise. The unfairness of having to honor debt incurred. People not paying their fair share. The inequity of the tax rate beginning at precisely $400k. Oligarchs behind every tree in every city in America. Socioeconomic climate inequities. The rights of the establishment v the rights of parents. On the other hand, quite obviously tens on millions of people rejected the notion that the country was doing well and voted accordingly. You’re free to push on and never give a thought to Biden, but I don’t feel inclined to follow suit. I will say that I believe the collective devotion of hardcore leftists (and more than a few centrists and moderates) to overzealous and heavy-handed government under Biden lead to the election of DJT. In that regard, I credit (or blame) you (the collective) more than everyday Trump supporters. Be that as it may, and to honor your request to push on, what exactly do you mean by “veritable economic disaster”? What do you see happening in the next several days, and what are the ramifications long term?

Kemp….the doors a’closing poster. Classic.

It’s a fascinating thing to watch, the evolution of silliness on JBs condition. At least they finally moved away from “He stutters a bit”.

I heard that the pandemic started in China, and that subsequently, the Chinese government was completely unwilling to participate in a deep dive into the origins of the virus. Everyone has their own journey though, and if you are in perpetual search for the G spot, roll on, soldier.

You live your truth, you crazy son of a b-tch. There’s a purity there, I suppose.

That pandemic was something else. Where did it get started again?
