IIRC, the long-standing rumor is that he's got heel lifts in his shoes to make himself seem taller.

heel lifts in his shoes

Also, make-up, hair job, false eyebrows, girdle, and wears pampers.

His VP wears eye-liner.

They are heroes of our manly right wing.

Look at the left shoe. It’s already got a good size heel, plus the crease where the flex for the toe joints would be is just a couple inches below the laces. Dudes got high heels and lift inserts. Probably a good 3+ inches.

I think Desantis did the same thing, his boots had the creases way high up plus a way higher bridge in the boot to compensate for the lifts.

While highly probable, that alone doesn't cause one to stand like this. There must be some insane degree of anterior pelvic tilt going on.

Perhaps it's a weird compensation issue because he never learned to walk right with them. Like I'm 5'5 with a bit of an odd posture at times, his posture really vaguely looks like mine when I get new boots. Mind you after a week I'm moving in work boots like they're leather gymnastics boots but still. Though there's also the difference that I favor my right shoulder with my lean.

I thought he was pretty tall to begin with

Trudeau is 6'2", and the two men appear about the same height in that photo. In images of the 2016 Republican debate, he appears to be only slightly taller than Ted Cruz (5'10"), and not even close to as tall as Jeb Bush (6'3").

Is this fancy words for 'weird butt'?

Probably to counter weight his full diaper
