President Donald Trump is seven inches taller than the former New York mayor he frequently disparages.
He may only be one inch shorter than the average American man, but the way Democratic contender Michael Bloomberg is described by President Donald Trump, you would be forgiven for thinking he can barely be seen above the debate rostrum.
Donald Trump speaks to former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg during a memorial service at the National 9/11 Memorial September 11, 2016 in New York. Trump has frequently mocked Bloomberg's height, calling him 'Mini-Mike'.Trump's barbs could be because at 6 foot 3, he is the third tallest president ever, behind Lyndon Johnson's 6 foot 3½ and Abraham Lincoln, who at 6 foot 4, was not just a towering historical figure.
Mini Mike is a 5â4â mass of dead energy who does not want to be on the debate stage with these professional politicians. No boxes please. He hates Crazy Bernie and will, with enough money, possibly stop him. Bernieâs people will go nuts!:"You know what the schoolyard is like for boys and there are times that Trump exhibits schoolyard behavior."
"For a lot of people who don't follow politics too closely, their decision between two candidates may come down to 'who looks more like a leader?'""If you think about what national leaders are asked to do, their primary function is protect the existence of the country and one of the primary threats to the country are invasions from other countries to occupy and take over the country.
Still, Bloomberg does not have to look too far back to see that height is not everything. In 2012 Barack Obama [6 foot 1] beat Mitt Romney who was an inch taller.
