Biden’s done brilliantly for a guy pushing 80. Trump looks like he’s heading toward 6ft

Lol he is held out to be an honest guy when they referenced his feelings about Cuomo’s ordeal yet the man lies about his height?

I’d give Trump 6’0.5 and Biden a solid afternoon height of 5’11.5”. 5’11 5/8” lunchtime for Biden. Biden had 1.5” on Anderson copper tonight. Then again is cooper 5’10 flat or weak 5’10”?

Editor Robyes I believe Trump is still a member of the 6ft club.

This is a guy who I always that was 6'1". Perhaps because he has more of a narrow longer face. Not sure. Nevertheless he's almost 6'

Looks 5'11.75 next to Conan. He doesn't hold up too bad next to Conan, proof that a guy like him can pass as tall.

Tapper is standing closer to camera, he is standing straight while Conan is not, yet 4 inches minimum, so prob 180-181 cm.

On a CNN town hall, Tapper was about one inch shorter than Paul Ryan. I assumed Paul Ryan was 6'1" which would make Tapper 6', but he looks a weak 6' next to O'Brien

Rob, don’t you think 5’11.75 would be a good compromise? No one is arguing over 6 foot for him and a good majority see him at around 5’11.5. Maybe weak 6 foot would be better?

Conan looks to have about 5 inches on him Rob? Tapper standing straight as he can Conan slouching a lot. Think he could be more 5’11 than 6’? Average guess looks about right?

Editor Rob I don't think he's adding 2 inches, but 1.5 inches is possible...I wouldn't have said Conan had as much as 5 inches on him

He'd for sure be taller than Hannity. Tapper usually appears 182-183, Hannity almost never looks over 180

@Rob, put Fredricka Whitfield on here. Google says shes 6'2, but looks like 5'11 in my opinion. She is also CNN and I think was like taller than Jake in heels.

Editor Rob she's not claimed above 5ft 10, and can look 5ft 9-10 range, with heels can seem quite tall of course.

Biden was more 182-183 max during Obama's presidency and he looks 2 cm taller than Tapper, and Tapper looks near 5 inches shorter than Conan. I'm going with 181.

Editor Rob there's got to be 4 inches between them, no less, Tapper I think can look close to 6ft, at worst a bit under.

If he's not 6 foot he's probably very close, can't see him at 178-181 as suggested in other comments. Looks 2inches taller than Anderson Cooper Click Here and also looks to have over an inch on Seth Meyers Click Here

5'11.5 is fair. Biden is 6'0 on the dot and he edges him.

Editor Rob Biden could have been in his youth over six foot, while serving under Obama around 6ft range...probably a more solid six foot than Tapper, who maybe did get measured 6ft 1 in shoes.
