The larger podium is for Donald Trump, and the smaller one is for Hillary. That way, if the do a split screen view, she will appear larger in relation to the podium and he will appear smaller.
The way to fight this is for him to be sure there are many shots of him and her in the same camera view. He will dwarf her and her toy furniture.
Her podium was custom made by FAO Shwartz.
Yes, I think you are correct. An elevated podium for Trump will give a proportional perspective of body/head, so that Hillary does not look like a little kid trying to peer over the top of the podium.
Is this another case of Rita Cosby getting the story backwards?

I hope you are right. But this morning I am seeing stories to the effect that she will be allowed to stand on some sort of platform, allowing her to appear equal in “stature” to Trump. The problem is, I thought I saw a story the other day that the Election Commission stated that that is not allowed.
