You’d expect Trump be surrounded by manly men that actually do things, not some porn-watching wimps.

The left want to define traditional masculinity as toxic. They want to define the traditional masculine virtues – things like courage and independence and assertiveness – as a danger to society.

Remember that time Trump raped his wife because he was pissed off about his hair replacement surgery? That’s a thing that happened.

The DailyBeast account of the incident is quite detailed right down to Ivana pulling his hair and Trump yanking on her hair extensions or wig.

And the GOP stays silent. The RW are all being painted with the woman beater brush and they do nothing. By tomorrow the toxic men of the GOP will be bragging about beating their wives and kids and killing their pets. Dems are handling this just right. Let the RW stew in their own juices.

IIRC, Ivana’s rape allegation (she did not call it rape, but that’s obviously what it was) was made in her deposition during the divorce. She hasn’t talked about it publicly since then, no doubt because of a nondisclosure/nondisparage clause in the settlement agreement.
