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

This isn't the first time the President's height has been brought into question

A conspiracy theory has been sparked after Donald Trump was pictured with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, with the President's height being thrown into question.

Yep, another day, another conspiracy... and it seems the Trumps just can't catch a break at the minute.

The President and the First Lady of the United States are consistently making waves on social media, with the latest obsession being about the so-called 'Melania body double' - a theory that claims a body double or actress stands in Melania's place during public appearances with the President.

Of course, these claims haven't been proven, and Trump himself attempted to debunk them back in 2019, but that hasn't stopped the people of the internet spreading their 'fake news'.

But now, Melania isn't the one in the spotlight, as Trump's height has been brought into question.

After a new conspiracy theory regarding the President's height began circulating following his appearance at the NATO Summit last week, people are now discussing a resurfaced photograph of Trump standing alongside Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Back in May of this year, Trump met with Syria’s new president Ahmed al-Sharaa in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in which he famously described him as a 'young, attractive guy... tough guy, strong past, very strong past... fighter', per the Financial Times.

Also in attendance of the meeting was Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince, 39, who posed for an official photograph alongside the two leaders.

But people have been discussing the photograph on Reddit, pointing out how Trump's 6ft 3 height doesn't quite add up with him stood alongside Prince Salman, who stands at 6ft tall and looks like he's pretty much the same height.

Trump's official medical exam states that the 79-year-old is 6ft 3 and weighs 224 pounds... so if Prince Salman really is 6ft tall, something isn't quite right here.

One Redditor said: "Sounds like BS to me, probably exaggerated his height," as another pointed out: "Bro everyone lies about their height normally boosting themselves an extra 2-3 inches than their actual height."

Someone else then added: "Salman is wearing sandals and Trump is likely wearing elevators lmao."

However, some were a bit more logical and pointed out how Trump's age is likely a factor in his potentially shorter frame.

"With age your spine compresses. You can actually shrink during the day too a couple centimeters," one said, as another penned: "I’m not a Trump supporter, but I’m just commenting on the medical aspect that as we age we get shorter.

"A lot shorter in fact, especially once we start reaching age 80 you can lose up to 6 inches in height."

So, is it true that people shrink as they age?

According to WebMD, as you get older, your body slows down and the chemical composition of your body changes, resulting in you losing a few millimetres in height.

It's normal to shrink by about one inch as you age, but if you shrink more than an inch, a more serious health condition may be to blame.

So this could explain why Trump appeared to be shorter than King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands at last week's NATO Summit, who is reportedly 6ft 2.
