You would think POTUS would get them so they span the entire foot.

Honestly, I never really knew about them until recently.

None of that applies to me, but I wobble plenty when trying to stand still. It's something between fidgeting and balancing.

The forward leaning angle at which he stands looks quite awkward. It probably creates a lot of tension in his lower back.

A lot of people do side-to-side swaying while standing. Feel good about it if it helps you.

Trumps heel lifts are bad for him, but he thinks it's better to be an inch taller.

https://vertavahealth.com/meth/parkinsons-disease/

Recent studies have linked the use of methamphetamine and amphetamine drugs, some of the most commonly abused substances, to an increased risk of Parkinson’s Disease. The adverse effects of methamphetamine on the neurotransmitter dopamine relate directly to a dopamine deficiency strongly associated with Parkinson’s.

my father had Parkinson's and I attributed it to him being a professional boxer at one time. Getting hit in the head is not normal. He didn't take either drug. I see in trump some of the same symptoms as my father had. I also think trump takes some kind of drug.

It is theorized that Hitler had Parkinsons and/or meth addiction (the latter is actually fairly documented). Symptoms appear similar, in the archival footage.

It kicks up in the cold, and could make his feet swell. He looks looks like he is in severe pain.

He should give up his quest. The stress of it will only make it worse.

....and by the grimaced looks on his face which coincided perfectly with the movement of the 12 degree arc formed by his lower back and abdomen as he swayed back and forth, I would have to conclude that he was on the verge of a monumental ass explosion or what some folks would refer to as a cajun power bomb.
