5-8 isn’t that short. I believe the average height for American men is 5-9. Men one standard deviation above — in other words, really tall men — are at least 6-2.
The lower standard deviation starts at 5-5, I believe. I’m working from memory here, so anyone please correct me.
I’m 6-1, so I’m a little crushed by being just one inch below being classed as tall.
On the other hand 6-1 is a good height for finding clothes than fit and most other purposes of everyday living.
And little old ladies are constantly asking me to reach for merchandise on the top shelf at Big Lots.
You might not be really tall, but you are tall.
And Bloomie is well below average—though again, that to me shouldn’t be a factor in selecting a prez. I know tall plays well particularly in person and on TV, but the MSM could give Bloomie a couple of pillows and all the right angles to take that away as a real issue IMO.
Which is probably why Trump has realized he needs to go after him as a target sooner rather than later.
