Late Thursday evening, the mugshot of former president Donald Trump surfaced on social media and went viral in the blink of an eye. Alongside his mugshot, Donald Trump self-reported his height and weight to the police as 6-foot-3, 215 pounds, which had Twitter going nuts with the athlete comparisons to guys like Justin Fields and Joe Burrow.

This is Bears QB Justin Fields, who is listed at 6'3, 228 lbs.
Donald Trump claims he weighs 13 pounds less than fields and he is the same height.
He also claims that the 2020 election was stolen. pic.twitter.com/MYVaIOZTTP

The comparisons are hysterical, as Donald Trump being listed as the same height and weight as Justin Fields and Joe Burrow, two elite athletes in peak physical shape, is just another comical storyline involving the former president. His height and weight were released with his official booking for being charged with election fraud in the state of Georgia, which is the reason his mugshot surfaced online.
It was a historical day for the office of the president with a mugshot of a former commander in chief arising for the first time. Social media was already ablaze in anticipation for when the mugshot would come out, and it certainly did not disappoint.
One of the funniest aspects of this whole ordeal is that Trump posted the mugshot himself on Truth Social in order to promote his presidential campaign for 2024. Knowing that he self-reported his height and weight as 6-3, 215 lbs., and with the nature of this mugshot, it is clear that Trump simply has no qualms about the listing and believes the mugshot will only help his election chances as he claims that his indictments are mere political attacks.
Stay tuned into any more hilarious athlete comparisons to Donald Trump, as with his strapping size, maybe Trump has a chance to make a run at the NFL after this next presidential campaign.
