Trump Appears to be Wearing High Heeled Shoes and Twitter is Going Crazy
Donald Trump is currently in France attending the G7 with the other leaders of the top world democracies.
Friday night he attended a dinner, and the camera watched him arrive and jump out out his presidential limo.
Of course, he left Melania to fend for herself.
Some eagle eyed people on Twitter noticed that Trump appeared to be wearing high heeled shoes, or lifts.
Take a look:
Notice pants, shoes and stance!

Is he wearing heels??

Trump wearing high heels and lifts and still not the 6'3" he claims. Lol.

Why is he wearing #Melanias boots?
— Chief's Wife (@sharondigi) August 24, 2019
Are those Melania's Louis Vitton shoes Trump is wearing? Or a pair of Ivanka's chinese knock-offs?

Are those lift shoes? Trying to make people think he's actually 6'3"? What a joke!

The idea of Trump wearing heels or lifts isn’t new.
Take look at how he stands:
Weird! It looks like Trump is leaning forward and about to tip over. Like the Leaning Tower of Trump.
Dr. Jack Brown, a physician and expert in body language, wrote a detailed post about the way Trump stands. Brown wrote that “Trump is standing with this posture — primarily because he has specially crafted, ‘lift shoes’. His added 2.5–3.5 inch heel-height causes him to lean forward. This configuration is accentuated by his obesity.”
This Twitter thread from Dr. Brown further details why Trump stands like he does:

1/ In the past several days, it's been reported that Donald Trump has been "standing weird". Although the President's leaning-forward posture has been displayed in the past, recently this stance has been used more consistently. Why? What are the body language ramifications?

2/ Donald Trump is standing with this posture – primarily because he has specially crafted, 'lift shoes'. His added 2.0 – 3.0 inch heel-height causes him to lean forward. This configuration is accentuated by his obesity.

3/ Trump is quite self-conscious about his height. President Trump's claimed height is 6'3" – yet, this is demonstrably false.

4/ In the above photo, taken on the morning of his inauguration, Trump is clearly approximately 0.5 inch shorter than President Obama (Obama's feet are further apart, which effectively lowers his height a bit, relative to Trump). pic.twitter.com/694N8jT1CN

5/ It's notable that Ronny Jackson, M.D. – Trump's White House physician for the first 15 months of his administration – also served the same role for Barack Obama. President Obama's height, per Jackson's medical reports, was listed at 6'1".

6/ Both Trump and Obama have been routinely photographed standing next to many athletes – thus, we can use these others' registered height's as cross-checks.
— Dr. Jack Brown (@DrGJackBrown) April 29, 2019
7/ Here's an image of Trump standing next to Tiger Woods (presumably, both men are wearing golf shoes). Woods' reported height is 6'1". pic.twitter.com/p57tWu5sPe

8/ Here's another photo Donald Trump leaning forward during a political rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin on 27 April 2019. pic.twitter.com/SwsMsdXbZE

9/ Trump was leaning forward in this same style while greeting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during his visit to the White House on 11 October 2017. pic.twitter.com/aqKCOzUZg6

10/ SUMMARY: Donald Trump's forward-leaning posture is caused by his use of lift-shoes. This odd stature is further exacerbated by his obesity.
