AbsarokaEven his doctors are full of it
Eager Eaglemaybe he was 6’3" in the 80s and has been in denial since
empireOfLove2Might be 6’3 if he was stretched out on one of those Medieval torture racks.
To quote an old post “there must have been a second or two where it felt amazing”
The whole time feels amazing, if you’re a spectator
ZikejiI undergo weekly spinal decompression therapy. While not exactly the same as the medieval torture devices, being strapped in and having my spine pulled from both directions with 200lbs of force is pretty close.
And yes, it feels amazing for a second or two.
May I ask what condition you’re treating with that therapy?
In my spine my L5-S1 and L4-L5 are herniated (as of 2017, haven’t checked if any more are). Full on herniated, not bulging. It started when I was 20, and my doctor said surgery should be avoided since it could impact my quality of life significantly at my age (not that my QoL wasn’t already severely impacted). Epidurals and physical therapy didn’t help.
Back then it wasn’t miserable 24/7 but it had it’s moments. Eventually I had an “episode” where I was bedridden in immense amounts of pain for a solid week. During that desperation I found the IDD option and started that. It was rough back then at the start. But within weeks the constant pain died down and I recovered mobility as well as my sciatica improved.
Through… Losing a job I discovered the effects wear off after 2ish months and I start being susceptible to the episodes and random function loss again, so now I just go weekly to keep things peachy. It isn’t full recovery obviously, I still wind up in pain if I do too much with my back, even stuff as little as bending over slightly to do the dishes (because I’m tall), but it beats being disabled in constant pain… Those few episodes I’ve had haunt me. Being so helpless I couldn’t even.
Do you have a home traction/decompression setup?
No. I’ve considered it though, but I’m a tad worried it won’t make a difference considering the options I’ve seen probably don’t result in 200lbs of force being applied.
Noooo that sucks
Sorry to hear overall though glad you’ve also shared the sliver of a silver lining, so you give a tidbit of hope there
Closing with words bound to sound empty: wishing for research on this for you
Every time I recall those episodes, and the pain, it gets easier to do, emotionally.
And theoretically I could just get it operated on - there have been improvements in the field. But the prospect of going under the knife is scary, especially in an area where one fuckup or miscalculation could lead to partial paralysis for life. Throw in a mix of abusive American healthcare and… Weekly therapy is more preferable.
CatoblepasYeah, I was gonna say whatever is going on with his spine might be hiding a few inches. You’d be amazed how many inches you can lose to curvature without looking like Quasimodo.
But I doubt he was ever 6’3”. That sounds like a number he picked years ago because someone he hates is 6’2”.
What spine?
he always look like has a humpback though. him using lifts, and a girdle gives him a very awkward stance.
Much shorter when he visits the gallows.
i think if hes too heavy, he would break the gallows before he can get hung from it.
Those are two different measurements.
He’s six feet tall.
And he’s three inches.
And he’s three inches.
On a good day if you start measuring from the top of the asshole. Guess that doesn’t really narrow it down though.
I had a boss once who went through a bitter divorce and many people at work were Facebook friends with his soon-to-be-ex-wife. She made one post where she described him as “ol’ three inches two minutes”.
And Trump wears those weird lift shoes all the time as well
Probably a specially-designed hat lift too, it’s one more place to gain the appearance of height. I bet there was even a meeting about it with adults who took it very seriously.
doctors’ always measure my weight, but just take my word for height
JaySame. I can’t recall any of my doctors ever measuring my height. The police and RCMP tho both kept pretty good records of my teenage growth years.
My doctor’s office measured my height along with my weight last year. First time I remember since I’ve been an adult. I’m an old white woman and apparently I’ve lost an inch.
Maybe it was just cold in the office. Happens to the best of us.
Cute joke, but more likely osteoporosis, preceded by childbearing. Pregnancy hormones make tendons in general soften/stretch, in order for the pelvis to let the head through. I had C-sections, but my feet got bigger and apparently the rest of my bones sagged a bit too. And now I’m getting thinner vertebrae.
My wife lost an inch, then had to have a vertebrae fused in her neck and she got the inch back.
Pissed off my daughter as she had just outgrown my wife, only for my wife to pass her and force her to do it again.
[deleted] in lemmyMine uses the most recent height measurement that they took and check every few years. They check weight regularly though.
Driver’s licence office takes whatever I tell them. Last tien I told them I was losing weight and they used my target weight. Might be accurate at some point before it expires in a few years!
They measured my height the last few times I was in for a physical.
I think it’s because I’ve reached the age where they want to see if I’ve started to shrink.
My primary care takes my height and weight every time I go in and I’m well below the age where people start to shrink.
Cid ViciousThis is one of the ways you can tell that his recent health report was bullshit.
Per the report, Trump’s height and weight are 75 inches and 224 pounds, respectively. Scans of several body systems—including the eyes, ears, neck, throat, and heart—came back normal.
I’d fudge that info too if it meant not getting sent to the gulag
Considering what it means to be his doctor (and the sights, sounds and smells you’d experience), I think I’d take the gulag.
Have you seen his doctor, worse crazy eyes than Kash.
collage pls
I’m 6’3 225 and I can assure you, I’m not nearly that fat. Brody is pushing 270 EASY.
As someone who has also been 6’3" 225 agreed. He is definitely heavier than that.
he wears the oversized suits, and baggy clothes to hide his girth.
Pilling on, am 6’4", at my heaviest (about 305) I still never looked that, eh, bloated. I’d have been more ~350lbs looking like that. Now I’m down in the 210’s with still a little more to go.
Hypothetically, if all of his muscles were at the absolute minimum viable volume and density and he had an absurd body fat ratio, how different would he look?
If you replaced all muscle and fat in a 6’3 body with marshmallow fluff, you might end up looking a bit like trump
There’s no way he’s 100kg.
I’m 6’3 and I wasn’t that fat pushing 300lb.
i suspect more like 275 at the minimum. i wouldnt be surprised if he was very close to 300lbs.
224 lbs, sounds more like 275lbs.
At an absolute minimum he would be listed as “pre-diabetic”.
The dude has my build, and I’m around 300 pounds. Actually I’m only 6’2”, so especially if he’s claiming he’s taller than me, that weight is way off
TrickDacyWho cares though?
Lying liars shouldn’t be running countries, especialy when they are petty, boldfaced lies that show how insecure they are.
Since the 80s we’ve known he’s a fucking liar. This is just boring and irrelevant
blitzenHe does. That’s why it’s fun to point out that it’s wrong.
Touché
they why lie about your height, weight and health?
Because they’re fucking liars. Pretty simple
Also note that Donald is wearing lifts in that picture.
How much is it in normal units?
100 miles
About 190
192 cm to be exact. I only know this as I am that height.
About 143 kilos
