Donald Trump is free on bail after turning himself in Thursday at the Fulton County jail in Atlanta to be booked on charges against him of his attempts to falsify the 2020 election results in Georgia. He barely spent 20 minutes there, during which his fingerprints were taken and his mug shot was taken, a historic image as he was a former US president. In addition, there is a curiosity that has attracted attention: the prison staff wrote down his weight and height.
In the mugshot, Trump appears dressed in a suit, frowning and challenging. This image will go down in posterity and it is very likely that it will end up immortalized in thousands of T-shirts of his followers.
The magnate's lawyers had previously agreed with the Prosecutor's Office a bail of 200,000 dollars (about 185,210 euros) for his immediate release. So in a few minutes he was already leaving the premises. Inside the jail, prison staff recorded his height and weight: 6.3 feet (1.90 meters) and 215 pounds (97 kilos).
The latest data on his measurements, corresponding to his last official physical examination at the White House, spoke of a height of 1.90 meters and a weight of 110 kilos, some more than those noted in the sheriff's office.
Trump's mugshot does not include the measurements on the wall behind and media such as The Washington Post indicate that it could be wrong data, as has happened with other defendants accompanying Trump in this case.
For example, David Shafer, the former chairman of the state Republican Party, is a 5-foot-1, 150-pound figure with black hair and blue eyes. The reality is that Shafer is taller and heavier, as well as having gray hair and brown eyes, as stated in the aforementioned newspaper.
Another example that they put in the same article is that of the surrogate voter accused in the case, Cathy Latham, who is listed as having blonde hair but actually has it gray. It also doesn't help that Donald Trump's mugshot doesn't include the measurements on the wall behind it.
