Given the wide reporting of the fact Trump regularly wears lifts gives it credibility that he does. So, that may give him up to maybe 3”. At that extreme, he’d find it difficult to walk normally. Lifts are not like women’s heels. They aren’t made for walking. Which, Trump again, is widely reported as having difficulty walking. Particularly, ramps and stairs.

There’s also the issue of the stupid hat. Which could also add a couple of inches. In that photo it doesn’t look like it is down tight on his scalp. So, there’s an inch to a inch and a half there.

So, doing some math. I would say, based on that photo and a comparison with Gov Newsom at 6’3”, Trump is probably somewhere around 6’ down to 5’10”.
