Why Does Donald Trump Lean Forward? A Closer Look at the Mystery Behind His Posture.
Why Does Donald Trump Lean Forward? A Closer Look at the Mystery Behind His Posture. For years observers have noted Donald Trump’s peculiar forward leaning posture. While many people speculate about the cause the conversation surrounding this odd stance has largely been ignored by mainstream media. So what exactly is going on with Trump’s posture and why is it seemingly more pronounced now than during his 2016 campaign? Let’s break it down. If you’ve watched Trump closely at public appearances rallies or debates you’ve likely noticed that he often leans forward at the waist almost as if his upper body is being pulled downward. This unnatural stance has raised eyebrows with theories ranging from simple shoe lifts to more concerning medical conditions. Some have suggested that Trump’s lean could be due to lifts in his shoes which would artificially increase his height but potentially throw off his balance. However this explanation doesn’t hold up under scrutiny. Plenty of men wear shoe lifts yet they do not exhibit the pronounced forward tilt that Trump does. If shoe lifts were the primary cause we’d see similar postural issues in countless other high profile individuals but we don’t. Medical professionals have pointed out that a persistent forward lean can be symptomatic of underlying health issues. One potential explanation is camptocormia a condition associated with neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. Camptocormia causes individuals to lean forward when standing or walking often as a result of muscle weakness or spinal degeneration. Another possibility is some form of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Trump’s father, Fred Trump, suffered from Alzheimer’s and there is a hereditary component to dementia. Over 200 medical professionals have issued warnings about Trump’s cognitive health and a persistent forward lean is sometimes seen in patients with neurodegenerative conditions. The connection between posture and neurological decline is well documented in medical literature making this theory a serious one to consider. What’s even more baffling than Trump’s posture itself is the way so many people pretend it isn’t happening. There’s an almost Orwellian insistence from his supporters and many in the media that there’s nothing unusual about his stance. Yet, to any objective observer his posture is not normal. The reluctance to discuss it could be a result of America’s uncomfortable relationship with aging and illness especially in political figures. Discussing a leader’s health is often seen as taboo despite the immense power they wield. However, in Trump's case his extreme forward lean is not just a minor quirk it could be an indicator of something far more serious.

Wake up, Work, Repeat.... Content Warning.
There is one constant thing I remember about my childhood, and that is the adults in my family always saying they 'had' to work but also that they 'hated' work. As a child, I didn't really understand this concept, especially since I was always being taught the idea that if I did great in school and went to college, I would be able to get the job I wanted to have. As I grew up, I realized this was a lie for most people. College was very competitive and did not guarantee anything. The job market was filled with things that I was not taught or warned about - such as quid pro quo, nepotism - and that being a woman instantly gave me a disadvantage.

Stuck in Another Pointless DEI Training
The workplace. You know it. The one from your job. Where you go every day to clock in, nod through meetings, and pretend to be busy when your boss walks by. Or maybe you’re like me and it's just another one of those places where you have to pretend you don’t notice that you're the only person of color in the room. I mean sure, you’ve been doing it so long that now it comes to you fairly naturally, or maybe it's just a flickering thought that barely registers anymore. That is until that staff-wide HR meeting where they announce an addition to their annual ‘How to Act in the Workplace’ training. And you get excited because maybe it's finally that workshop that tells us how to exist in these spaces without the constant, unspoken weirdness (I’m not the only one who feels that right?). But then you hear it, those dreaded three letters: DEI.
