Trump aide objects after Fox News host asks if president is 'emasculated'January 11, 2021
David Edwards
Trump campaign spokesperson Hogan Gidley objected to a question from Fox News which suggested that President Donald Trump has been "emasculated" after losing the 2020 election.
"With the social media crackdown, does he feel emasculated?" Fox News host Bill Hemmer asked Gidley in the Monday interview. "Especially as he heads out of office."
"Look, I wouldn't say emasculated," Gidley replied. "I mean, the most masculine person ever I think to hold the White House is the president of the United States."
Gidley went on to accuse liberals and technology companies of a "systematic attack against not just him, but against 75 million Americans, who disagree with the socialist-communist vision that Democrats have for this country."

My list of "presidents more masculine than Trump" would probably include all of them.

He's a former White House communications guy.
Another quitter. Must be friends with Palin.

(9,078 posts)He spends more time and money on his hair than just about any woman. He wears make-up. He hides in his bunker. He cries every time says something he doesn't like. He has to lie and boast about his (lack of) achievements. And this is supposed to be the most masculine president ever?

(1,950 posts)What a crock of B.S.- speaking of B.S., that is the only area Trump can lay claim to being the best ever.
For starters, how about Theodore Roosevelt. And T.R. was not only a man's man, he possessed a lot of intelligence and wisdom to go with it. There are certainly other choices but he came to my mind first. Roosevelt grew up sickly and asthmatic but whipped himself into fine physical shape and was an accomplished boxer, among other things.

(1,298 posts)None of the others as far as I know have to constantly reassert their supposed bona fides and then have to back it up by assuring they are surrounded by folks willing to echo these outlandish, boorish, and clearly incorrect bits of braggadocio.
Not that there is any truth at all to his claims, whether with regards to appendage size, intelligence (!), crowd size, "least racist person in the room," etc., etc. ad nauseum, bit frankly I suspect anyone truly near the upper extreme in terms of some mythical scale of "most masculine" would likely be a horrific socially-unfit lost soul.

This the the guy who, in a duel stood still and let the known best marksman in the country shoot him, near the heart, then he stood his ground and fired back. Andrew didn't even know anyone who had bone spurs. He would have beaten Trump half to death with his cane for what he did last week.
Honey Badgers were calm and mild mannered before they were tutored by Jackson.

(82,849 posts)They're really pushed all in on that 75 million figure, haven't they? It was 74.1 million votes, Hogan, and Biden/Harris polled 81.2 million votes. Your emasculated boy lost by 7.1 million votes to a ticket with a woman on it. Sad!
