He's well and truly in the wind.

I'm a big believer in distinctive gaits, but they're putting a lot of faith in the gait. The arms-behind-the-back pose looked posed for specifically that camera. I'm not 100% convinced that a) the belly is real and b) the gait is not a put-on.

All that said, the likelihood is that he used his own jacket known to friends and relatives, his postures and gait are recognizable to friends and relatives, and he drinks too much beer while parroting Mark Levin podcast content about academic elites.
