Trump posted this on truth social, which means he's wearing lifts in his shoes. Should Trump be allowed to make himself appear taller than he really is in order to have an advantage over Harris?

One obvious response to this is that women wear high heels, so why not Trump? And I think that's a reasonable question. However, women don't hide the fact that they wear high heels, so if Harris wears those then so should Trump.

 
Harris is 5' 4", Trump 6' 3". Give Her a 12" platform to stand on, or put Trump in a 12" deep hole.
 
If she can have a lift, he should too.
It's racist not to allow Trump to have one.
 
Why would it matter what the rules are? He'll do whatever he wants.

He's the perfect role model for kids who are watching. Just don't follow the rules.
 
Yes.

As I've made clear, if Harris wears high heels then it's perfectly fine for trump to wear them too.

Agreed, but his tweet "X" was referring to a box to make her appear as tall as Trump while standing.

If she can have a box to make her taller, so can he.

He is such a big powerful man, we need to highlight that power which was respected in the stone age, when women knew their place.

Not only racist to ask for the black/Indian lady to stand on a box, very misogynistic too.
 
This discussion is like something out of "Monty Python's Flying Circus".
With so many other important aspects of this upcoming meeting, does anyone really think high-heeled shoes should factor into the analysis?
