Trump's driver's license casts doubt on height claims
POLITICO ^ | December 23, 2016 | Darren Samuelsohn

Posted on 12/24/2016 7:26:32 AM PST by Trump20162020

Donald Trump and his doctor claim he’s 6-foot-3, but his New York driver’s license says he’s actually an inch shorter.

A copy of Trump’s license, obtained by POLITICO through an open-records request, lists the president-elect at 6-foot-2.

Oh good grief.

It’s not like the DMV couldn’t ever make a mistake.

When was the last time you had your height checked at DMV?

Never.

Has Robert Reich chimed in with his .02 worth?

I saw this posted yesterday and my first thought was, "Hey wait a minute - I tell the DMV what to put on my license!". No one took my vitals - although one guy did mention that my hair was more gray than blond.

you can actually be taller in the morning than the afternoon.

Back in the late 60's when my dad was a Detroit police officer, there used to be a height requirement in order to get on the force.

There was an Asian guy who repeatedly failed the initial physical because he was just below the height requirement.

Finally one day he actually had his friends carry him in on a stretcher, straight from his bed, and he passed........LOL! That's a true story too......

Hah, my oldest daughter went to the DMV for a license renewal, she noticed a spelling error in her middle name on her new license, ( Anne vs Ann), she pointed it out to the DMV drone while still at the window. They checked the application, it was correct there. The DMV’s soultion? Stand in line again and submit for a replacement license

That is an example of how accurate the Virginia DMV is.

So “journalists” who ignored or covered up DECADES of Barack Hussein’s life are now fretting over Donald Trump’s height! Does anyone still wonder why the media has lost all credibility?

I had a job that required me to be standing and walking for about nine hours. I never took breaks or lunch. I would always have to adjust the mirror down before driving home. I knew it was because my spine compressed due to all the standing, more so than when I had desk jobs.

For me, the effect was more pronounced because of scoliosis...

Errors occur. It’s no big deal unless the error affects someone’s health or well being.

Personally, I haven’t changed the weight on my DL for many years. It’s not a mistake, but it’s also not entirely accurate. :) Until they make you get on a scale at the DMV, that’s how it’s going to stay.

If only the journalists would have put even a tiny fraction of this sleuthing into zero’s SS number, Selective Service registration, college admission status and birth certificate.

My husband is listed at 6’3” on everything. However, he has
a sort of scoliosis situation and poor posture. If he would
stand up straight, he would be 6’4”. - They don’t “measure”
height here at the TDMV for drivers’ licenses, so it’s just
whatever you estimate your height as being that goes on your
license.

Libs gonna crab non-stop.

Hillary was probably 135 lbs. back when she first got her
license; but that had to be over 50 yrs. and 50 lbs. ago.
- Does she even still drive? - I’m 70, take some meds that
cause dizziness and I’ve taken myself off the road for
ya’lls sake. - I started driving at 16 yrs. old and CAN
drive if I have to in an EXTREME EMERGENCY; but so far have
not had to.

I may not have been entirely truthful when asked for my weight on my DL. I doubt that I am the only woman that has done that.

I think I'm going to start using the airline suitcase measurements for my height ...

length + circumference.

That means that I'm getting "taller" every year.

One inch difference? Newsworthy. What else is Trump hiding?
