Trump Claims He ‘Shares a Body Type With World-Class Athletes’ in Ridiculous Truth Social Post
This post on Truth Social was actually posted at the end of August, but considering Trump releasing his “doctor’s letter” that says basically nothing of value, just that Trump is in exceptional physical and cognitive health, I think it’s worth revisiting again.
Back at the end of August when Trump was arrested in Atlanta, he gave the clerks his personal information and he claimed he was 6’3″ and weighs 215 pounds. 215 pounds. WHAT THE HECK IS HE DOING?? Trump hasn’t even seen a courtroom and the man is already telling huge lies.
The stats, which were pre-reported, indicate that Trump is 215 pounds with a height of 6’3″ — 25 pounds lighter and 1 inch taller than when he was booked in Manhattan in April. So he’s lost 25 pounds in the last 4 months? This guy?
Trump’s weight left many users on Twitter absolutely incredulous, with many truly howling with laughter.
“215? That’s an insane lie,” tweeted Rick Wilson, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump political action committee.

“If Trump weighs 215lbs, then I have flowing blond locks past my shoulders,” Wilson said in a second tweet, which is funny since we all know Wilson is bald.

“There is ZERO chance Trump is 6’3” and 215 pounds,” Democratic strategist Sawyer Hackett tweeted, including an image of Trump’s booking details, which also list the former president’s hair color as “blonde or strawberry” and his eye color as “blue.”

But Trump isn’t laughing, in fact, he’s going all in. He posted on Truth Social a link to an article in the Daily Mail titled “Donald Trump shares a body type with Muhammad Ali, Lamar Jackson and heavyweight champ Oleksandr Usyk! The 77-year-old boasts ‘IDEAL’ height and weight by listing himself at 6-3, 215 as he’s booked in Atlanta”
UPDATE: It appears Trump has deleted this post, but luckily we got a screenshot! The internet is forever, Donnie.
He also posted another article, this one from the right-wing rag DC Enquirer that was headlined, “Donald Trump Blows Up The Internet With Impressive 6’3″, 215 Pound Weigh In, Comparable To NFL Star”
Let’s be clear, this man doesn’t weigh 215. Maybe he does on the moon? I can’t believe he would even lie THAT MUCH. He could’ve said 270 and he’d be lying, but it’s a more acceptable lie. 215 is just laughable. I mean COME ON:
Here’s an incomplete list of athletes with the same height and weight as Donald Trump who said he was 6’3 and 215 Pounds.

This guy actually said he weighs 215, and I guess he did it with a straight face?
And of course now we have a doctor letter, that Trump released on Joe Biden’s 81st birthday just to troll him, stating that Trump has LOST weight by eating better and being more active. That’s just a lie. We see Trump almost on a daily basis and he looks no different. This was Trump just over a month ago:
Check out that girth. That’s not a 215lb man, and he certainly doesn’t share a body type with worth class athletes. That’s just laughable.
The reactions were amazing:
FC Jail: State your height.
Trump: 6’3”.
Jail: State your weight.
Trump: 215 lbs.
Jail: You realize we have rats here bigger than that?
Trump: So do half the buildings I own.
Jail: Wanna try again, maybe with more believable numbers?
Trump: My supporters believe anything. pic.twitter.com/kTif3B97bS

The narcissist strikes again. Trump’s self-reported, svelte 215 lbs. is utter hogwash. — Just another absurd lie to file away with thousands of Trump whoppers Americans have identified and blasted to pieces. Adding insult to injury of the lie, Trump has an extensive, obnoxious… pic.twitter.com/YGMdtjeCM6

FC Jail: I’m sorry, did you just say you weigh 215 lbs.?
Trump: Yes, that’s right.
Jail: That first digit is a “2”?
Trump: Yes. Is there a problem?
Jail: I can see why you found the vote count confusing. pic.twitter.com/BFKZ4TLKXU
