Donald Trump has a strange way of sitting, and he has an even stranger way of standing. People have pointed this out many times over the years, and we got a stark example on Tuesday.

All the way back in 2023, Washington Monthly looked at one theory for why Trump stands the way he does.

“Mr. Trump’s bizarre forward-leaning standing posture is much remarked upon. This is the effect of heel lifts in his shoes. He doesn’t stand like that when he golfs—only when wearing his Big Suit shoes.”

We got another example of that on Tuesday:

That was Trump, standing before the press at his meeting with the leaders of the major AI companies, where he said that he wants to change the name of “artificial intelligence” to “super intelligence” in government documents.

But a lot of people on social media only wanted to talk about how the president was standing during the announcement. On top of wearing black shoes with a blue suit, it appeared that Trump’s feet were facing one direction while the rest of his body faced another.
