Men rushed to post their heights and weights as proof that Trump lied.</p> <p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m 5-foot-10 and 215 pounds, but it&rsquo;s all muscle,&rdquo; one Facebook user wrote, adding a qualifier lest anyone make assumptions about his body composition.</p> <p>Many posts compared Trump&rsquo;s body to those of athletes that reported the same measurements.</p> <p><a href="https://artistriverirons.medium.com/stop-body-shaming-donald-trump-fb3295383cc4"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
