Donald Trump is a very self-conscious man when it comes to his height, and it looks like he will go to extremes in order to make people believe he is actually 6’3″.

While at his rally in Minneapolis, a Twitter user posted a photo of Trump from behind while he was speaking at the podium.

Looking at Trump’s feet, you can see his shoes have considerable heels.

Take a look:

Open this pic. It almost looks fake. What do you notice?

Those are some pretty tall heels!!

And it’s not the first time Trump has been spotted wearing these shoes.

He was pictured wearing them in France during the G-7 while getting out of a car. Take a look:

Notice pants, shoes and stance!

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.

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.

Seeing Trump wearing high heels really made Twitter laugh:

Lifts on the inside, heels on the outside, and he’s still shorter than President Obama. Sad!

— Kenny Vedegas (@KVedegas) October 11, 2019

He’s been lifting for years. That’s why he’s always wearing his MC Hammer pants.

— Dan Pavlik (@Nominated) October 11, 2019

Platform shoes! Someone a bit insecure?

— Helena Handbasket (@MyraMaynes) October 11, 2019

Man, those are some huge lifts.

— AddieBee (@Makemyday59) October 11, 2019

No wonder he can't stand up straight. His belly is pitching him forward and he's wearing Malaria's heels.

— Pubcav (@pubcav) October 11, 2019

LOL!!#FatNixon is wearing high healed shoes!!!

— Justin Thyme✊ (@JustinThyme_HP) October 11, 2019

No wonder he leans forward so much, there's an ottoman under each heel.

— Devils(Foodcake)Advocate (@feralhogbacon) October 11, 2019

Lifts (heels) on his shoes. Wow, I don’t think there has ever been such a vain, but self-hating person ever as president.
