CNN Panel, Social Media Users in Disbelief Over One Part of Trump's Booking Info

Former President Donald Trump was booked at the Fulton County jail Thursday evening on charges that he conspired to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.

While there, he was fingerprinted and had a mugshot taken, which was released to the public and used as Trump's first post back on X, formerly known as Twitter, in two years. 

"They purposely show the absolutely worst pictures of me, especially the big 'orange' one with my chin pulled way back," he wrote on his Truth Social platform.

Still, the photo has quickly become a campaign symbol, paired with the words "NEVER SURRENDER."

In addressing the media afterwards, Trump called it a “very sad day for America” and said it “should never happen.”

“What has taken place here is a travesty of justice. We did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong,” Trump said.

In discussing the historical moment, however, that wasn't all a CNN panel focused on. 

Pre-recorded information lists Trump’s height as 6’3” and his weight at 215 pounds—figures the panel just couldn’t get past. 

“Jake, as we were discussing earlier, they did provide, in the record, his height and weight, 6’3″, 215 pounds. It’s out there,” said CNN’s Abby Phillip.

“But did they say they took it, because we were told that he filled out some papers ahead of time,” said Jamie Gangel.

"It doesn't look like they put him on a scale," the network’s Dana Bash said. 

“My understanding is, he was given the ability to fill out some paperwork ahead of time, including his weight,” Gangel explained. 

“And he put down, Donald Trump put down, that he weighs 215?” asked Jake Tapper. “It’s self-reporting?”

After the panelists agreed, Tapper added: “So, he’s lost 25 pounds since he was president is what we are understanding, because he was, I believe, Dr. Ronny Jackson said he weighed something like 242 for his official physical, which people at the time were skeptical of that number.”

“We are looking at the document," Bash said. "White male; 6’3″, 215 pounds; hair: blond or strawberry; eyes: blue.”

“Did he fill that out, too, ‘blonde or strawberry’?” Tapper wondered. “How does ‘strawberry’ end up on a questionnaire?”

“Strawberry blond,” Bash responded. 

“Ok, I’ve never seen strawberry as an option before on any form,” Tapper concluded.

The panel wasn't alone in questioning the figures.
