As a follower of Florida Gov. and likely presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis (R) varying moral crimes against queer kids, marginalized people, and even books that dare to mention LGBTQ+ issues, I feel obligated to direct your attention now to the irony of him continually wearing high heels. You see, American presidents tend to be tall. We rarely elect presidents under six feet tall, actuallya fact pointed out by Burlington County Times, which coldly quipped that manlets (ostensibly men under six feet) need not apply to the office. This is deeply intertwined with the fact that America has never elected a woman president: Voters still seem to be hanging onto this idea that a president has to appear manly and strong, though masculinity and physical strength literally have nothing to do with the job description.
Enter DeSantis, whom varying sources approximate to be in the height range of 58 to 510. A lot of pundits are taking note of the authoritarian governors apparent height deficit and concluding that he is simply too short to win the presidency without compensatory shoes, podium stools, and photoshop stretchingespecially not while standing next to someone taller, like Donald Trump (6'3"
. And now, just days after DeSantis appeared in public in heels that I, a noted heel-wearer, would wager give him a good three inches, a new Bloomberg report revealed that among other disparaging nicknames, former President Trump is entertaining the idea of calling DeSantis Tiny D. This conveniently doubles as a dig at both his height and his dick.
