According to Fulton County Jail records after being arrested for 13 felony counts, former President Donald Trump is 6’3” and weighs 215 pounds. He apparently was able to fill out his own height and weight during booking. Many believe his height, but is his weight true?
There are many people online comparing Trump’s height and weight with athletes, like Lamar Jackson, Colin Kaepernick, Terry Bradshaw, and many other athletes.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is 6’2” and weighs in at 215 pounds. That means that Trump is the same exact weight as the best running qb in the league, but has a one inch height difference. This doesn’t come as much of a surprise due to Lamar Jackson’s size, although Jackson is all muscle and Trump is mostly fat.
One surprising comparison to Trump is Chicago Bears quarterback, Justin Fields. Fields is 6’3″ tall and weighs 227 pounds, the same as Trump. That’s a difference of 12 pounds! How can Fields be the same height as Trump yet weigh so much less? When you look at a photo of Trump, you can see his tummy sticking out, but Justin Fields appears slim with some muscles. Looking at these two, you have to ask whether Trump’s weight is a lie. How is it possible that this fit quarterback is heavier than this past president?
At 6’2″ and 225 pounds, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is shorter than Trump. I find it strange that Mahomes is 10 pounds heavier than Trump yet one inch shorter. Mahomes, like Fields, is fit and slender with muscle. Both Fields and Mahomes appear to be a lot lighter and have smaller hips than Trump, so why are these quarterbacks much heavier than him?
These quarterbacks work hard and condition every day to keep fit, yet Trump does almost nothing and shows no difference on the scale. How is it possible for Trump to be the same height and weight as these fit quarterbacks? I don’t think he is anywhere close 6’3” and 215 pounds. What do you think after comparing him to these quarterbacks? Is his weight a lie? Do you think he’s attempting to appear fitter and skinnier than he is?
