What gives you the impression Trump cares about how the US looks to the international community?

I'm more surprised that the survey even had that as an option. I think the survey options were just:

  • the rich have too much
  • the poor have too much
  • they have about the same

Kind of a braindead survey tbh and probably doesn't justify an article.

I mean the literal definition of poor is that they don't have enough.

I'm more floored that a grown man plays Roblox. Minecraft, I would get. Roblox? No.

Bruh even before Chromebooks it was only a select few geeks that pursued anything more than word processing.

I edited my post to include metric units for those numbers.

And sure, it's fine to say that is short from your own personal perspective but yes statistically the average height was less back then. Even so the average height today is only about 10 cm more.

You may just be taller than average if you are that incredulous about his height. I don't consider 5'5" (1.68 m) to be that far off from the average height of men in most countries today. If he were under say 5' (1.52 m) I would say that is significantly shorter.

Every situation is different but our HOA prevents people from AirBnBing their houses. For existing houses I don't know.

1.68m is 5'5" which is yeah short but not too far from the (self-reported) average male height in France today which is 5'9" (1.75m) (Bayesian estimates actually say 5'7" (1.70m)). During Bonaparte's time average male height in France was 5'4" (1.62m) so he was actually taller than average by a tiny bit.

Average height has increased over time.

i think hating all other people is one of the things we can all agree on and empathize with.
