Former US President Donald Trump was found guilty in a Georgia jail on charges of election tampering. In addition to having a police photo taken in a possible manhunt for him, Trump’s height and weight were also recorded in the prison documents – and it is precisely this aspect that currently overshadows the debate over his actual indictment.
The president’s height was given as 1.90 meters (6 feet, 3 inches) and his weight as 97 kilograms (215 US pounds), which would correspond to a fairly stately figure – “slightly overweight” is defined by body mass index (BMI) the combination of these values with his age.
So he would be just short of the ideal weight of 72 to 92 kilograms. A heated debate immediately erupted: Did the former president lie about the information?
Very healthy?
Trump is known to play a lot of golf, but is otherwise not necessarily known as a fitness fanatic. Also the fact that he usually appears in very wide coats is seen by many as an indication that he tries to hide his real stature a bit.
The statement being made now is also nearly 30 pounds (about 14 kilograms) (about 13.5 kilograms) lower than his last official White House doctor appointment as president. Comparisons with elite athletes are now being attempted on social media.
Not the only inconsistency
However, according to the Washington Post, this isn’t the only inconsistency Information – even with Trump’s co-defendants there were clear deviations from reality. For example, his ex-lawyer Rudy Giuliani was initially described in the court documents as 1.79 meters and 81 kilograms; before the information was changed without explanation to 6 feet and 240 pounds, the newspaper said.
According to the Washington Post, an anonymous source who allegedly accompanied Giuliani does not recall the accused former New York mayor being asked about his height or weight at all. Giuliani was also not asked to step on a scale.
Desired weight lied?
Where exactly the responsible officials would have obtained the information remains a mystery for the time being. Even Bill Hallsworth of the Georgia Sheriff’s Association doesn’t know how Fulton got the data, the Post continues. For example, it is speculated that the data could come from outdated driver’s licenses.
But another theory is also very popular on the internet: Trump could have been asked just like that. As so often, he could have just lied.
