Trump weight stuns media: Former President weighs in at a healthy 215 pounds

 August 25, 2023

Former President Donald Trump's Thursday night booking into the Fulton County Jail in Georgia sent ripples through social media, with users eagerly discussing the details.

The 45th president was processed into the Fulton County facility close to 8 p.m. ET in Atlanta, resulting from charges tied to his efforts challenging the results of the 2020 presidential election, Fox News reported.

The booking information detailed him as standing at 6'3" and weighing 215 pounds, with descriptors of "blonde or strawberry" hair and blue eyes.

Media Observations on Trump's Data

The Washington Post noted that this weight is almost 30 pounds less than what was reported during Trump's last official White House health examination.

Similarly, the New York Post stated that, based on these recent measurements, Trump is 25 pounds leaner and an inch taller than his recorded data from a booking in Manhattan this past April.

ABC News indicated that Trump's height and weight details were provided in advance to expedite the booking procedure.

A Social Media Sensation

The internet was quick to respond. Within moments of the details becoming public, tweets, shares, and comments began pouring in.

"6'3 215," commented Trump associate Alex Bruesewitz. "Absolute elite athlete. Trump 2024."

Citizen Free Press tweeted, "Jake Tapper flabbergasted that Trump is in such good shape. 'Wait, what!?'"

However, many users expressed skepticism about the measurements.

Rick Wilson, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, a political action committee opposed to Trump, tweeted, "215? That's an insane lie."

Wilson, in a second tweet, stated, "If Trump weight 215lbs, then I have flowing blond locks past my shoulders."

"215 pounds? No f—ing way!" Hollywood filmmaker Rob Reiner declared.

Democratic strategist Sawyer Hackett tweeted, "There is ZERO chance Trump is 6'3" and 215 pounds,"

Numerous X users juxtaposed Trump's height and weight with those of prominent athletes, highlighting the notable visual differences with comparative images.

NFL writer Scott Kacsmar drew a comparison by tweeting, "Larry Fitzgerald – 6'3″, 218 lbs. Donald Trump – 6'3″, 215 lbs. LIKE HELL," referencing the ex-NFL star wide receiver.

Kevin Tripp from KABC radio mentioned, "Lamar Jackson and Donald Trump both list their stats as 6'3″ 215lbs," alluding to the Baltimore Ravens quarterback.
