I’m not suggesting that one should admire Trump, I am saying that some men likely envy him. How obtuse can you be to keep putting up strawman responses to what I didn’t in the least suggest?

Trump was a known athlete in school, with classmates reporting that he could have gone pro in baseball. But he’s a good golfer today.

But while we’re at it, I’m not so narrow as to dismiss someone because of where they live (Manhattan) or because their children are capable of friendships across political divides. Jeesh!

You believe some men envy Trump for his sports record in school and decent golf skills?

Seriously?

Look, what I am asking is why men would envy Trump more than they envy any of the other candidates who are married and who play a fair game of golf.

There really is no reason, other than the hero worship some of his fans have built up around him.

Which also explains your easy dismissal of the daughter's feminism and liberalism.

She's a Manhattan liberal---a feminist---who seeks like company. She isn't a Tea Partier wishing she could find right-wing friends and reluctantly settling for Democrats.

You are right about the jealousy factor. There are posters on this forum whose biggest issue with Trump is his wealth. When the words “class envy” come into the discussion, the opposition fades away.
