Seems extraordinary even by his high standards!

That's negligible on the TrumpBullst scale!

Seems to be a growing "Girther" movement, questioning the validity of the claims....

Seems he has a history of telling fibs about his height:
http://time.com/4617469/donald-trump-driver-licens...

And indeed here is a picture of the 6'3" giant standing next to 6'1" Obama:

Who looks less happy, Michelle or Melania?

Melania's height is recorded as anywhere between 5' 9" and 5' 11", Michelle Obama is 5' 11"
Both have heals on, Melania's look about an inch taller than Michelles about 3" heals. Normal mens shoes add what an inch?

Add in the womens height and it looks like trump is indeed 6' 1" but thats one photo, although there are several more that are similar.

So why would a trusted doctor, allow team trump top corrupt him? White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders spent several minutes explaining why his assessment should be trusted. She read a letter written by Richard Tubb, a former physician to the president who trained Jackson and vouched for his integrity.

We know trump is obsesed with his image, overweight is seen as normal in the US, in some countries it's seen as an expression of wealth. Obese has a negative impact on a persons image and would indicate a need for change in his diet and lifestyle.

With a weight of 239 lbs, 6'1" gives a bmi of 31.5, 6'2" is a BMI index of 30.7, 6'3" is a BMI index of 29.9
BMI Categories:
Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
Overweight = 25–29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

So the results were just adjusted. We shouldn't be surprised with this administration

BMI is a very bad way to measure obesity, BF % is much better

I'm 6'2 with 250 lbs yet I'm around 17-18% BF which is even below average(healthy range is around 18-22%), yet I'd be considered obese according to stupid BMI

Trump is maybe 25% or so which is still far from obese and quite normal for his age

[SpeckledJim]

Weird how the BMI categories fall into simple easy-to-convey and understand round numbers.

Almost as if it wasn't based on proper biology at all, but was just made-up...

I'll agree BMI is a very simplistic calculation. Muscle weighs more than fat, but when you look at the bmi results you can see why trump grew a couple of inches. I wonder if thats part of the bubble around him that no one will give him bad news?

Still hopefully it's a wakeup and he plays enough golf. If he walked rather than ride the golf cart that would help, but it's probably more the McDiet thats the killer.

Haitians will no longer be eligible for U.S. visas given to low-skilled workers, the Trump administration said on Wednesday, bringing an end to a small-scale effort to employ Haitians in the United States after a catastrophic 2010 earthquake.

This is after Trump questioned why the United States would want to take in immigrants from Haiti and African nations, referring to them as “sthole” countries.

Sixty-five Haitians entered the United States for agricultural work, in the 2016 fiscal year, according to DHS data

Mexico in the firing line today, now 'rated the number one most dangerous country in the world' apparently, according to his latest tweet.
Err, I don't think so.

Trump has now added $7,200,000,000,000 to new US wealth since he became President.

Roughly 3 times the entire UK economy...

The single largest expansion in wealth in one year in global human history.

No wonder the Lefties are going mental!

Trump is personally responsible for every $ growth in the Dow? That’s an interesting theory

Where's he going to get workers from for Mar A Lago if he won't allow Haitians in? https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/03/20/the-...

Err, I don't think so.

What is his fascination with pissing them off?

His tweeting scuppered a state visit from their president.

Mexican judges can't be trusted etc

They are DEFINITELY going to pay for the wall whether they like it or not.

I'm sure there's lots of other examples.

Yipper, you show every indication of having zero understanding of anything you are posting.

I have no idea a who you are, but your 'internet persona' is really very odd.

You post some truly bizarre things that often don't make any sense, and the rest of the time you seem to be copying and pasting from other sources.

Edited to add: Your posting is genuinely childlike showing very little understanding of the topics being discussed.

Two things.
You do realise that he can't just go and withdraw that money, right?
Please explain how this has added to US wealth - you seem to be saying the 'money' is wholly in the US.

Oh, and please tell me what a 'lefty' is. I genuinely don't know.

leave off the lefties going mental and we could have a discussion.
Will you also allow Trump to accept the fault when the market drops? After all it's always peaks and troughs.

Which of his policies would you say has caused this or is it just a general feel good feeling, or maybe the promises of deregulation?

Look what he also needs to take the credit for...



And 2018 is off to a great start - 652 dead already.

Most analysts think the market is suffering from meltup, where there's a rapid price increase based on emotion, a fear of missing out on gains. It's still running as a bull market that started in 2009, not November 2016

Didn't Trump attack amazon the other day? Their stock is up 65% since his election win, yet Trump was complaining they didn't pay tax the other day.

Still it's generating US wealth - only don't celebrate with a Bud Yipper - they're owned by InBev - a Belgium company, so thats money going out the country.

Oh or have a Ben and Jerrys - thats owned by Unilever, Burger King is Canadian, as is American Apparel, Trader Joe - thats now owned by Aldi (german), don't smoke a Lucky Strike, thats british. 7-11 is japanese

China has huge investment in US companies. Even the chicago stock exchange is owned by them, GE Appliances, Ingram Micro, Motorola, several of the well known hotels....


So when you say 'new US wealth' do you understand how small the world is now and why trump was on about America first?

Makes sense. When the "correction" comes, I wonder what Trump will say.

In other (completely unrelated) news, did anyone else see the report yesterday that Apple's App Store business is on target to become a half a trillion dollar business next year? When you think back to what the first generation of apps was like, it's properly incredible.
