In 1993 I met Donald Trump at an ABC Affiliates dinner in New York. I know Donald is a big self-promoter, but he is no taller than me. I'm 6-0.

Haven't you ever noticed that whoever is closest to the camera (in a photo) appears bigger they are in relation to others in the photo even slightly behind them.

Claims 6'3"
Lenad said on 18/Apr/11
Looks fairly tall on tv. 6'3 looks too much though. I wouldnt argue over 6'2 now
Ace said on 17/Apr/11
Steve Nash does look marginally taller in this shot:

Granted he is closer to the camera, but regardless, Trump has obviously lost a bit of height.

6-2 measured Shawne Merriman and 6-1 measured Steve Nash have looked taller.

Never was6'3. 6'1 nowadays. his son Eric has almost 4 inches on him.
m said on 9/Apr/11
I think trump is in the 6'2 range at his peak. Jr looks roughly the same. His other son Eric is huge though. Look at some picturess of the trump family together. Eric looks at least four inches taller than his dad, maybe even more than that.
Viper said on 9/Apr/11
6-1 Steve Nash looked taller than him recently.
Viper said on 8/Apr/11
LOL, Trump is 6-1 now

his is 6'3 no lie I saw him at he Today show and he was with Vince Mcmahon they both are about 6'2-6'3 I was shocked because they look so short on TV

Rob do you think Ivanka Trump is a flat 5'10" or could she be a bit more like 5'10.5" or 5'11"
Editor Rob
I think 5ft 10 is fair
MsKitty said on 16/Mar/11
Does anyone have any idea how tall his kids are? They are obviously all very tall. Don Jr. looks about his dad's height, Ivanka is close when wearing heels but his son Eric completely towers his dad! I'm really curious as to how tall they all are...any good guesses are welcome. :). Also, as to Mr. Trumps' claim of 6'3, I guess when you're rich and powerful you can say what you want and no one is going to argue!
Spence said on 4/Mar/11
He claimed 6'3. While his claim is inflated I think at his peak it is not an outlandish claim. I think he is about 187 today or 6'1.5 and was about 189 at peak.
Viper said on 3/Mar/11
LOL at claiming 6-3. Hes 6-1 today
anony said on 3/Mar/11
He was just on David Letterman and claimed 6'3.

Trump with 6'5" Howard Stern in 1993. Howard's the tallest 6'5" ever. Most can't believe he's not 6'6". Shaq estimated him at 6'7". But he says he's 6'5".

Definate 6'2", probably is around 6'3" in shoes not barefoot though.
bob129 said on 10/Apr/09
He actually did look taller than Vince back in Wrestlemania 23 but not by much (less than an inch). Considering that Vince is 6' 1", then Donald must be close to 6' 2". It's actually a pretty good chance that it's his hair makes him look taller than vince. I'd say he could be as short as 6' 1.5".
theman said on 29/Jan/09
He is 6'1.5" 6'2.5" counting the hair piece.

6-3??? He also claimed he's worth 5 billion while forbes sais 2.7 billion. He has also claimed he's worth 'many billions' which 2.7, or even 5 for that matter, doesn't quite match. He's also claimed that he's never been bankrupt.
Leung said on 9/Sep/08
I reckon he is including his infamous hair when he says 6
mclover said on 8/Sep/08
I thought it would be interesting to note that during the 2008 U.S. Open, Donald trump said he was 6'3'' to the commentator. This was after the commentator referred to him as 6'2'' and Trump QUICKLY corrected him lol.
bob129 said on 7/Sep/08
6'2" it is. BTW, I had made an error with my previous judgment on his height, not considering the camera angle. Just thought I'd make it clear.
Leung said on 27/Aug/08

Just saw the trumpster in person, he isnt any taller than 6ft and thats pushing it with the hairdo.

I know that glenn is about a little more than 5'8", and guess what, I have the exact same effect with guys standing at 5'10", and I'm a 6'1" for the most of the time.

Donald and 6'9.5" Alonzo Mourning
Click HereMourning is leaning and if he stands up straight and you don't count Trump's hair then Mourning has atleast 7 inches on Donald.
GSP said on 17/Mar/08
im sure he is around 6'2 but you would never guess based on this pic. He only looks like 5'11 max there as Glenns head reaches above trumps eyebrows. Obviously because Glenn is closer ect I guess..he must also be slouching.
Vegas said on 30/Dec/07
shaq has basically a full head on 6'4ish dwayne wade every time i see the two on the court standing side by side, if you are correct and shaq's head is minimum 10.5" that certainly rules out anything under 7 foot for shaq and more than likely puts shaq at a legit 7'1 barefoot and well over 7 foot in shoes, shaq is wearing ordinary shoes to wades basketball boots in that second photo i posted and he still has 10" on wade (if shaq's head is minimum 10.5" like you said)
as for trump he is an extremely vain individual but i don't think he is under 6'1, i have him between 6'1-6'1.5", he was on TRL with 6'2ish damien fahey and they looked the same height but i think trump had the footwear advantage
Jason said on 30/Dec/07
Is it? I'd be pretty certain there's no way Shaq's head is under 10.5''. We're looking up at him with Trump.

He looks about 6-2 in this photo with Shaquille O'neal, who is about 7-0, or maybe 6-11 3/4 barefoot.

he was slightly shorter then Mcmahon so i think 6'2 at max
lillo thomas said on 13/Jun/07
josh in the pic above donal trump dont look nothing near 6'2 but you have to realize that glenn is way closer to the camera.
MD said on 31/May/07
This is yet another photo where you have to take into account the closeness to the camera. Glenn is significantly closer to the camera seemingly 'reducing' the height of Trump. If Glenn were to step back to where Trump is, the real height different would be much more apparent.
Unknown said on 31/May/07
6-2 would be a little too much compared to Glenn, but 6 ft maybe.
Her daugther looks gorgeous.Very, very, and again very hot.
Arjun said on 11/May/07
Vegas, Trump does look mighty short in one photo where he is flanked by Andre and Hogan - I think you know which photo I'm referring to. Hogan looks 6'6"+ there and Andre dangerously close to 7 foot if Trump is 6'2".
Vegas said on 23/Apr/07
Trump was max 1" taller than Vince mcMahon and most of the time on tv it only looked 0.5" and sometimes they looked the exact same height
Click Here
Vince is no taller than 6'1 so that means Trump is 6'2 max but 6'1.5" seems more correct for his barefoot height
Jen said on 23/Apr/07
I have heard 6 foot 3 for him as well. His ex-wife Ivana claims to be 5 foot 8. Their daughter Ivanka is 5 foot 10 and a half (from what she says). They're a tall family. But yes, I believe he's 6 foot 3, he always looks pretty tall.
Steve said on 17/Mar/07
No doubt Hogan was 6'6 when he was 20, and no doubt Trump was 6'3 when he was 20. But fatness and age makes you shorter, plus after 30 you naturally 'shrink' so to speak. Because I remember my dad was 6'3 or 4 and now he's 6'2.
Spence said on 12/Mar/07
The more I see of Trump I really do think he is a solid 6'2 1/2 possibly 6'3. He is taller than Vince and on the Apprentice he always looks pretty tall.
Danimal said on 17/Feb/07
Halb, Glenn is standing a few feet in front of Donald. Giving the illusion that Glenn is taller, but in reality, Trump could tower over him if he bridged that gap.
Mike said on 17/Feb/07
is trump really taller than Vince? they looked so close that each time the camera angle changed the other looked taller.
Anonymous said on 16/Feb/07
he said he was taller than vince mcmahon on raw the other day and he is about 6"2, so yeah he is about 6"3

Trump wears oversized suits and long neckties to hide his paunch. I think the big clothing and the bizarro combover make him appear taller.

The Donald was in a threesome at a Celebrity Golf Tournament with Paul O'Neil and Ben Rothlisberger. Both are 6'4" - 6'5" range, and Trump looked a good 3 -4 inches shorter than both. I'd say about 6'1.5"
Anthony said on 27/Dec/06
Always seemed at least to 6'2 to me, I buy 6'3.

is that to believe a person could shunk 3,4cm in height from morning to night? i think is crack to me.. i personally don't agree.. unless is 1.5cm could make sense.. i remember when im age 16 ever get mearsure as 185 in morning and shrunk just a cm in night as 184..3-4cm shrinkage was totally weired at all..

Goes to show that Hogan really was a 6'6" guy back in the 80's, seeing he had 4-5" on Trump. Heels or no heels.

I know somebody who asked him how much money he & his father paid the mob for getting the cement/labor/carting/no show jobs etc. ironed out for decades. He blew his stack. A certain ex N.Y. mayor named R.G. asked the same thing when he took down the mobbed up construction industry. I think he had to answer.

Crazy photo, what with Glenn way up front and Trump like 30 feet in the background. Donald (I refuse to call him THE Donald) looks massive, though. I'd say 6'3" no probs.

hey rob, just asking your expert opinion on heights - i am btwn 182.5-183.5 cm barefoot at night round 11pm or 12 am u can say & in morning and thorughout day a sure fire 184.5-186 barefoot so can i safely say dat i am a 6ft 1 inch guy or not? n btw most celebs do giv an inch more 2 their height then normal but a gr8 job by the site as i am a height maniac or sceptc watever u say!
Editor Rob
I would say the height after 12pm and most day 184-5ish, but that's a big difference you've got there in morning and late night...3-4cm shrinkage?
Anshelm said on 21/Mar/06
Well, on MTV's "The Fabulous Life of..." (or something) he did look taller than his chief bodyguard who's reportedly 6'2"/188 cm and 245 lbs/111 kg. Albeit they could be seen together only briefly.
Frank2 said on 2/Mar/06
With or without his rug? Actually it's a very expensive hair weave job where they take what little hair he does have that's grown long and sweep it around his head several times adding other hairs in the process. I know it looks absolutely ridiculous and believe me so does the Donald. He even jokes about his hair. Donald's at least six foot three. (With his silly hairdo)

No, Pataki actually is 6'5" and has a very broad frame which makes him seem even larger.

Xhavier. Have you heard of shoe lifts? Mr. Trump had his shoe lifts on standing next to Randall. I was watching espn classic on Mike Tyson. Trump stood side to side with Mike and was maybe a inch taller. People say that Mike Tyson is nowhere near 5'11" his listed height.
Xhavier said on 16/Dec/05
Trump is 6'2". On the Apprentice finale while he is walking beside Randal (who is between 6'4" and 6'5" (so assume 6'4 1/2")) he looks two inches shorter than him. This is the first time I ever would have thought that Trump was 6'0", and now I'd believe 6'2".

Trump is 6'0" tall. His top bodyguard is 6'2" Trump said himself, and Trump is 2 inches shorter. (See it yourself on it's good to be Trump)

No way is Donald Trump 6-2, that means he's only 1 inch shorter than Hulk Hogan, a pro wrestler who's 6-3.5. Take a look at this photo. The Hulkster TOWERS over Donald Trump and they are standing right next to each other.

Mr. R I completely agree with you on Regis and Trump, I think if he was only 6'1" he really wouldn't be the tallest guy in the room too often though. I think he's dead on 6'2", but again, it doesn't shock me that Trump, with his large ego would lie and say he's actually 6'3". He does tower over Regis, but let's not forget that Regis is nowadays 165-166 cm.
hani said on 14/Apr/05

dmeyer said on 10/Apr/05
i saw him and he does look very tall
Mr. R said on 8/Apr/05
The Donald has been saying this same height for years, so he is at least consistent. In most cases, he is usually the tallest person around, so I had no cause to doubt. But the Conan show and other tall guys like Letterman would be the best way to gauge. Also, a haircut might tell us his TRUE height!
Mr. R said on 8/Apr/05
Smoke, when the original Regis and Kathy Lee show started, Reg was listed at 5-9. Throughout the years, that number has been lowered. I remember seeing an actor from the old Chicago Hope series on the show and he made Regis look really short. I thought this guy was very tall, but when I met him, he was only about 5-9. Based upon my personal comparison, I would say that Reg is only 5-6 on a VERY GOOD DAY!
hani said on 8/Apr/05
he is at least three inches shorter than conan obrien who is 6'4 and 2_3 inches taller than jay leno who is about 5'10 ,5'11
i think that 6'1 is more than enough.
Smoke said on 7/Apr/05
Definately crosses me as the type of personality who would lie about his height. Now 6'2" or 6'3", "Trumpster" is still a fairly tall man, I'd love to get a listing for his good buddy Regis, as well as Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos. I frequently compare heights on that show (even though it's quite difficult with camera angles), and I really can't pinpoint the height of any of those personalities. I do have a very interesting pic of Consuelos with Ripa though.
