height but Obama is only 6 feet tall.

Amazing isn't it?

EDIT - Someone said Obama is 6 foot 2. Either way TFG is no 6' 3"

holding you overnight and processing you for that. If for no other reason, your true weight would be pertinant information if you required any medication. You don't get to bring your own meds. Even our small 300 bed jail here has a pharmacy.

Wankers.
He may have been 6'3 in his 30's but everyone shrinks at least an inch, if not two by the time they're 70.

On edit - Blond to Strawberry for hair color? That's not even a legit official color.

My understanding is they put down whatever the arrestee says. (within reason. I imagine) Many of them misspell the name of their birthplace, even where they live now. Same way with your occupation. You may work at a restaurant, but if you say auto mechanic, that's what your booking sheet says. These things may get corrected later, but as a matter of expedience they can't investigate everything you say on the spot at the time of your arrest.

he weighs wouldn't have taken a heck of a lot of time. It's an extremely minor point right now, I realize... but it just goes to show the continuing deference to a major criminal. No wonder he thinks he's going to skate out on these charges and sit in the oval office again. He gets no treatment that tells him he's just a private citizen at the moment. The only one I can see even attempting to deal with *rump as a "normal" person is Fani Willis. More power to her. The rest of us are just flat out fed up with the bullcrap. WE sure wouldn't be treated this nicely!

6'3" and 215 pounds my butt. He's 6' (if that) and I approximate 285-295 lbs, at least.... all of it gravity affected layers of fat.

in such a way that it would work well even if they were very busy. They will follow those procedures at all times. I would imagine a jail of the size county may have had to process dozens of people today.

I'm not a police officer, but I sat on a civil grand jury in my county for two years. One of the tasks we were legally bound to do is to investigate every detention facility in our county. Such investigations can include a tour of the facility, interviews with any staff and administration and may be included in the report we were required to write and publish.

I suspect he chooses that particular number when he lies about his weight for that reason.

Obviously he's also lying about his height. With his lifts he was exactly the same height as Obama, who is 6 ft 0 in, AFAIK.

At least last time, Trump manipulated his height and weight to be slightly outside the medical criteria for obesity. Now he's just telling huge whoppers like this that insult the intelligence of even his cult members.

Trump is probably less than 6'3" and there is no way he weighs less than Rodgers.
