#FunFact #PresidentialTrivia #HeightMatters
Did you know Abraham Lincoln holds the title for the tallest US President, standing at a towering 6’4? That’s the same height as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson! In contrast, James Madison takes the crown for the shortest President, coming in at just 5’4. That’s like standing next to Tom Cruise! 😲
It’s interesting to think about these historical figures in a new light, and realize that height played a role in how they were perceived by their contemporaries. Can you imagine towering over everyone like Lincoln, or being the same height as Napoleon like Madison? It just goes to show that even something as simple as height can have an impact on how we view people in positions of power. 🤔
Next time you see a picture of these former Presidents, you might find yourself paying more attention to their height and how it influenced their leadership! #PresidentialHeight #TallVsShort #HistoricalTrivia

So Charles Barkley v. Mugsy Bogues.
And Obama was the darkest US President
EDIT: “figuratively”. Don’t lose the “” from that either
“Skinny guys fight till they’re burger.”
If Lincoln was 5’4″ maybe Booth’s bullet would have whizzed over his head.
And thanks to Rickets Madison left the White House at an impressive 5’2″.
Was Trump the fattest?
I am sure Trump thinks he is at least the same height as Lincoln.
According to Wikipedia – “In the thirty-one presidential elections between 1900 and 2020, twenty-one of the winning candidates have been taller than their opponents”.
James Madison gang rise up. 🥹
If I recall correctly, Lincoln’s height for his time is comparative to someone who’s 6’10” today. Genuinely a giant.
And of course Biden is the oldest. He looks like one of the vampires Abraham Lincoln hunted in the movie.
He needed that height to help carry his massive balls
James K Polk’s wife Sarah was so concerned he would go unnoticed entering a room because of his slight build she asked the Marine Band to play “Hail to the Chief” when he entered the room, still the tradition today.
And the president with the smallest hands goes to…….
Trump is 6’5″, weighs 240 lbs with 10% body fat, and can slam dunk a basketball.
My magic eight ball says Trump will claim to be 6’5 by Wednesday.
I’m surprised Kennedy isn’t in Madison’s spot, given his back issues. Do we have a list of how many of the presidents suffered from some short of back issues? I know Kennedy was wearing a brace the day of his murder.
That’s where they used to call James Madison by the honorific “lil’ Jimmy”
A lesser known fact is that James Madison had a very rapid fire way of speaking and is credited with being very musically gifted. Some historians speculate that, were he alive today, he would likely be recognized internationally for his dank rhymes.
Sidebar: let James Madison play a bowl game NCAA!
So if Ron Desantis becomes president he would be the tallest president ever measuring prolly around 7’8” by then
What are you talking about? Washington was 6 foot 7 and weighed a fucking ton!
The inch has changed over the years. Washington was probably 6′ 4″ too.
The Tottenham player?
Why does Lincoln, the tallest president, not simply eat the others?
I bet if we told Trump Lincoln was 6″4 that Trump would start telling people he’s 6″4 in the next few weeks.
Not uh. I heard Trump is 6’5! He’s very tall, hugely tall. The tallest president ever. In fact Joe Biden is actually the shortest president, so short, embarrassingly short.
Trump was fattest at 435lbs
Today I learned that James Madison is short enough that I could kiss him on the forehead.
Private Bonespurs just read that and is frantically shouting at Eric to go buy him higher shoe lifts!
And Donald Trump was the ONLY POTUS:
1. To be impeached twice
2. On trial in multiple jurisdiction for fraud, corruption
3. incited a potential over throw of the US Govt after losing a election
4. openly panders to dictators and praises them
5. openly declare his racism/bigotry for minorities and immigrants
6. openly talked about fondling women against their will
7. has a small dick. proven in court
8. talks sexually about his daughter.. like wtf
9. took NATIONAL and MILITARY secrets with him after leaving office and shared it with enemies resulting in many HUMAN ASSETS dying across the world.
10. hires his own family members into WH staff positions – Jared Kusher, Ivanka etc
So could James you know… standing up?
