My favorite part of the video is that Trump keeps trying to do this stupid fucking power move where he gives a firm handshake and refuses to let go. Newsom was ready for it and Trump had to forcibly pull his hand away.

Edit: Sorry for not being clear. There is a link to a tweet in the article that has the video.

      That’s what happens when you wear giant lifts in your shoes because you’re a little bitch obsessed about your height.

        Lots of people wear heals all the time and don’t lean forward like this. Something is wrong with Trumps health, and they’re hiding it.

      Judging by the (presumably) vertical structures in the distance, the photo is tilted 4–5 degrees CCW.

        So, I put a piece of paper over their feet and lined it up with the horizon of the pavement so I have a better visual reference. He’s still got the lean.

          The “horizon” of the pavement isn’t horizontal—the airstrip is receding into the distance, with the far end behind Newsom. And the actual horizon is hilly, so it can’t be relied on, either—that’s why I think the vertical structures are a better indication of true up and down.

          And of course Trump is leaning forward to hide his belly like he always does, but what makes the photo look so weird is that everyone behind him seems to be leaning to a lesser extent. If you turn the photo CW by 4 or 5 degrees, the two men by the stairs are standing straight while Trump and Newsom are both leaning toward each other. (It also becomes clear that Newsom is taller than Trump, even with the latter’s boosted heels—the original tilted photo makes them seem closer in height.)

          Example.
