Former President Donald Trump made headlines on Thursday night as he was booked into the Fulton County Jail in Georgia.
The details of his booking information quickly spread across social media, sparking a flurry of reactions from users.
According to reports, Trump was booked shortly before 8 p.m. ET in Atlanta, Georgia, in connection with the indictment related to his alleged efforts to challenge the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. The booking information listed his height as 6'3'' and his weight as 215 pounds, with "blonde or strawberry" hair and blue eyes.
Interestingly, Trump's height and weight had already been pre-reported before his arrival at the jail. This information prompted a range of responses on social media. Trump operative Alex Bruesewitz tweeted, "6'3 215. Absolute elite athlete. Trump 2024." Meanwhile, CNN host Jake Tapper expressed surprise, saying, "Wait, what?" when the details were released.
It is worth noting that Trump's weight was previously recorded as 239 pounds during his 2018 physical examination by then-White House Physician Ronnie Jackson, who currently serves in the U.S. House of Representatives. ABC News reported that the pre-reporting of Trump's height and weight was done to expedite the booking process.
