In the midst of a wave of Trump administration officials announcing their resignations and the House’s push to impeach President Trump in the aftermath of the deadly insurrection at the Capitol that he incited, Trump campaign spokesperson Hogan Gidley took to Fox News on Monday to defend the President’s … masculinity?
“Gidley then attempted to project Trump as ‘the most masculine’ POTUS to have ever lived.”
“I’ve always loved you.”
Gidley is such a POS!
A truly masculine president would have raised his sword and led his insurrectionists down to the Capitol to overturn that election.
Maybe a better question would have been multiple choice: Which recent event was more emasculating? Losing the election, having his team of “lawyers” launch their embarrassing election challenges next to a porno shop, losing 60+ election challenges, being led on and eventually abandoned by Mike Pence, failing in killing Mike Pence, failing to stop the electoral certification, failing to kill Nancy Pelosi …
or losing his twitter account.
When asked his opinion on the exchange, Congressman Jim Jordan had this to say: “Ahhhh! Ohhhh! Ackkkkkk!”
Before I get to the fun part here I have to say that “emasculated” is used by extension to mean “deprived of power or influence.” It’s not weird or creepy to use it in that sense.
Haha but now the fun part. John H. Gidley (he likes for you to call him Hogan, his middle name, and go explain that) is by fundamental nature one of those wimpy creepy guys who hang around as sidekicks to a bully. You’d think at his fortyish age you’d grow the hell out of that, but one look at him and you can see he doesn’t have other pathways in life. Bully sidekick was foreordained for him, and he must live out his destiny, contemptible as it is. Sucks to be you, John H. Gidley.
Masculinity? Are they confusing it with MassObesity?
I think he misunderstands…Trump is a big dick, he doesn’t have a big dick.
George Bush I, whether you hate him or love him, was a torpedo bomber who finished a sortie even though his plane was on fire, forcing him to bail out for his life shortly afterwards.
I kind of don’t see trump doing that.
Bill Hemmer must have a bone to pick with Hogan Gidley to spur him on like that.
Indeed. I remember when people were calling him a “wimp.” Nobody who flies combat air is a wimp.
Or failing to come up with a health care plan. Or an infrastructure plan. Or to bring China to its collective knees because “trade wars are easy”. Or keeping Iran from nuclear buildup. Or keeping North Korea from possessing nuclear weapons. Or failing to have his immigration changes pass muster.
An abject failure all around. Is that the new ‘masculinity’?
He was just ribbing him.
And not many people parachute in their 90s.
For that matter, not many people parachute.
“The president does not avoid women. But he does deny them his essence.”
Nope. Morally as a politician we can talk about GHWB, but for physical courage he never had much to prove.
And on live TV.
There are many presidents who have done brave things, from the ones who fought in the military (like this example) to ones like Johnson that passed legislation that they knew would cost them support because it was the right thing to do. Our great presidents showed real bravery in putting themselves out there and risking their lives or futures.
Trump has never been brave, he’s a craven coward who lacks the basic human behavior that would make anyone do something risky that might cost them. He’s simply a coward, afraid to confront our enemies (or even comforting them) while enraging his violent base in order to control the Republican party and the nation. He’s just like the worst bullies, all it takes is a punch in the nose to show what cowards they really are, and even if they come back you just have to do it again.
Trump got punched in the nose on Tuesday…he thought he would be able to take advantage of the Capitol invasion in some way, or he just enjoyed the idea of terrorizing the members of Congress who have stood against him. That all blew up in his face, but he’s going to try to egg his racist tools on again, and again, and get them to do all of the dirty work because he’s too cowardly to lead from the front. He’s stolen their money, now he’s getting everything else he can out of them to sow chaos. It won’t work, America is clearly stronger than him or them and we won’t fall, though it may hurt to deal with this nonsense again.
And, in the end, Trump will go down in history as our worst president…that was already on the table but even Buchanan didn’t incite riots or the start of the Civil War, he just stood by and let it happen. There’s no comparison in our history to what just happened, the closest I can think of is Jackson’s inauguration party, and that wasn’t a planned event to attack the government but a party that got out of hand. On top of everything else he’s done, it’s just the cherry on top…with the fear that he has a few more cherry bombs to throw before he’s done.
