Katie Using Words

Fulton County walked a fine line. The press and the public demanded a mugshot and full booking info just like any other accused criminal. But there had to be pressure. Of course there was–almost certainly from powerful and wealthy players. Release the info, but his team gets clearance first.

If you doubt for a second that such a compromise was reached begrudgingly on both sides, read up on the booking comments. Hair: “Blond or Strawberry”. A fresh dye may excuse this overly generous description. But the mugshot is tell-tale. Take a look at the lighting and his features. His fierce scowl, the way the side light hits his nose and jaw. Look at the chin. See how it doesn’t look quite natural, actually quite smudged? The (proper) right side of his face also looks quite smudged. It’s as flattering as it gets for a man who doesn’t typically scream “photogenic”.

If you think this was a lucky snap on a terrible day for the former president, consider what his alleged co-conspirators looked like during their mugshot sessions with the same agency:

Four are terribly washed out. One (upper left) is generally out of focus. The rest show every line, most of them reflecting a harsh light source from above. In fact, none of these don’t have a light spot or band across the face. Except for Trump. He has no shadow under his (proper) right eye, as he should. But he does have a soft light glow on his right shoulder. It’s wrong. The lighting is wrong. The details of his features are wrong. None of the problems severe–in fact, very well executed. Except, if we’re being honest, you noticed that the photo just doesn’t look quite right. Right? Even if you’re not sure how or why.

My assertion? (Without proof.) I’m confident Trump’s team organized a professional photo shoot designed to look like a mugshot. It was submitted to Fulton County as an approved mugshot for them to release. Everyone goes home happy.

Except…his team was too bold. They couldn’t be satisfied with just a Glamor Shots mugshot. They had to egregiously lie about his weight. A bridge too far, team. A bridge too far.

Back in 2020, his weight was officially listed as 244 lbs. Already that was pushing credulity. Visual evidence decidedly demonstrates that he is obese and in spite of his casual outdoor hobbies, he has terrible dietary habits and no actual exercise regimens.

He’s a fat man.

I don’t like “fat shaming” anyone. I really, really don’t. We all have psychological issues, hereditary issues, illnesses, etc. Being overweight is not a measure of character or strength.

But this dude cannot run to be President of the United States and submit such bald lies regarding his weight. We do trust our “lying eyes” and we know that this guy is obese. It’s just insulting. It’s absurd. And somebody has to call it out in plain terms: He’s a fat man. No matter what he and his team say.

First, let’s consider his height. It’s up for debate, even by Trump. His arrest booking and White House medical reports claim he is 6’3″. His driver’s license brings him down to 6’2″. But his co-defendants’ statements and photo comparisons against other presidents bring him down farther to 6’1″. That’s probably accurate. Let’s face it. Of course he’d like to add an inch or two, but it doesn’t hold up to photographic evidence.

Why does his height matter? Because that helps determine just how much his girth impacts his overall health status. Take a look below.

If we believe his staff’s assertions, then he’s overweight. Aren’t most of us? But if he’s a couple inches shorter then nearly every single instance of Trump’s weight given to the public brands him as obese. Oops. That’s not good for optics.

On the other hand, if all of a sudden he’s only 215 lbs–suggesting a 29 lb. weight loss in the past 2.5 years (according to his own team’s information), he’s only moderately overweight no matter his height. Huh.

Does he really look like a man who’s lost 30 lbs these last 3 years? Here are two images. One is from 2020. The second, from 2023. You can decide if he appears to have shed 30 lbs. (Or if he’s a strawberry blond.)

Of course, it’s hard to tell what’s going on under those suits that only obscene wealth and gross ego can buy. So let’s compare him to other public figures.

None of this is scientific, mind you. But it’s pause for concern if you’re a person who even remotely believes that his arrest record is accurate.

Trump is a big fat liar.

He is no fit specimen. He is no superhero. He’s disgusting and in ill health. But most importantly, he is a liar. He is a big fat liar. Never forget. Don’t be fooled.
