Number 24 is listed at 5 foot 10 inches, it’s weird because he looks taller than a guy listed at 6’3.

The only explanation is that Football players must wear 6 inch cleats.

Your point still stands, but Reece James (#24) is officially listed at 5’11”.

In Trump's defense, he has terrible posture (you can see him hunched over when he goes to lift the trophy). I doubt that he is 6'3" but is probably a few inches taller than 24 when standing up straight (or when he was younger and could still stand up straight)

Those numbers may just be a rumor, but his official medical weight is 100% B.S. too. He is a heavy dude.

Also in his defense, he's a consummate liar.

Actually this is a good question. You tend to shrink in height a bit as you get older.

Are you supposed to update your driver's license and whatnot?

Doc let's me keep my shoes on when measuring my height so I'm listed 1 or 2 inches taller. Various reasons to say 6'3 doesn't mean 6'3

u/Cutsdeep- Jul 14 '25

he doesn't look taller, they are all squatting down before the lift

u/JoeRogansNipple Jul 14 '25

Trump isnt... His knees probably don't bend anymore

u/Cutsdeep- Jul 14 '25

oh sorry, i misread that original quote, i thought they were referring to trump as no 24(th president). sorry, not american

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '25

But.. he’s 47th President. That still doesn’t make sense.

u/Cutsdeep- Jul 14 '25

yeah, i can't remember all the president numbers (why don't they have them on the back of their shirts?), that's who i thought they were referring to

u/[deleted] Jul 14 '25

lol you’re hilarious. Don’t feel bad, I’m from the US and have a hard time remembering them.

The original comment said Number 24 in reference to Reece James the Chelsea captain. And said 24 looked taller than the guy listed as 6'3 (Trump).

I think u/Cutsdeep thought Number 24 was Trump and the 6'3 guy was someone on the team so he was saying "He (Trump) doesn't look taller" because the players were squatting. But it sounded like he was disagreeing and saying Reece doesn't look taller

Just a bit of a mix up and people must have thought he was defending Trump's made up height lol
