Donald Trump is claiming he doesn't want lifts or boxes during the debate so he looks taller. Yet he's the one

I wonder if trump is talking about lifts--as in a stool that we stand on--or is he referring to his shoe lifts??



Donald Trump is claiming he doesn’t want lifts or boxes during the debate so he looks taller. Yet he’s the one who wears lifts in his shoe to make his shrinking old body look taller. Here’s his lift flying out when he got shot at. And images of his foot lifted.

how his shoes don’t come off just by him walking in them. His heel looks as if it’s just barely even in there.

Also, how is that every time Trump is shown sitting down he looks as if he’s sitiing on the toilet? Super weird.

Hmmm, don't know if men typically wear clogs/mules, but they are shoes that have nothing cupping the person's heel. Easy to walk in, no tendency to come off (and so easy to put on).

I noticed this toilet-sitting thing way back in 2016. He's always done it, it's SO weird. On the other hand, if you think about it, he basically is always sitting on a toilet. When the diaper stuff came out, I wondered if this odd leaning forward is to accommodate his pooping in mid-interview/meeting. If you sit back in a chair like a normal person, maybe cross a leg over your knee, you would be effectively blocking the exit of poop.

My arches fell in basic training and I was given these thick arch supports to wear. My heels barely stayed in my shoes (we didn't get boots back then, only the guys did), and they ended up rubbed raw. I couldn't march properly, and certainly couldn't run. I ended up taking them out so I wouldn't be held back and have to start training all over again. I was already being threatened with that due to my lack of gaining to my "proper" weight. Wish I had that problem now!

I think this may explain why Trump walks as little as possible, and how he leans on the podium at events. He can barely stand up straight with lifts, and walking is certainly nearly impossible without compensating.

No pity from me for him, he deserves to suffer.
