Oh, if only someone here lived in New Jersey and wanted to give Rudy Giuliani $100,000 tonight, we could actually do some on the scene reporting here. We could see America’s Mayor and maybe dance with him. Then and only then would we know if he’s telling the truth about his height and weight. The weight is interesting. He’s claiming to be 15 pounds heavier than Donald Trump. And actually, the weight might be true. It’s the height that is going to blow you away.

Now what’s interesting about this is that Rudy grew two inches on the afternoon he was booked. Oh, yes. And he gained 50 pounds, in just that one day. I don’t want to even ask what was in those vending machines. We don’t make any of this stuff up. We don’t have to, it’s already stranger than anyone can imagine.
In the case of former Trump personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, who surrendered on Wednesday, jail records initially listed him at 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds. But later the same day the numbers had changed without explanation to 5-foot-11 and 230 pounds. An individual who accompanied Giuliani to his booking, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive subject, said they did not recall anyone asking the former New York mayor for his height or weight, nor do they recall him being asked to step on a scale.
And here’s a first: Jeffrey Clark reported himself as 5’3″ and there are people who know him who say he’s of “average male height” which would be 5’7″. I have never seen a guy underreport his height, exaggerate it, yes. But never underreport it. But he was not alone.
David Shafer, for instance, the former state GOP chairman who was charged in connection with his role organizing the meeting of an alternate slate of presidential electors, is listed on his booking record as standing 5-foot-5, weighing 150 pounds with black hair and blue eyes. Public appearances show Shafer to be taller and more heavyset than that, and with gray hair and brown eyes.
Another alternate elector charged in the case, Cathy Latham, is listed with blonde or strawberry blonde hair. Latham’s hair is gray.
Jeffrey Clark was listed as standing 5-foot-3. But two former Justice Department colleagues who requested anonymity to discuss a sensitive topic said they recall him being of average male height.
But wait, there is a logic to this. Stay with me now. Why would you underreport or overreport your height/weight and mis-report your hair/eye color? The logical advantage is, that if the cops put out an APB on you, after you escape from prison say, and they’re looking for some guy that’s 5’3″ and they find a guy who’s 5’8″, why logically they should let him go right?
One individual familiar with the booking of a co-defendant in the case said the person’s fingerprints and irises were scanned electronically. But the individual said the sheriff’s staff did not ask for the defendant’s height or weight, nor was the person asked to step on a scale. Those numbers did appear on that person’s booking record, but they didn’t match the person’s profile, or their driver’s license, and the individual has no idea where they came from.
Numbers coming out of the blue and finding their way into official documents. I’m sorry, I have no reason to criticize the Fulton County Sheriff’s Department, but this is getting plain nuts. They should have done height/weight measurements, just like in a doctor’s office. Then we would know.
The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump Republican political committee, launched a contest last week offering a free mug to anyone who accurately guessed Trump’s weight. BetOnline, an online wagering site, published odds on whether Trump’s weight is over or under 278 pounds.
“There is no way that Trump is not over three bills,” BetOnline writer Adam Greene offered. “None. This is the easiest money you will ever make on a wager and I would literally bet my house on it.”
Donald Trump is over 300 pounds. I would bet the farm on it, too. Guiliani may be 230. And if he’s 5’5″ which is what I suspect, then he’s obese, as is Trump. Look at him standing next to Sidney Powell. Powell is reportedly 6’0″ and that I believe, because the cultural bias is opposite with women. A woman will never report herself as taller than she is. (Well, maybe if you’re short and want to be thought as slinky model material, I suppose.)
Being tall is a cultural advantage among men but a disadvantage among women. I hope you will believe me when I tell you I had a roommate in college who was 6’0″ and her parents were thinking about some kind of surgery to shorten her legs, fearing she would be unmarriageable. You believe that? True story. As it turned out, she married a lovely guy who was 5’10”.
And here he is right next to Trump.
I think Trump is 5’10 or 11 and I think Rudy is 5’5″. Hell, let’s be generous. Let’s give Trumpty 6’0″ and Rudy 5’6″ shall we? But in no universe is the man on the left 5’11” and the man on the right 6’3″. Unless I am the twin of Verushka, the Russian model who towered at 6’4″ — and was reportedly dating Al Pacino for a while, and he’s a foot shorter. They must have made a striking couple.
You know who’s never lied about his height? Joe Pesci. He’s 5’3″ and if you don’t like it, he’ll stab you in the hand with a ball point pen.
Anyhow, isn’t the human preoccupation with height and weight fascinating? And aren’t the denizens of Trump world liars about everything? Yes to both.
Is it just me or does Rudy look like the court jester dressed in “civvies” instead of the normal costume?
More like the very short but successful in busines decades agovampire who has to.climb on a box to tang f anyone’s neck if the are over 5’2″.
He looks and waddles like the Joker from all the Batman movies.
Hey Joe Pesci is to be envied. He was sleeping with a young Marisa Tomei, who was 28, and also 5’3″in My Cousin Vinny. She wanted to get married and have babies. Tough duty Joe. Plus, being an expert mechanic from a family of mechanics, Joe would never have to worry about his vehicles ever again. And to top it off…she is Italian. I may have to cancel my tryst with Beyoncé in Sicily, and get Marisa to join me for homemade pasta, olive oil, cheese, and local red wine. MAMA MIA!!!!
Oh, I digress. Of course they lied, like they do about everything.
My cousin Vinny, is one of my all time, favorite movies! TYVM
I still insist that Traitor Tot is no taller than 5’8″ without his lifts, and if he weighs 215, its 215 KILOGRAMS! (multiply 215 times 2.2 to et his weight in pounds)
No, he’s in the 5’10” range, realistically and he wears lifts. He was photographed next to Tiger Woods on the golf course and Woods is over six feet and you can’t wear lifts in golf shoes, I’m told. Trump was a few inches shorter. But no way is he 6’3″. That’s total b.s. And Rudy would kill to be 5’8″. He’s 5’8″ wide, maybe.
I may be under-estimating his height by a couple of inches, but I am not over-estimating his weight! I had a friend (sadly he became a MAGA) that was 6 feet and slightly over 400 pounds, and he did not look as obese as Traitor Tot.
With regard to females: my sister was, at her tallest, 5′ 8-3/4″. To this day she says when she was at her tallest (people shrink over time BTW) she was 5′ 9″ and not 5′ 8″ or less. Not sure where these females are where they short-change their height nor why they would do so. Adding inches gives the illusion of non-obesity. Works on both sexes too. lol
I was up to a mere 290 something. Just got my height checked and that’s 5’ 10”. I’m down to 250 something. But I gotta tell you that Trump is full crap. He’s at least 350. I’m pretty muscular being as I work. Retired from regular job but find plenty to do around the house.
not sure about the pic with Powell, as she may be standing on something behind the podium. It does make her look a full head taller than Rudy.
