    Perspective might be at play. Images can be deceiving. And height does not matter.

      Lying does.

      Lying about something vain and trivial doesn’t prove a person would lie about something more significant but it’s a red flag and needs to be considered. (My scaling here is based on the impact of political office)

        Except for Trump we have infinitely many documented cases of him lying about much more significant things, like bringing jobs back and prices down and $2000 tarriff dividends and Jan 6 and not being a pedo and making mexico pay for the wall etc etc etc

        Not disagreeing, but it’s a drop in the bucket

      Perspective

      Trump is walking in front of Ronaldo. He should appear even larger if he is indeed already taller side-by-side, than Ronaldo.

      Images can be deceiving.

      Trump is deceiving.

      height does not matter.

      • Speculation exists that Trump’s height may have been exaggerated to enhance his public image, as being taller is often perceived positively in politics.
      • Height has been noted as a factor in presidential elections, with taller candidates often perceived as more favorable by voters.

      Trump has been habitually lying about his body since at least 2016.

      As the other said: height does not matter; lying does.

      With every image he is in with someone? And since height doesn’t matter, why is he lying about something like that? Imagine how reliable he is with things that matter.
