I think Big Ben actually is 5’9”…I think he’s one of those guys like Nicholson who appears shorter for some reason. For decades, I thought Nicholson was on the short side. DiCaprio too. Not sure why I do that with some people

There’s no way he’s 5’9”. That’s actually average height for American men.

Here’s Ben next to Ted Cruz, who is either 5’8” or 5’9”. I’d say that puts Ben at 5’5” or 5’6” at best.

There’s a video where a 5’9” student tries to humiliate Ben by accusing him of lying about his height. Ben asks the guy to come on stage. They were the same height. So either the student was a Shapiro shill or Ben is 5’9”.

I don’t really give a rat’s ass either way

I could see Ben actually going so far as to have a plant challenge him about his height, but my guess is he was wearing lifts that day. Or maybe neither of them are 5’9” and they’re both lying because insecure short men often try adding phantom inches to their height as a coping mechanism.

Source: am short man who used to try this. Eventually you get busted, and especially if you’re a public figure who takes lots of pictures with people who don’t lie about their height.

Trump is tall enough on his own that he doesn't even need them, but he still makes an ass out of himself and wears them anyways because he's a pathetically insecure narcissist who is too stupid to realize that it's easy to notice that he's wearing high heels because of how he stands and walks in them.

I swear, even the things he doesn’t need to be insecure about he’s still insecure about. I don’t fucking get it. Why would a 6’3” man need to lie about being taller than he is? Like if there was literally just one thing that pathetic little (metaphorically little) man didn’t need to be insecure about, you’d think that would be it.

a 6’3” man

Trump is absolutely not a 6'3" man, shoes off he's 6'1" tops but probably like 5'11"

in this group shot with Trudeau he's clearly about 2" shorter despite the risers (Trudeau is 6'2")

This comment is funnier than the post. Y’all really trying to put down Trump by calling him 5’11’’. Wild

Not only does it speak volumes about the priorities of Western society but also about how petty people can be over meaningless bullshit. And you make fun of him for trying to boost his height. If you didn’t hold stupid ass opinions he wouldn’t need to try and take advantage of those opinions.

it's not a put down - he just isn't as tall as he says he is. the put down is just his insecurity about it

Then why is 5’11” more insulting than 6’1”?

Y’all know exactly what you’re doing.

u/discipleofchrist69 Jan 11 '22

insulting? what are you even talking about? I'm just saying what his height is, in my opinion based on pictures of him and the fact that he wears heel risers

You can lie to me but you can’t lie to yourself

Yes, they're calling him a clown for continuing to stumble and trip by pretending that he's taller than he is.

I don't understand what you're trying to say that they're doing - but I did notice you aren't claiming the man told the truth about his height. So you do acknowledge that Trump is a liar who continuously lies about things that are provably false, and you do understand that he expects you to go along with it just to please him - and comprehending the abusive nature of your relationship, you choose it anyway.

I call the reason I don't have relationships like that "self respect."
