Trump: "William Taft ... he was a large man. Loved the hot dogs at the baseball games. He was our heaviest president, and I have to be careful, because I don't want to supersede his record. And a thing like that would be possible if I allowed it to happen."

His "official" weight of 238 pounds at 6' 3" tall is obviously quite low. I'd say pretty close to 300 lbs.

I don't know why people repeat that as if it were true. He is 6' even. And he weighs at least 280. Very possibly over 300.

Proof: John Thune is 6'4". He towers over Trump. President Obama is 6'1.5". He is definitely taller than Trump.

He lost a lot of weight once he left the White House. He was never a small man, but if you compare pictures of him as president versus him later, it's obvious he was slimmer.

Trump may be 300, but he's not 340. If he gains any significant weight at this point, it will kill him.

Taft was 5' 11.5". Trump lies so much his height is unknown. But for sure pedo Trump is very close to Taft's height.

Taft's weight was 332+. Trump's weight is unknown because of all his lies but at a minimum he weighs 300 pounds. My uncle at 6 feet looked like Trump in shape and he was over 300 pounds. So though Taft weighs more than Trump, Trump is very close to Taft's weight.

The man is nucking futz. Taft did go to baseball games, he started the throwing out the first pitch,

Where are the people around him to stop him for saying or posting insane shit.
