In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump shared that no boxes or artificial lifts will be allowed during the debate, equating the use of the height-enhancing items to cheating.
No boxes or artificial lifts will be allowed to stand on during my upcoming debate with Comrade Kamala Harris, he wrote on Saturday. We had this out previously with former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg when he was in a debate, and he was not allowed a lift. It would be a form of cheating.
He added, And the Democrats cheat enough. You are who you are, it was determined!

Sooo, does that mean that they are going to check his shoes?

If ABC did it right, Trump might not notice until just his head was above a hole in the floor.

(22,340 posts)It's an assertion of power. It's hostile, aggressive and belittling. She should use a step and let him bellyache.

(94,388 posts)Every indication is that he has always used his body-mass to slam women around & to tower over them in a threatening manner. Because its who he is.
One of my former Senators was Barbara Boxer, who was quite petite. She tasked her staff with placing a wooden box behind her podium so she would not be dwarfed by it. Thats not cheating thats good planning to level the visual playing field.

(32,932 posts)shakes her head, and rolls her eyes in disgust. And, then laughs at him, since he admittedly hates being laughed at. And, for that reason alone, I hope she spends the entire debate laughing at him. You want to troll him and drive him nuts? That's the way to do it.
I can't imagine VP Harris would be intimidated by that syphilitic fuckwad's antics. She's dealt with far worse people than him as a DA and as AG.

(1,136 posts)So, he's already taller than she is, at 5' 4". Pretty much average height for both. (I'm a shortie at 5' 2.5" .
But, he feels inadequate. He has to be bigger, taller than anyone. He's no way taller than Obama. My guess is, six foot, about 250 to 280 pounds. Fat and flabby with it, you can see it in his golfing clothes pics. My oldest son is just shy of six foot, weighs about 240 lbs. Trump is fatter, but not taller. Middle son is 6' 2", maybe 210 lbs. Trump no where near that build.
He just wants Harris to look small behind the podium, which is likely, as I'd guess they're built to look better for him. Like cars are built for an average height man, and most of us women just don't fit that well.
More evidence the man is flat-out crazy. Not that the media will admit it.

VP seems to be about the same height as Hillary and it did not hurt her.

(52,092 posts)1) remind viewers he often praises Putin and Kim Jong Un, who are short (and she could mention how cowed he looked standing beside Putin at Helsinki), and
2) ask if he has lifts in his shoes.
JI7
(90,331 posts)and just all men in general but she stands out as Presidential.
Her running mate is much taller and it doesn't take away from her presence.

(11,463 posts)Trump is all about performance and perception. I'm sure he'd love to stalk VP Harris around the stage as he did with Hillary but it won't work and would have negative effects. His obsession with being the strongman in every situation has always been a disguise for the man's small, petty nature.
These last minute howls and demands indicate Agent Orange is extremely nervous about the debate.
He should be! It's his turn to be humiliated.
