Others flocked to list all those who boast the same supposed height and weight—including Muhammad Ali in his prime, Chris Hemsworth at his Thor bulkiest, and a veritable laundry list (no, really; DraftKings put one together) of pro basketball, baseball, and football players. Cable news stars also got in on the fun, with MSNBC host Joy Reid joking, “He’s downing Ozempic.” A senior Trump adviser told ABC News that the former president’s height and weight had been pre-reported to speed up the process.
