It's 3 AM and your children are asleep. Who do you want running the nuclear football down the forty-yard line: A sanctimonious fraud on his tippy toes? Or a thick-blooded American who aced all his standing lessons? trump-dapper

American presidential benchmark: Can they stand up?

[-] ProfessorAdonisCnut@hexbear.net 35 points 10 months ago

He stands fine, it's hard to see it when the photoshop out the back half of the centaur

Is that photo genuine? Incredible.

Edit: Here's what it looks like leveled.

Does that make a difference? fry

He's wearing lifts, rat boy pete did the same

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

every presidential candidate. Appearing taller on stage makes you appear more authoritative in American politics apparently. There's that famous picture of Trump having the worst posture possible to compensate for the lifts in his shoes.

[-] the_kid@hexbear.net 24 points 10 months ago

hasn't there basically never been a president shorter than 6' outside of Madison or something? kinda makes sense why every political figure feels like they have to do this.

[-] GriffithDidNothingWrong@hexbear.net 22 points 10 months ago

Martin Van Buren was 5' 6". I don't think it mattered much until debates started being televised, they just picked whichever slave owner was loudest

I blame toxic masculinity

[-] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago

The photo on the right looks like he's wearing fucking clown shoes. Anyone have it without the drawing?

All the presidential candidates have lifts in their shoes. It's just part of the game. Americans have somehow got it in their minds that taller = better

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago

Pic 2 is OOP not understanding what being shiny is

[-] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 24 points 10 months ago

I thought it was less about the shine and that there was a weird crease high up in that area but it’s hard to know with the quality of the photo lol

With a slightly different set of historical contingencies, we could have ended up living in a world where formal attire demanded really ridiculously large heels on all people's shoes, and been able to watch high-powered businessmen prance around on Formal Stilts.
