      … entirely seriously, he does not seem to be able to actually stand up straight.

      There are hundreds or thousands of photos where he is like this, this very strange forward posture.

      He… almost certainly has some kind of diagnosable posture/spine related condition.

        i once read that trump stands like the human part of a centaur without the horse body and I can’t not see it now…

          I’d mostly seen it drawn/shopped memes.

        IIRC, the long-standing rumor is that he’s got heel lifts in his shoes to make himself seem taller.

          While highly probable, that alone doesn’t cause one to stand like this. There must be some insane degree of anterior pelvic tilt going on.

          Look at the left shoe. It’s already got a good size heel, plus the crease where the flex for the toe joints would be is just a couple inches below the laces. Dudes got high heels and lift inserts. Probably a good 3+ inches.

          I think Desantis did the same thing, his boots had the creases way high up plus a way higher bridge in the boot to compensate for the lifts.

          heel lifts in his shoes

          Also, make-up, hair job, false eyebrows, girdle, and wears pampers.

          His VP wears eye-liner.

          They are heroes of our manly right wing.

            It got added to the Olympics in 2016, which if anything confirms my theory that any “sport” added to the Olympics in the last 10 years or so has been added solely so white people can win some medals.

        It’s the downside of being such a massive asshole, if he stood straight he’d fall backwards.

        That and it always looks like he’s about to badly touch others

        IIRC this is when trump tried his yanking handshake but Trudeau was ready for it, and I guess Trump refused to take a step forward

      One could sit straight if they had some morals to prop themselves up, in the event they don’t have a spine.

      Oh, wait…
