    The effusive wanderings of the good doc ion the health of an obese old man indicates that he is suffering form a bad case of "Potomac River Water Fever". He well understands Trump's vanity at not wanting to noted as obese and goes along with the charade of his supposed height of 6'3". For reference, here is a picture of Trump with Mark Sanchez (6'2") https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/license/153281776.

      Men lie about their height like women lie about their weight. Being a six footer means a lot to more guys than you would think and a whole bunch of men within an inch or so of six feet claim six feet.

      Shrinkage as you age is an unpleasant fact. The more you weigh the more you shrink. I was 5'6 1/2" when I graduated from high school and 5'8 1/4" at 21 - all measured height. (Men grow more slowly than women.) Since doctors take your word for your height and not your weight I had put 5'8" on medical and government forms for years; that is until at M.D. Anderson they measured my height a year and a half ago - I was 5'7" exactly; dang it no wonder I look more like a little old man every day. I was 68 at the time. So I've been putting that on forms since then. I bet a lot of folks choose to ignore that pesky loss of inches, especially if they have a decent quotient of vanity.

        i doubt trump is lying about his height. in that photo he is slightly bent forward, that and the camera angle make him look shorter. watch him in other activities next to people that are 5'10"-6' and its readily apparent trump is a few inches taller than them. photography and angles can change someones appearances. look at tom cruise, the guy is almost a dwarf yet in film they make him look 6' tall , all thru angles.

          I hear there are people called "girthers" who claim that Trump and his coterie are lying about his fitness. It's a funny name and obviously chosen for a specific reason.

            When the same Dr. held a news conference after examining Obummer, a reporter asked him, “How is he?”

            The Dr. replied, “He is fine.” There were no other questions. At this news conference, he was grilled like he would be if he was on trial at Nuremberg.

            Get over it. Trump is over 6’ tall and weighs around 230 pounds. His blood pressure is good, his heart rate is normal, he is not diabetic, and nobody can accurately predict what his health will be 10 years in the future. I had a friend that had never smoked or drank alcohol. He was a very physically active guy, and a high school football coach that ran a mile 5 times a week. He was dead at 48 from a stroke. I had an aunt that drank a fifth of gin everyday for 50+ years and lived to be 94. Another friend that never smoked died of lung cancer at 60.

            Genes have much more to do with longevity than your sleeping habits.
