    That seems to be true for Trump; unclear about the others unless I missed reporting on this. Did anybody follow-up with the Sheriff to see if others were weighed versus self-reported?

    Is Trump getting special treatment? Did Trump, or others here, make false statements to officials about their height or weight? I don’t think it’s trivial.

    It’s also fun to do this about somebody so vain about their own appearance and who has spent a lifetime making fun of others for their appearance or weight.

      IMHO, it must be self reported org taken from their license, which is usually also self reported.

      Powell is reported at 6f 170lb, which is how tall and heavy I am. And I’m a damn bean pole.

      I’ve been booked a few times. Height was measured accurately once (with a tape measure). But generally it was on the honor system or pulled from my license.

      Never been weighed in jail except when seeing the doctor.
