There was no claim, quote or anything else for him and lifts. You are engaged in pure projection.

This is what you said.



Trump was speaking about Harris wanting to stand on a box. Your "reasoning" said that means Trump is wearing lifts in his shoes.

It does not follow aka

Definition of NON SEQUITUR

an inference that does not follow from the premises; specifically : a fallacy resulting from a simple conversion of a universal affirmative proposition or from the transposition of a condition and its consequent… See the full definition

Harris wanting a box doesn't mean Trump is wearing lifts. That failing reasoning 001, not even 101. It would fail in the remedial class.

He could have accused Winston Churchill of wearing lifts. The result is exactly the same. Trump admitted to wearing lifts.

Trump also causes Trumpnadoes to terrorize the planet, in which Trump clones spin out of the sky and make mean tweets everywhere. It's true! Run with it! He also killed the dinosaurs and caused the global warming that ended the last Ice Age. 100% true! Be the first to claim these and get all kinds of likes from your fellow Trump Haters. Do it now before someone else gets there first!

I'm not sure what the utility of this is, but whatever. Frankly, I think this is akin to demanding that supermarket checkout clerks stand. At my local supermarket they're allowed to sit and everything is fine. They're also a lot happier and that shouldn't be the surprise of the century.

Well what do you think is going on there? Do you think they're standing on the same podium they put Olympic athletes on?
 
Obama is 6'1".

If the accusation came from Bloomberg then based on Trump's reaction I'd say he hit the nail right on the head.

Somebody must have hit Bloomberg on the head numerous times with a 2 by 6 to make him that short.

Fortunately, Pandas are such a prized animal, no one would dare turn one into hamburger. That would be like slaughtering cows in India for food.
We saw the Panda sanctuary in Chengdu and realized how precious those animals were to the Chinese.
 
What about his weird “toe pads”? Do they count?

Parallax effect: Trump is clearly beside and behind Obama in this picture.

But in the straight on photos Trump is clearly shorter than Vance...

And maybe even slightly shorter than Obama...

Great choice for a video vividly explaining why this entire discussion of Trump's height has any connection whatsoever to the reality of a presidential debate.
 
Cardinal said:
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.

Let him wear pumps if he so wishes.

Body Language experts have pointed out for years that Trump's leaning forward posture (to the point it looks as if he'll fall)
is due to 3 inch lifts in his shoes.

I think they should both wear their high heels if they want, and each should have a podium at the height they prefer.

Now you're being silly. Did you watch that Monty Python video which puts this whole discussion into the correct perspective?
It explains it all.

That's not the question I asked you, but just like you to avoid.
It isn't cool to make fun of anyone's physical appearance. Why do you keep doing it? Does it make you feel like a big man?

Can't say without seeing. Is his height more important than any/all governing issues we complain about?
