Donald Trump's reported height and weight interestingly match those of a prominent NFL quarterback.
On Thursday, Donald Trump turned himself in to authorities in Fulton County, Georgia, facing charges related to efforts to challenge the state's 2020 election results.
This event marked Trump as the first former U.S. President to have a mug shot taken and to be formally charged. Jail records indicate that the 77-year-old Trump stands at 6-foot-3 and weighs 215 pounds. Trump's listed weight quickly became a topic of discussion on X (previously known as Twitter), with many jesting about the 215-pound claim. Notably, Trump was reported to weigh 244 pounds back in 2020.
The online community on X drew parallels between Trump's stated measurements and those of notable sports personalities. Interestingly, the 6-foot-3 height and 215-pound weight exactly match the stats of New Orleans Saints' quarterback Derek Carr. After parting ways with the Las Vegas Raiders, Carr inked a four-year, $150 million contract with the Saints. The team, with Carr at the helm, is widely seen as frontrunners to clinch the NFC South division. They are scheduled to kick off their 2023 campaign at home against the Tennessee Titans at the Caesars Superdome on Sept. 10.
Over his professional career, the 32-year-old Carr has amassed 35,222 passing yards, boasting 217 touchdowns and 99 interceptions. The accomplished quarterback, who has made it to the Pro Bowl four times, guided the Raiders to the playoffs in 2016 and 2021.
Separately, last November, Trump publicized his intention to vie for the presidency in 2024.
