... 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...

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 132 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] TomAwsm@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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.

Is this fancy words for 'weird butt'?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Probably to counter weight his full diaper

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Its frontoparietal dementia.

Perhaps it's a weird compensation issue because he never learned to walk right with them. Like I'm 5'5 with a bit of an odd posture at times, his posture really vaguely looks like mine when I get new boots. Mind you after a week I'm moving in work boots like they're leather gymnastics boots but still. Though there's also the difference that I favor my right shoulder with my lean.

I thought he was pretty tall to begin with

[–] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago

Trudeau is 6'2", and the two men appear about the same height in that photo. In images of the 2016 Republican debate, he appears to be only slightly taller than Ted Cruz (5'10"), and not even close to as tall as Jeb Bush (6'3").

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.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 17 points 1 month ago

Isn't it his shoe lifts that do that?

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He has to counter-balance his dumptruck

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

You mean the shit in his diaper?

[–] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That posture makes you look less fat from the front. And like half a centaur from the side.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

On reddit, someone call this posture a frontaur

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We can only hope the front falls off soon.

[–] dave@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, that's not very typical.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

his wierd diaper counterbalances the front.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's the high heels that give him this posture... And the fact that he never exercised in his lifetime.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 8 points 1 month ago

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

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

It’s like those Instagram models who always rotate their hips backwards to push their ass out.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 6 points 1 month ago

I feel bad for Trudeau having to get so close to that disgusting thing.

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Teknevra@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Are we sure that he's not secretly Michael Jackson?

[–] SomeChick@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

That was so awkward
