Food for thought on why trump* leans forward when he stands.

[Siwsan]

Sent to me by a friend on FB.

In 1888, a lecture was given by Jean-Martin Charcot, a renowned French neurologist and professor of anatomical pathology, in which he noted precise differences and characteristics of the PSP form of Frontotemporal Dementia, even before it had its own name. The sketched picture of the leaning man was a part of this lecture.

Now, compare to how trump* stands and acts. Admittedly, he has displayed some of those 'characteristics', pretty much his entire life, but who knows when the signs and symptoms of neurological problems actually start to show.

Anyway, food for thought.

Occam’s razor says that is the most likely answer.

2. He has been surrounded by docs for months. Why have they never said

anything about how ill and dangerous he is?

[Totally Tunsie]

8. Why haven't they admitted he's not the "healthiest person to ever run for the presidency";

he's not 6'3", 239 lbs.; he doesn't have the "greatest genes"?

Petrified lap dogs...all of them.

[videohead5]

14. He's not 6'3"

I don't know if he has shrunk or he has been lying about his height? When he stood next to Obama at the inauguration he looked shorter.

[Totally Tunsie]

17. He's also not any of the other things mentioned!

That was the point.

[CaptYossarian]

32. When I was 6'3" and 240, I didn't take up that much acreage.

That was during my white collar period when I also wore suits everyday.

He's a "biscuit under 350#", for sure (unless he's 5'6" tall).

Another form of tall tales from an incessant liar?

5. Can't his infirmities hurry up and end him already?

I mean FUCK....what are they waiting for??? Another 100,000+ dead Americans?

PLEASE karma...explode his fucking heart today...the universe needs to be returned to balance and the black hole that is Trump is sucking everything into its doom. Save us all from his insipid decline.

34. His deformed heart needs to be recalled by the

mad scientist who built him.

[LizBeth]

46. I was listening to Casler who worked with Trump saying coke then Adderall. A lifetime

of use. I think why hasn't he died. We hear how this shit kills you. Fast food only.

[Arkansas Granny]

6. I just saw video of Trump golfing on another post.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100213475066

If that video is from today, there is no unusual posture like we've seen in photos. This makes me think it's lifts in his shoes andor some kind of girdle to make him look slimmer as some have speculated.

[RockRaven]

10. That posture in Trump always seems accompanied by a large unbuttoned suit jacket

I think it is something akin to your explanation, something purposeful related to hiding his big gut.

[Scarsdale]

37. Maybe his

diaper is full??

[TexasBushwhacker]

[SunSeeker]

56. OMG. The centaur from hell. nt

[harumph]

11. Uh, he wears a girdle and elevator shoes.

[Siwsan]

12. The stance is only one element

Combine it with the rest on the list.

As someone who has dealt, up close and personal, with family members who had dementia, a lot of what I see and hear from him rings big time alarm bells.

[SharonAnn]

52. Yes, me too. Big time alarm bells!

[Wellstone ruled]

16. He learned well from his

fake Reality Show how to pose for a "one shot" making him look thinner than he is. And with his inch and half heel lifts,that causes a natural forward lean.

[SharonAnn]

54. Women wear taller heels without leaning like that.

[Wellstone ruled]

55. True.

The Pose that the Orange Anus uses is a learned Pose. Never forget,this sucker is a Fake and this is just part of the Act.

Check out Noel Caster who was the Talent Wrangler for NBC.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. There have been many reports that he wears 2" heel lifts in his shoes.

He'd fall over forward if it weren't for the counterbalance provided by his immense orange ass.

[sop]

13. He reminds me of Lon Chaney as Frankenstein's Monster, lumbering about, swinging his arms,

grunting and breaking things.

[Totally Tunsie]

21. I like to think of him as "Lurch".

[sop]

27. Or Herman Munster, minus the sweet personality.

31. Herman Munster always leaned forward, too, but we know he wore lifts.

[Lucinda]

18. looks like lumbar lordosis

[Totally Tunsie]

24. Lumbar Stupidosis.

[DFW]

22. His jowls are too heavy for his neck muscles to support?

Just speculating, you understand.........

[lame54]

25. It looks like the mic is the only thing holding him up

[Traildogbob]

26. Accommodation.

He has to push his ass backwards and ass hole upwards to accommodate all the heads dwelling up there. Easier access for Pence, CONway, Barbie spokeswoman, Hannity and Ingraham. FFS, I can’t list them all. Pompeo has a huge head, as does Hannity. All that HAS to create a forward lean. He stand like Carl from Sling Blade. Ummmm!

[superpatriotman]

28. Bone spurs

nt

[SCantiGOP]

61. And here we are making fun of him

While he is in pain from those horrible bone spurs that kept him from going and winning the war in Vietnam.

[paleotn]

30. My better half has been saying that for months now.

He's heavily drugged to give some semblance of lucidity. But he's going to quickly reach a point where even that won't make a difference and he'll melt into a whimpering, incoherent puddle. It's only a matter of time. I wonder what his minions have cooked up as an exit strategy? Or are they even thinking that far ahead? Or are they even thinking at all?

[ET Awful]

35. He needs breast reduction surgery?

Only halfway kidding.

[CaptYossarian]

40. What if the fake billionaire can only afford one at a time?

He'd look like Dolly Parton's half-brother.

[fleur-de-lisa]

38. Perhaps.

I think it’s also due to the lifts he wears and all the extra weight in his gut.

[LymphocyteLover]

39. or is related to his excessive drug use?

Noel Casler says he it's not dementia as much as addiction to stimulants

[MontanaMama]

41. I can't get behind the dementia thing...

He will use it as an excuse to get out of all the crime he has committed.

[Siwsan]

45. You can be a vile and nasty piece of work, AND have dementia.

Have you ever had a close friend or family member with Alzheimer's or other type of dementia? I have, and more than one. I see many behavior similarities that set off alarm bells.

[MontanaMama]

66. Yes. I have too.

My dad and my grandad. I get what you mean...and I don’t think he’s all there by any means...I guess I just don’t want to open any doors to letting him and his enablers use it as an excuse. They probably will, however.

On another note, I’m sorry you’ve had Alzheimer’s hit close to you. It’s horrific. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

[Siwsan]

67. Thank you. It runs strong on the maternal side of my family

My mom had 7 siblings and 3 of them, in addition to her, died of Alzheimer’s. I take heart in that I tend to lean more towards Dad's side of the family but who knows.... I just know if it is in my future, I hope to be dead before it comes to fruition. I would never want to put anyone through what my brother and I endured, taking care of Mom.

[keithbvadu2]

42. Leaning?

[Blaukraut]

47. Trump's heel is outside of his shoe!

That definitely looks like he has lifts in his shoes. At least in the heel part.

[Sloumeau]

44. Who knew? I just thought he always had a giant stick up his ass. :) nt

[Nevilledog]

48. He has a Barr up his ass.

Easiest explanation.

[Mercurian]

50. I have a simpler explanation

He's trying to disguise the size of his gut. As an overweight man myself I know from personal experience just how prominent the belly can be in a normal posture. It also explains why he habitually sits slumped forward,cand why he prefers to be photographed with his head tilted back..to hide his neck wattles. He may well have a medical condition that explains his bizarre posture. But overweening vanity in an otherwise short, dumpy fat man works very well as a reason.

[Siwsan]

51. His stance is only one item on a long list

I always attributed it to the lifts he wears in his shoes. But when combined with the other items, it leads me to strongly consider dementia.

Admittedly, I've dealt with family members who had dementia so I'm a bit sensitive to picking up on a number of things I've seen him both say and display.

[LeftInTX]

68. Forward leaning can also be "benign"

I've got a bad back and have all sorts of posture issues and it switches over the years.

Trump doesn't have a bad back, but he doesn't exercise and he isn't in shape. He is overweight and he runs around trying to impress people. He also wears shoe lifts and may have bones spurs in his heels. It's probably just an accommodation to all of this.

Writing off his demise is what has been going on since 2016. He's still around.

Donald Trump mocked over 'ill-fitting' tux at state dinner with the Queen



...snip...

Trump was compared to a cartoon character and even Frankenstein.

"OK, I was gonna make a joke about how Trump looks like the bit from Young Frankenstein, but, honestly, that's unfair to how well tailored the Monster's tux is," tweeted David J Bradley.

Maybe white-tie trends have changed? But no, wrote Jonathan Evans, the digital style director for the men's magazine Esquire. He says Trump's version was just wrong, most obviously in that the white waistcoat hung below his tailcoat.

"Donald Trump's outfit. It just isn't right... right? It's not easy to put your finger on the exact cause of the problem, but you don't need to know the ins and outs of white tie to know that something is not right with this situation," Evans wrote.

73. He looks like a portly formal Butler

I googled "formal butler" & here's one of the examples...

[DesertRat]

58. I've wondered why he has that odd stance

He also tightly grips the podium as well.

[Brainfodder]

60. Don't care why, just DIE already from it?

He hides his medical, college, and tax records.

Hilarious stupidity for that to be acceptable AT FUCKING ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is an awkward walking dick move who can't give condolences or apologize?

Who'd have time for an asshole like this, if he wan't top dipshit? (correct answer: other dipshits)

[LeftInTX]

69. I'm with you.

If he has it, at least throw his ass in a nursing home...

75. This example was pretty bad

Guess one might have to stand like that with 2' of belly? But I do think he has dementia.
