I'm not in to football but I have to question why Ronaldo, who is by all accounts a pretty stand up guy, hanging out with the orange fuck wit that is the current president?
Ronaldo plays for a football team based in Saudi Arabia. That sheikh whose name I forget, the one who murdered the journalist Jamal Khashogi, was in Washington meeting with Trump. Said sheikh brought Ronaldo along, presumably because he’s good buddies with Ronaldo and wanted to show off his fancy sports puppet to Trump.
Ronaldo is also a petulant little child who got sent off for elbowing a player in a match against Ireland last week.
I looked into this and the official version seems to be that Trump is indeed 6'3". I find that unbelievable, I've seen so many pictures of him standing with known tall and known short people, and he never looks to be over 6'.
Old people shrink. In the various pics you can find of Trump and Bill Clinton together Trump usually looks to be about the same height as Bill (6'2), though in more recent ones he appears to be an inch or two shorter. He may still be 6'1, tops.
Lying about something vain and trivial doesn't prove a person would lie about something more significant but it's a red flag and needs to be considered. (My scaling here is based on the impact of political office)
Except for Trump we have infinitely many documented cases of him lying about much more significant things, like bringing jobs back and prices down and $2000 tarriff dividends and Jan 6 and not being a pedo and making mexico pay for the wall etc etc etc
Trump is walking in front of Ronaldo. He should appear even larger if he is indeed already taller side-by-side, than Ronaldo.
Images can be deceiving.
Trump is deceiving.
height does not matter.
Speculation exists that Trump's height may have been exaggerated to enhance his public image, as being taller is often perceived positively in politics.
Height has been noted as a factor in presidential elections, with taller candidates often perceived as more favorable by voters.
With every image he is in with someone? And since height doesn't matter, why is he lying about something like that? Imagine how reliable he is with things that matter.

Sadly the interconnectedness of the modern world means people of prominence need to suck up to those in power as to not draw their wrath.
Ronaldo might be representing some organisation that needs to be on the good side of the orange shitsack.

Ronaldo received a red card in the Portugal-Ireland, that got suspended after a dinner. https://apnews.com/article/world-cup-fifa-cristiano-ronaldo-ban-3d9e7b4eeeff0d4f93f21813869c5ed7

Maybe Ronaldo is wearing lifts?

This made me laugh. Well played.

I was thinking they probably both are anyway
BradleyUffner@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 270d
And Trump is in his high heels too!
frunch@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 270d
Thank God he didn't put on his "fuck me heels", they would have needed a wide angle to keep him in the frame

Trump was 5' 10" a couple of decades ago but miraculously keeps getting taller. He's been wearing lifts several inches high for years.
Blackfeathr@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 270d
You mean taller?
Lembot_0005@lemy.lol · 30 pts · 270d
The left guy pretends to be smaller.
Justas@sh.itjust.works · -1 pts · 270d
It's possible that Trump was taller 30 years ago but lost height due to age.

Extra curvature of the the spine from all the years of bending to interact with children.

I'm thinking this is it, yeah. Old people lose some height, commonly.

The left guy? lol
It's Cristiano Ronaldo

Perspective might be at play. Images can be deceiving. And height does not matter.

Lying does.
Lying about something vain and trivial doesn't prove a person would lie about something more significant but it's a red flag and needs to be considered. (My scaling here is based on the impact of political office)

Not disagreeing, but it's a drop in the bucket

Of course it's a drop in the bucket, that's all his little hands can carry!

Trump has been habitually lying about his body since at least 2016.
As the other said: height does not matter; lying does.
BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 270d
He's also old as fuck, maybe he used to be taller?
