Trump exposed by recent side-by-side photo flagged by journalist: 'Clearly lying'

A journalist flagged how a Trump lie was exposed by a recent photo.On an episode of The Daily Beast Podcast, host Joanna Coles said she's slightly fascinated that Trump gets away with lying about his height. Coles said she noticed he's shrinking after looking at a picture of him standing next to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD).He's shrinking into the giant shrimp that Steve Bannon said that he was, Coles said. I think that Donald Trump is literally shrinking as we see him.Trump's height has been reported as 6'3 by other outlets citing his medical records. Coles said that Thune stands at 6'4, and when she saw them standing next to each other earlier this week, she thought Trump is definitely not 6'2, she said.John Thune looks like he's got four inches on him there, Coles said. I know size isn't supposed to matter, but I think it does in this situation.Trump biographer Michael Wolff noted, Donald Trump is 80, and, you know, you shrink.Thune looked more presidential standing next to Trump, Coles added, while Wolff described Trump as grotesque, clownish.Coles joked that Trump has accelerated shrinking syndrome, a diagnosis she made up on the spot because of its initials.
