All the American Presidents in Height Order: Who were the tallest and shortest?

History Facts ^ | 04/14/2024

[SeekAndFind]

When we think of U.S. Presidents through history, we don’t tend to picture their physical frame so much as recall a collection of historical facts and anecdotes. If you imagine George Washington, for example, is a mental image of his presence in a room the first thing that comes to mind? Or do you recall a story about a cherry tree, or crossing the Delaware? With a few exceptions here and there, the physicality of Presidents has been largely obscured by history. Can you name the tallest president? The shortest? What about the second-tallest or second-shortest? A full list of the height of each President follows, spanning a foot difference from 5 feet, 4 inches tall to 6 feet, 4 inches tall.

Why is Donald Trump (6’ 3”) missing from the first picture?

Now do the weights. Taft wins by a landslide.

But,

You must take into consideration that the average height of people has increased by 3.9 inches over the last 150 years.

Lincoln being 6’4’’ means the man was HUGE in his time.

Americans are getting shorter now due to changing demographics.

- Joe Biden: 5 feet, 11.5 inches (182 cm)
- George W. Bush: 5 feet, 11.5 inches (182 cm)
- Herbert Hoover: 5 feet, 11.5 inches (182 cm)
- Richard M. Nixon: 5 feet, 11.5 inches (182 cm)
- William H. Taft: 5 feet, 11.5 inches (182 cm)

I am 5 feet, 11.5 inches tall too. My takeaway: I would apparently make a terrible President and I wouldn’t vote for myself.

[Red6]

Didn’t think of that.

Probably in most the Western world.

I read somewhere that blue eyes will disappear in some time... I guess that’s improving diversity? /Sarc.

[stanne]

They don’t think Trump was president. Ok.

[9YearLurker]

Only a few of the many over 6 feet are pictured.

[Nervous Tick]

>> Only a few of the many over 6 feet are pictured.

I get that. Why isn’t President Trump — #2 in height — one of them?

It’s an article about height of presidents put into service to minimize President Trump. Sorry to point that out but you know damn well it’s true.

[Nervous Tick]

Apologist for the fraudulent: then why is the shitbag Joe Biden included in HIS height cohort? Whereas President Trump is eliminated from his???

You must admit. This is just one more soft hit piece from the state/academic/media consortium! Or do you deny it?

[Laslo Fripp]

LBJ was as phony as a $3 bill. I shook his hand once. I doubt if he was as tall as listed

[Deaf and Discerning]

On the other hand,

William H. Taft was the heaviest president at 340 pounds (154.2 kg).

James Madison was the lightest president at 100 pounds (45.4 kg).

[9YearLurker]

They only show one of the top 10 in height.

And of course they don’t want to make Trump appear tall or presidential.

[wardaddy]

Much of the worldwide left wishes white Christendom esp male to disappear and will kill to achieve that end

I have heard Stephen Miller and MTG and Tucker and Bannon all agree on this publicly

We are in their way and they sell this to the developing world easily

[Nervous Tick]

>> And of course they don’t want to make Trump appear tall or presidential.

Bottom line: they are agenda-driven scum wishing to appear academic.

A pox upon them and their efforts.

[madison10]

Exactly.

[PIF]

6’1” seems a popular height for a President.

Biden is only 6’

[Steve Van Doorn]

said, "Lincoln being 6’4’’ means the man was HUGE in his time."

Lincoln was Haplogroup X which means he had a direct linage from his mothers side to Cro-magnon which had the same haplogroup. He had X1c likely Ancient Carthage and Phoenicians(real name reeds)

The tallest cro-magnons unofficially recorded were from Ralph Glidden found on Catalina Island of almost 12 feet all. most where close to 9 feet.

Then how about IQs?
