Look how small his feet are.
I mean, I hate to be so childish, but how do people think that’s the way to think about anyone, let alone the President?

That’s their explaination for his bizarre posture? Because he has a superhuman dong? I am assuming this was meant in jest, but seriously, folks, get a fucking clue.

Tfw you are so steeped in toxic masculinity that literally all that you can think about anymore in any situation is dick size.

He wears a purple strap on?

Borrowed from Melania.

One of her lesser spares.
Or maybe there’s a Russian connection?

No, if he had a superhuman dong he would distribute his weight further back on his feet, to accommodate the extra load (no pun intended) in front.
Look at the picture again. He’s clearly trying to move forward while holding a baguette between his knees.

That man’s never eaten a baguette in his life, and you KNOW he can’t spell it, either.
Maybe it’s an economy size bottle of his orange makeup?

Obviously not, if he thinks it goes between his knees.

Story bizarrely checks out. Never mind their French name or vague classiness, apparently that Trump “never ate the bread” from his burgers is in several thousand headlines from 2017?

That’s weird. He’s picking the burger out of the bun every time he eats fast food?

Op-ed by Tom Nichols, a conservative professor at the Naval War College in Rhode Island:
Some representative sections:
Why do working-class white men—the most reliable component of Donald Trump’s base—support someone who is, by their own standards, the least masculine man ever to hold the modern presidency?
Not every working-class male voted for Trump, and not all of them have these traits, of course. And I do not present these beliefs and attitudes as uniformly virtuous in themselves. Some of these traditional masculine virtues have a dark side: Toughness and dominance become bullying and abuse; self-reliance becomes isolation; silence becomes internalized rage. Rather, I am noting that courage, honesty, respect, an economy of words, a bit of modesty, and a willingness to take responsibility are all virtues prized by the self-identified class of hard-working men, the stand-up guys, among whom I was raised.
And yet, many of these same men expect none of those characteristics from Trump, who is a vain, cowardly, lying, vulgar, jabbering blowhard. Put another way, as a question I have asked many of the men I know: Is Trump a man your father and grandfather would have respected?

Especially not ones who aren’t white.
Sorry, but I don’t think it’s pedantic to point out how easy it is to fall into equating “working class” people with “white working class” people. A lot of other working class people thereby recede from consideration.

Judging from the older men in my own family a mean bully who degrades all those around him is who some of our fathers and grandfathers were. Those were the good old days. So yeah, I think some men (working class or otherwise) romanticise exactly that kind of behavior.

I agree that the article was so focused on explaining white people’s seemingly irrational choice to other white people that it did not take the small extra steps needed to show the intersectionality of race and socio-economic status.
Still, I thought it was worth sharing.

Definitely. I didn’t mean to trash the whole thing!
