Kick him in the nuts?
As you get older, people shrink. Like the wicked witch of the west.
But the lies are getting laaaaarger!
See, I am just the opposite. I won’t say I am 6 feet, I am 5’ 11 1/2".
You also grow a bit taller while you sleep, then shrink back down over the course of the day. But the real explanation is that Every. Single. Statement. emerging from Trump is a lie. (ETA, he wrote his own medical report’s summary, but i am sure his doc helped with the numbers and) also lied about his weight, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, etc. Essentially nothing in his medical report should be accepted as true.
I’m six feet tall from the waist up; I just got cheated in the leg department.
6’ 3"? I didn’t know we piled sh*t that high.
First off not all of my height goes up and down. My love handles, which account for 5’3 through 5’8 and a half of me, were misplaced onto my sides.
So they count.
I’m sure it’s just a trick of perspective, like double reverse foreshortening. But what do you imagine Trudeau is thinking in this picture?
Slightly off-topic, but my Frenchie thinks Trump is a liar, too. This was a couple days ago in my living room.
Edited to add: Please forgive the portrait mode. The subject matter wouldn’t fit in landscape mode from the vantage point I had at the time.
“Who knew Trump could Riverdance?”
Maybe it’s his aspirational height?
I’m exactly six feet tall, but have the same issue. I “sit” like I’m 6’4". Getting comfortable in the driver’s seat of a car has always been a PITA for me.
That photo must have been taken at the “Mystery Spot” area of the White House. https://www.mysteryspot.com
Didn’t exactly “lie” per se.
You can try, but it won’t be stable…
Same for me, short legs. My feet barely touch the ground when I stand up.
