There’s a high chance that you have Googled to find out how tall Trump and US billionaire presidential hopeful Mike Bloomberg really are, following the “Mini Mike” reference by the former on Twitter.
Trump appears obsessed with the former New York City mayor’s height and seizes every opportunity to demean him.
So how tall is Bloomberg after all? Bloomberg stands at 5’8″ according to Google, not 5’4″ as Trump has seemed to suggest after all.
But then, the billionaire’s height still falls below the US national average for men (5’10″).
Yet discrepancies surrounding Trump’s height are well documented.
For instance, Trump was listed as 6’2″ on his driver’s licence, but a medical report released by White House physician Dr Ronny Jackson in 2018 had him growing an inch higher to 6’3″.
On a fair scale, Trump does stand quite tall on the world stage when compared to other international leaders.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is a reported 5’7″, while Chinese President Xi Jinping is 5’9″.
