Donald Trump sparks conspiracy theory after people spot detail in photo with Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia

A new conspiracy theory has emerged online after former President Donald Trump was seen standing next to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, raising questions about Trump’s true height.

Social media is no stranger to conspiracy theories involving the Trumps, with the recent “Melania body double” claim gaining traction. Although Trump dismissed that rumor in 2019, it hasn’t stopped new theories from surfacing.

This time, attention is focused on Trump’s height after a photo from May showed him standing next to Prince Salman, who is officially 6 feet tall. Trump, whose medical exam states he’s 6’3″, appears to be the same height in the image, sparking suspicion.

Reddit users quickly weighed in, with many speculating Trump may have exaggerated his height. One commenter pointed out people often add two to three inches to their real height, while another joked that Trump might be wearing height-boosting shoes.

Others took a more scientific approach, noting that aging often causes height loss. At 79, Trump may have lost height due to spinal compression or natural aging.

Experts agree that it’s common for older adults to shrink, losing about an inch over time. According to WebMD, any loss beyond that could signal a health issue, but some shrinkage is natural.

This could explain why Trump also appeared shorter than King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands at the NATO Summit, despite claims of being taller. As with many internet theories, this one continues to fuel debate about image, perception, and the aging process.
