    Was Taft actually bigger than Trump? He was only 6ft, 243 lbs. Trump claims to weigh 215 which is preposterous. Trump is probably closer to 315 than 215. He also claims to be 6'3", but is a little shorter than 6'1" Tiger Woods in a photo I saw.

        You get stuck in a bathtub one time and suddenly you're the fat president forever.

      There's no way taft was 6' and 243 lbs. He was either shorter or heavier, or both. Or was he filled with helium?

      Edit, per Google AI because I'm too lazy to look at the actual search results- He was 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall and his weight was between 325 pounds (147 kg) and 280 pounds (130 kg)
