Is Trump a modern day John Wayne?
Self | 8/26/2015 | Boomer

Posted on 08/26/2015 12:55:14 PM PDT by Boomer

In watching the interaction with Trump and Ramos I thought of John Wayne when Trump told Ramos to sit down several times and then a final time with authority.

I like to think John Wayne wouldn't have put up with the rudeness from Ramos either.

I dunno. Maybe Trump is a cross between John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Ronald Reagan, and of course, himself in many ways.

One thing is for sure; I know I'm tired of weak effeminate male leaders of which we have far too many in DC now starting with obummer, McConnell, and Boehner. I hate to admit it but Reid and Pelosi have bigger cajones than our current congressional leadership.

What say you?

No. Trump is much more of a James Cagney or a Lee Tracy than a John Wayne.

I don;t hate him, I just hate the socialism he promotes, his media cronies, and his trying to take U.S. culture into the gutter. He’s part of the establishment, and trying to crush the Tea Party.

"He's been this way since the 80s and he has never been manly.

Wow! I never thought you Trump haters would sink to the level of your comment. Trump "manly?" I didn't think this was a male stud contest weighed upon perceived images created by Hollywood.

You would be the first one to be manipulated by the ridicule derived from references to "Bedtime for Bonzo." You would have voted for the Democrat because anyone who stared in such a ridiculous movie is unfit for--dog catcher.

I didn’t say it was a stud contest, but why does Trump have to act like a teenage drama queen. is it that terrible to be a man.

Granny Clampett was the best gunman of them all. She never missed.

Reagan was a great leader, and I like him. But he's the exact opposite of Trump. By the way, he was a great actor, check him out in Brother Rat. That's possibly his best film.

Sorry, I think King's Row was better, I forgot about that one. Dark Victory may have been a better role, but Reagan had a smaller role in that film.

I guarantee you his poll numbers are going to increase even more. Every time he does/says something that the media is SURE are going to sink him, he comes back stronger.

This does show his backbone. It shows that he's not going to back down or take 2nd place to anyone no matter how important they think they are.

Really? Do you know any men who act like Trump? Straight men at least.

Well, we women certainly don’t.

Find something else to compare him to.

Not all women. Most women don’t act like that, but the reality show drama queens do. Them and Donald Trump.

“I didn’t think this was a male stud contest weighed upon perceived images created by Hollywood.”

Huh? That’s pretty much the entire premise of the thread you are commenting on... started by a PRO-Trump poster.
