Due to excess gravity...as well as junk knees and spine, the 6'1" that I was for decades is now down to slightly less than 6'. I'm at 260 lbs...and Trump looks WAY fatter than me...like 50 or more lbs fatter.

Pretty much what I was thinking. We all shrink a bit as we age that’s an inch or so and he obviously has horrible posture.
Given his age he’s certainly lost at least some bone mass & muscle, he certainly looks soft and doughy to me.

Here's the problem with our guesstimates though-it is pretty well documented that TV adds a bunch of apparent weight. I've met/known at least a half dozen people in my life that are regularly on TV. The ones that appear normal on TV are in fact skinny in real life and those that appear skinny on TV are near anorexic.

I wonder if Vegas or some such is going to have official betting on his weight? Better still if something like Planned Parenthood acted as bookie it and got all the profits.
 
Yeah but isn’t the saying ‘the camera adds ten pounds’? In Trump’s case the camera would need to add like 80lbs.

I normally dislike mocking people for their looks but I make exceptions for those who routinely mock others’ looks like Trump does. He has richly earned all the mockery he gets.

Yeah, I initially thought he was around 195 but remembered he was listed at 6'2 ~240 in NY for a trial in April. I assume they at least got his height right. So worked up from there.
