Why would you make that face at a short person?

Donald Trump said "....Kahn reminds me very much of our very dumb and incompetent Mayor of NYC, de Blasio, who has also done a terrible job - only half his height. In any event, I look forward to being a great friend to the United Kingdom, and am looking very much forward to my visit. Landing now!"

He might be short but at least he can spell. I think he's about 5' 6". Perfectly good height.

Who could possibly care?

AvocadosBeforeMortgages · 03/06/2019 15:34

Google tells me he's 5'5" so I guess the other bloke is just massive

NameChangeMcgee · 03/06/2019 15:39

Bill de Blasio is 6' 5"

He is quite short. the BBC London political reporter is quite tall, and the interviews always look a bit like that.

Hotchox · 03/06/2019 15:45

OP - do you think Sadiq should have put more effort into growing or something...?

IHaveBrilloHair · 03/06/2019 16:58

Well quite Hotchox
Those short people, just not making an effort.

Tentomidnight · 03/06/2019 17:05

Surprised at what?
That a short man is successful? ODFOD

Teddybear45 · 03/06/2019 17:06

Sadiq is about average for a South Asian origin bloke. I don’t think he’s short at all.

Debenhamshandtowel · 03/06/2019 17:06

I have seen him in real life. I agree with the 5’ 5”.

Jamai · 03/06/2019 17:07

5'5 is short for a man.

Debenhamshandtowel · 03/06/2019 17:08

As in I agree with the internet that he’s that height. Not that I agree he should have tried harder at tall school!

Bluerussian · 03/06/2019 17:09

Aw bless, yes, he is a small man.

Frith2013 · 03/06/2019 17:16

He describes himself as a “short, brown man”

Jamai · 03/06/2019 17:45

Ireland's president is a tiny man.

MrsTerryPratchett · 03/06/2019 17:58

5'5 is short for a man.

Not globally.

EdWinchester · 03/06/2019 18:01

I read he’s only 5’6.

Lockheart · 03/06/2019 18:02

Have you ever seen Farage? He's tiny! I was quite surprised.

icanthelpyou · 03/06/2019 18:03

Ooh I've seen him, he is really short

IHaveBrilloHair · 03/06/2019 18:05

Aww bless @Bluerussian
Why that, what do you mean by it?

Yinyen · 03/06/2019 18:05

farage is short and jerky, he is very reptilian on real life. He makes lots of unusual movements.

Bluntness100 · 03/06/2019 18:06

It's the same as Vladimir putin, I always thought he was tall, then I realised as he was pictured next to a famous man I'd met, who I know to be shorter than me, I'm five eight, and he and Putin were the same height in the news clip , that we was not tall at all, and looked it up, he's also five foot six.

Nothing wrong with a man not being tall but simply I thought Vladimir Putin was so was a bit surprised he was smaller than me.

Jamai · 03/06/2019 18:09

Michael D is just under 5'4" Precisely my height - except I usually wear heels. It was funny when he met the Queen. They looked tiny and cute together.

We'd have Sadiq over to visit no bother, though our current Taoiseach is tall.
