well in fairness, trump can't sit up that straight. you need a spine to do that

... entirely seriously, he does not seem to be able to actually stand up straight.

There are hundreds or thousands of photos where he is like this, this very strange forward posture.

He... almost certainly has some kind of diagnosable posture/spine related condition.

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

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.

Is this fancy words for 'weird butt'?

Probably to counter weight his full diaper

Its frontoparietal dementia.

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").
