well in fairness, trump can't sit up that straight. you need a spine to do that

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 144 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (13 children)

... 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 131 points 1 year 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 year 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 year ago (1 children)

Probably to counter weight his full diaper

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.

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.

Isn't it his shoe lifts that do that?

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

He has to counter-balance his dumptruck

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

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

On reddit, someone call this posture a frontaur

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

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

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 6 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

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

Oh, wait...

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the moral fiber of donald trump's being are much like the fiber he ingests at mealtime: nonexistent.

[–] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

His lack of moral fiber contributes to him being full of shit.

If that's how Zelenskyy has to hold his dick, it's got to be massive.

More seriously, Zelenskyy stands up to Putin.
Why would be be scared of trump, who doesn't?

Trump is such a weak, insecure and petulant man.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Ikr? The other guy will literally torture and kill him given the chance.

Let's be honest... This image analysis makes more sense than the "deal" from the view of Selenski...

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

Leavitt said that was different because the billionaire Tesla CEO is not the leader of a “sovereign nation.”

Are you sure about that?

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why wasn't there an interpreter? I know that Zelensky speaks English, but isn't one kind of mandatory?

[–] DrownedRats@lemmy.world 51 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You'd be hard pressed to find an imterpreter that can translate trumps incomprehensible babble into something most people can understand.

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean they don't need to translate trump. Zelensky can definitely understand well enough. But you can tell he definitely losing some ability to not respond in his native tongue. So I think a one way translator to English would be helpful.

[–] cerement@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

translating what Zelenskyy was muttering would probably cause an even bigger diplomatic incident

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's right though. Vance is a bitch

So are we now calling this the "trump" chair?
