It Appears Trump is Wearing His High-Heeled Lifts Again, and Twitter Can’t Get Enough

By

Donald Trump is having a very rough Wednesday.

Following U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland’s testimony on Wednesday, Trump claimed to the press that the impeachment inquiry is “all over” since Sondland testified that the president had said, “I want nothing” when asked what he wanted from Ukraine.

“I’m going to go very quickly just a quick comment on what’s going on in terms of testimony with Ambassador Sondland, and I just noticed one thing, and I would say that means it’s all over,” President Trump declared. “‘What do you want from Ukraine?’ he asks me screaming. ‘What do you want from Ukraine? I keep hearing all these different ideas and theories.’ This is Ambassador Sondland speaking to me. Just happened. To which I turned off the television. ‘What do you want from Ukraine? I keep hearing these different ideas and theories. What do you want? What do you want?’ It was a very short and abrupt conversation that he had with me.”

“They said ‘he was not in a good mood,’ I’m always in a good mood. I don’t know what that is. He just said, now he’s talking about my response, he is going, ‘What do you want? What do you want? I hear all these theories, what do you want?’ right? And now here is my response that he gave. Just gave,” the president continued. “Ready? You have the cameras rolling? ‘I want nothing.’ That is what I want from Ukraine. That is what I said. I want ‘nothing.’ I said it twice.”

President Trump added, “I don’t know him very well, I have not spoken to him much. This is not a man I know well. Seems like a nice guy, though. But I don’t know him well. He was with other candidates. He actually supported other candidates, not me. Came in late.”

“But here is my response. Now, if you weren’t fake news you would cover it properly. I said to the ambassador in response, ‘I want nothing. I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo. Tell President Zelensky to do the right thing.’ So here’s my answer: ‘I want nothing. I want nothing. I want no quid pro quo. Tell Zelensky to do the right thing,’” the president concluded. “Then he says, ‘This is the final word from the President of the United States.’ I want nothing. Thank you, folks, have a good time.”

But what many on Twitter noticed was Trump seemed to be wearing his lifts again, to make himself taller.

And this is hardly the first time Trump has been spotted wearing his lifts.

Back in the summer at the G-7 in France, Trump was spotted hopping out of his car wearing them:

While at his rally in Minneapolis in October, 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:

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:
