My favorite part of the video is that Trump keeps trying to do this stupid fucking power move where he gives a firm handshake and refuses to let go. Newsom was ready for it and Trump had to forcibly pull his hand away.
Edit: Sorry for not being clear. There is a link to a tweet in the article that has the video.
What’s up with the weird lean?
That’s what happens when you wear giant lifts in your shoes because you’re a little bitch obsessed about your height.
Lots of people wear heals all the time and don’t lean forward like this. Something is wrong with Trumps health, and they’re hiding it.

Every time I see him, he looks more and more like a gas station hotdog that’s been on the rollers since 1979. I don’t think they’re hiding shit.
First term, it was speculated it was an early sign of dementia or some shit. This image and this video of him walking down a slope. His handlers making him take a cognitive test that gave us “person, woman, camera, tv”
Yep, claims to be 6’3" and the pic of him next to Biden they looked to be the same height. Biden is listed at 6’0".
Lol, the fact Newsome has no lifts (and no tall hat) and is still taller is actually hilarious. I don’t like Newsome much, but this is a great metaphor for California vs Trump.
lord diaper does that because of the lifts in his shoes and to try to hide his outa shape, berder-filled gut
He does it to try and hide his girthy belly. He thinks it makes him look more powerful. But like everything he does, it just makes him look weak and pathetic.
He does it a lot, actually. I’m fairly convinced it’s a sign that he has a disorder of some sort as discussed in this salon article from 2020.
“While most frequently observed in Parkinson’s Disease, the bent posture so evident in Trump may also be seen in Alzheimer’s Dementia, movement disorders of the basal ganglia, and as the side effect of certain medications,” Cytowic continued. “Also noted are the sudden, jerking movements of Trump’s right arm. Since they occur only on one side, the prefix “hemi” is applied, while “ballistic” means sudden or flinging in the manner of a projectile. Trump’s hemiballistic arm movements are evident in news clips from Memorial Day (also here via C-Span) at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, as are his uncontrolled swaying and forward tilt. He is seen to grab his wayward arm with the left one in an effort to keep it under control.”
Youtube video here. You can see he stands with the same kind of lean (starting about 0:30) and keeps wobbling the whole time. The wobble gets very pronounced after he walks up to the wreath (around the 2:15 mark). As for the arm movements described above, you can see some good examples starting after the 4:15 mark. There’s also an earlier point at the 2:28 mark where you can see him suddenly clench his left hand on his right wrist as if to hold it in place.
I really think the man is not well and he is basically a puppet for the far-right and all those billionaires.
I just don’t see any of this. I think he said and done so many horrible things. I think his only interest is in getting attention, regardless of what for, and regardless if his actions harm others and the US. It wouldn’t surprise me if at age 78 he has some medical problems and dementia, but I don’t see these subtle signs in the video.
Judging by the (presumably) vertical structures in the distance, the photo is tilted 4–5 degrees CCW.
So, I put a piece of paper over their feet and lined it up with the horizon of the pavement so I have a better visual reference. He’s still got the lean.
I rotated the image in GIMP so the USAF guy is standing at a reasonably normal-looking angle. 0.957446809 is still leaning forward.
The “horizon” of the pavement isn’t horizontal—the airstrip is receding into the distance, with the far end behind Newsom. And the actual horizon is hilly, so it can’t be relied on, either—that’s why I think the vertical structures are a better indication of true up and down.
And of course Trump is leaning forward to hide his belly like he always does, but what makes the photo look so weird is that everyone behind him seems to be leaning to a lesser extent. If you turn the photo CW by 4 or 5 degrees, the two men by the stairs are standing straight while Trump and Newsom are both leaning toward each other. (It also becomes clear that Newsom is taller than Trump, even with the latter’s boosted heels—the original tilted photo makes them seem closer in height.)
.
Some of it is certainly the camera angle and perspective. Everyone except Newsom seems to have a lean.
However, you can also see pretty easily that trump’s lean is far more pronounced. It’s also not the first time it’s come up. Trump’s had a noticeable forward lean for years.
Looks like Trump’s wearing those Michael Jackson patented stage shoes that let him lean really far
I don’t see the video about handshake in the article, so here is one I found: https://youtu.be/qn7q0k1yY3s
Sorry, yeah, they link to a tweet which had the video. My bad not being clear.
You mentioned the link twice now.
Would have been awfully nice if you provided the link too, cause there are dozens of links in the article.
Please add “cancel” after “x” like this: https://xcancel.com/madrid_mike/status/1882942199840862313
‘You were there for us for covid’, haha Newsome really knows how to get under his skin.
Don’t visit x, here’s the video:
