1. Trump

I was reading somewhere else that it’s because he wears elevator shoes so he needs a counterbalance in the front.

[TexasBushwhacker]

4. I think he may lean forward

to minimize the appearance of his big belly.

[Diamond_Dog]

9. That's what I think too.

Same thing he does when he sits in a chair, he sits on the edge and leans forward.

Everything about this jackass is pretend.

[yellowdogintexas]

23. weight of that belly is pulling him forward. A big belly definitely messes with a person's

center of gravity.

[Bayard]

42. This

No abdominal muscles, poor posture. He would benefit from getting his butt underneath him and the curve out of his back. And lose about a hundred pounds.

But....whatever.

[paleotn]

13. He's naturally tall. Why the elevator shoes?

[Ocelot II]

28. Some other men might be taller, and he wouldn't like that.

He says he's 6'3" but he clearly isn't - he's been photographed with 6' tall men and he's no taller (and that's probably with the lifts in his shoes). I suspect one reason he hated Jim Comey so much is that Comey is 6'8" and there's no way TFG could engineer a way to look taller than that.

[paleotn]

39. What a strange man.

I guess he could learn to walk on stilts.

[Shipwack]

30. Probably for the same reason Nixon did Watergate...

These fascists are always afraid, and overcompensate.

Nixon was ahead in the polls at the time, but he wanted to be ahead more.

Trump is used to be fairly wealthy, more than 99% of Americans, but that wasn't big enough so he he lied about how much he had.

Trump is fairly tall, but there are some people who are taller so he feels the need to wear lifts.

[paleotn]

40. A fragile little child.

[japple]

37. I think it's because Barack Obama is 6'2" and tRUMP wants to be taller.

eom

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

43. Because Obama is taller

Don't put it past this worthless cretin to wear lifts for that reason.

[paleotn]

46. True.

Whenever you think that cretin couldn't possibly be any more ridiculous, he surprises you. Guess I shouldn't be surprised. If he was like 5' 4" I could get it, but Jesus.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

44. It's the combination of the lifts + obesity

Obese women who wear high heels tend to do the forward counterbalance as well. Used to see it all the time at the department store where I worked during secondary school.

[Lonestarblue]

2. Perfect description of Trump, but will MAGAs ever see it or acknowledge it?

[BaronChocula]

18. You mean "will the cult stop being a cult"

Effem.
But the "swing voters" may be influenced by facts.

[lame54]

3. He doesn't fit well in his human suit...

The rotting flesh explains the odor

[LetMyPeopleVote]

5. Standing like this is not normal...Consistent with frontal lobe dementia.

6. All true but bottom line is he is an idiot and a prick

[PJMcK]

7. Who cares?

Trump is an asshole.

And an idiot.

[LeftInTX]

8. If he has dementia, he should stay home.

[Iggo]

10. I thought it was so his hilariously long tie wouldn't drape over his massively huge belly.

Learn something new every day.

[AllyCat]

11. Loss of empathy?

He’s always had no empathy so this is not a change.

[surfered]

15. Exactly!

[Bev54]

12. It is to offset the lifts in his heels that make him lean forward.

[Think. Again.]

14. He smells bad too.

[Nasruddin]

16. Fairy tale

People (like TomJ) have been saying this for years. It's comforting. But it's a fairy tale.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

17. He also poses with his chin up....

To minimize his double chin like Mussolini.

[Warpy]

19. He needs to accept that old folks get shorter

and lose the lifts, they're too high and make him look ridiculous, as well as unbalanced.

I suppose he has a crying need to look down on Melania when she's wearing those 4 inch stiletto runway shoes he insists on.

[Monsieur_Grumpe]

20. Trump's balance problem being compensated. I think it's the lifts in his shoes.

24. What are

the front half of his feet standing on? That has to be to compensate for the extreme forward lean. Which may be because of the lifts. So he basically compensates for the lifts by raising the front half as well.

[PJMcK]

27. Look at his suit jacket!

It is so tight across his mid-section. Trump has a lousy tailor. His clothes look like crap.

His physique is nothing unusual in modern America but his attempts to hide it are ridiculous and pathetic.

[flashman13]

21. Remember when he was at a ceremony and an Army officer had to walk him down a ramp.

One more symptom of him losing his shit. And Uncle Joe is the one with aging problems - not!

[dlk]

22. Trump's health, both physical and mental, has been visibly deteriorating for some time

He’s not well and clearly not up to the rigors of the presidency. If elected, others would be doing his job for him.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

25. interesting articles that describes TFG's condition...

https://memory.ucsf.edu/dementia/progressive-supranuclear-palsy

https://memory.ucsf.edu/dementia/ftd

After reading these, makes a lot of sense that the issue here is PSP form of frontotemporal dementia. Actor Bruce Willis suffers from this as well, a more damaging form of this disease that has no known cure.

[bluestarone]

26. Only problem i see is, he's still standing.

Hoping God will fix that problem.

[PJMcK]

29. Horizontal would suit Trump far better, eh? (n/t)

[bluestarone]

31. PERFECT!

[Rebl2]

32. I have trouble

standing very long in one place, along with balance problems because I have old damage from rheumatoid arthritis in my feet. I wouldn’t be able to walk a straight line like police ask you to do if they suspect you have been drinking. Don’t know what tfg issue is. Maybe old bone spurs in his feet?😉

[LetMyPeopleVote]

33. It's part of his worsening dementia- Freestanding is hard. Here's a clip of him trying to stand on a spot.

[Kingofalldems]

35. Trash the thread then.

[AnrothElf]

36. No, I don't think I will. Instead, I'll call out people who continue to drink at the Nazi bar...

Even long after it's obvious that it's now a Nazi bar.

Don't like it? Don't be lazy and copy and paste a link to a tweet and expect DU recs. Instead, you'll get called out for continuing to support a pro-fascist company owned by a white supremacist oligarch.

[Kingofalldems]

38. So your claim is I posted to get recs?

Could not be further from the truth, but you believe whatever you choose.

[Stinky The Clown]

41. I hope he falls on his face, suffers a traumatic brain injury, has a stroke, lives for 5 days of painful agony, and dies

Fuck you, VainBoy

[Buns_of_Fire]

45. So his lifts are pitching him forward,

His gut is pitching him forward,
The pads are pitching him backward,
His mammoth ass is pitching him backward,
And all the bulletproof vests are dragging him downward.

It might be a minor miracle he's standing at all.
