A video circulating on social media has sparked controversy over Donald Trump's reported height, as he appears significantly shorter than Prince William, who is 6'3", despite Trump's claim of being the same height. The footage, taken during Trump's visit to Paris for the reopening of Notre Dame, has led to speculation and debate online, with some attributing the height difference to age-related shrinkage or footwear choices.
Presidential candidates Donald Trump and Nikki Haley have criticized Republican rival Ron DeSantis for allegedly wearing high heels to artificially boost his height. Haley, the only woman in the 2024 race, joked about wearing heels to tower over DeSantis at the upcoming GOP debate. Trump's super PAC trolled DeSantis by sending him a pair of Puerto Rican-themed boots with a prominent heel, accusing him of supporting statehood for Puerto Rico. DeSantis denies wearing lifts and insists his boots are standard. However, bootmakers suspect he is wearing lifts due to the way his boots fit and the shorter-than-usual heels.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis faced criticism and speculation over his choice of footwear, with rumors suggesting he wears shoe lifts to appear taller. DeSantis denied the allegations, claiming his boots were standard and off-the-rack. The controversy surrounding his height has become a topic of discussion, with some questioning his posture and the appearance of his boots. Height and perception of masculinity have historically played a role in presidential elections, and DeSantis' campaign advisers may have underestimated the scrutiny of the internet. Additionally, DeSantis has been accused of dishonesty for claiming to be 5'11" when his actual height is believed to be shorter.
