The Machismo of Donald Trump
My Head | Oct 8 2016 | Me

Posted on 10/08/2016 12:07:46 PM PDT by Ben Mugged

OK, so Trump showed machismo when in a group of males by making "inappropriate" references to females. Machismo is the sense of being 'manly' and self-reliant, the concept associated with "a strong sense of masculine pride with the supreme valuation of characteristics culturally associated with the masculine and by implication some say, a denigration of characteristics associated with the feminine. It is associated with a man’s responsibility to provide for, protect, and defend his family. Old school? Maybe, but get a group of males together with testosterone flowing and machismo shows up. I wouldn't give a plugged nickle for any male without that characteristic. Liberals want to define the behavior as abhorrent. I could name a host of liberal behaviors I could define that way. Given a choice between them, macho is not so bad.

This only strengthens my support of soon-to-be-President Donald Trump. He speaks his mind clearly and without equivocation. In this case, they are words that most men use frequently. In spite of (or maybe because of), DJT remains Presidential.

Trump should say ...."Yes, I used to be a skank and say skanky things, and I WAS a Democrat, but my wife has been a HUGE POSITIVE change in my life....I'm now a Pro-Life Republican and a much better Christian thanks to my wonderful wife, Melania" Give Melania credit.....every woman wants to be able to change their husbands just a little.

All anyone else needs to say...:He was a Democrat back then".

I like to think I am a pretty masculine guy, with masculine buddies. I can bench over 300lbs., restore muscle cars and classic tractors, can do most any type of construction, and can shoot fairly well.

I have never, as a married man, discussed hitting on a married woman with a total stranger, while bragging about sexual assault, nor have any one of my “macho” guy friends. This isn’t guy talk. This is a caricature of masculinity... a rich boy who has probably never thrown a punch or swung a hammer in his life... demeaning someone’s daughter or mother. The “macho” thing to do to a guy who gropes women is to knock him out.

But that’s just one man’s opinion. Flame away.

Any red blooded American male has had these locker room type
conversations, including myself.

If that was the case, Bill Clinton would would have spent his career looking at the sky while he was laid out on the ground.

I can’t believe people are over reacting to this. But then again we just lost millions due to Matthew didn’t we?

The left over the years has pushed pornography, adultery, male sex clubs, transsexual operations, films with kids saying bad words or in situations that are sexually implied situations, blah blah blah.

What a bunch of hypocrites they are.

Meanwhile, Bill made the White House a national embarrassment with sexual affairs. That is ignored because Hillary said NOTHING during that. In fact she put down the women who were involved.

So you never once used the terms: “He is a pussy” or “Bitch slap” maybe “she acts like a whore” or “that cunt cut me off”? I’ve been married for 49 years with 20 years in the military and I’ve seen and heard it all.

None of the qualities you list are the true measure of a man.

The true measure, the most difficult, is honesty.

It’s opposite, that which emasculates, is dishonesty. Like when Trump’s comments are mischaracterized for political purposes.

Two young women and a couple of nearby young men were murdered because the women had the initial, ‘M.’ Monica is alive because of the blue dress and because she went so public.

Aren’t you a brave internet poster? If you were man enough to say such a thing to me in person (and I am not saying you aren’t) you wouldn’t think that for long. I might lose... nobody can beat everybody... but you would know I had been there.

Good day to you, tough guy.

So yes, I’m saying you’ve emasculated yourself.

Aren't you special. Except for the part of wanting to throw the election because you have an agenda for 2016.

This was an illegally taped private conversation, long before Trump was in politics, released by a member of the Bush Dynasty. Doesn't the assault on freedom of speech bother you just a little?
