...The commission is allowing for a custom-made podium, which will accommodate the difference in stature.
If I were The Donald, I would have a platform behind my podium that is 18 inches high and would have a custom-made podium that would make me look larger but normal. I would force Hillary to build a freaking set of steps that she must mount to get to her platform which will then be about 36 inches off the floor of the stage. She will look ridiculous mounting up and the podium will dwarf her on the long shots diminishing her stature. And, if she falls off the platform, she will do a Humpty-Dumpty.
