He's trying to disguise the size of his gut. As an overweight man myself I know from personal experience just how prominent the belly can be in a normal posture. It also explains why he habitually sits slumped forward,cand why he prefers to be photographed with his head tilted back..to hide his neck wattles. He may well have a medical condition that explains his bizarre posture. But overweening vanity in an otherwise short, dumpy fat man works very well as a reason.
