I can’t think of anyone with thinner skin than Trump. He whines and cries about absolutely everything! Even when those things have nothing to do with him he will always find a way to make himself into a victim.

He isn’t wrong. I feel for anyone who is pathetic enough to think Trump or Vance or Putin or Netanyahu are any kind of man at all.

Just finished watching that speech. Obama needs to do more speeches. MORE. He’s the greatest.

Seriously. Are there men who think Trump represents manliness?
He’s reactive, petty, vindictive, and lewd. His one emotion is anger. He can’t admit errors. He can’t share credit. He blames others for his mistakes. He lies so freely that I doubt he even knows he is lying at this point. Are there actually men who look up to that as an example of a good man?

I keep forgetting that Obama is legitimately a great orator. Direct, to the point. Feels like your dad is having a conversation with you.

It’s weird he needs to point this out.

Trump doesn’t even represent fake strength. There is literally nothing strong about him

I imagine every Trump supporter has a relative, whether mother or father, perhaps grandparent, who served in the military or served their community. Think about these great people and quit imagining Donald Trump has ever helped anybody. Wake up from the delusion.

Hell he doesn’t even represent fake strength very well

I could listen to him talk forever. He’s just so darn likable. Says exactly what needs to be said at the right time. A fantastic communicator and best president of my lifetime, and I’m in my 40s. I miss him.

People sometimes confuse bullying as strength when it is the exact opposite of strength.

Having accountability for yourself is half the battle, and Trump never had any of it.

Obama is right. A real man can admit when he lost and Trump has spent 4 years being a sore loser.

The Character and Eligibility of Donald Trump: A Critical Examination.
Obama is a man secure in his masculinity. That’s a real man. The young guys who go for Trump have been rejected by girls or are just very insecure as men. Take JD Vance, for example, a fat spotty kid, who probably spent his adolescence in the attic with a porno mag. So now he’s taking his imaginary revenge on women, who he wants to see pregnant, barefoot and in the kitchen, completely subservient to him… So, the popular guys are totally cool with a lady president, and the JDs of the world are for Trump. My theory, at least
> "I'm sorry, gentlemen, I've noticed this especially with some men who seem to think some of Trump's behavior – the bullying and the putting people down – is a sign of strength. And I am here to tell you: That is not what real strength is. It never has been," Obama said, drawing heavy applause from the Democratic crowd.
> "Real strength is about working hard. And carrying a heavy load is about complaining. Real strength is about taking responsibility for your actions and telling the truth even when it's inconvenient," he said.
Is he suggesting that the guy who covers his face in bronze makeup and uses cans of hairspray to hold down the world’s biggest combover of blonde dyed hair, who can’t admit he lost an election, is not an alpha male?

He does represent real racism.

Exactly. He’s infantile, insecure, spiteful, a two bit bulley. How anyone can believe he’s a Christian is beyond me. Jesus preached avenge your enemies and commit adultery right?

I’m still shocked that a man as cartoonishly pathetic as trump is somehow a “manly” guy to the right.

Obama was amazing! I can’t imagine how many diaper changes Trump is going to need after watching Obama slam him.

It’s surreal to see this puffed-up little rich boy Trump trying to strut with a “strong man” image. He’s a pussy-grabbing freak and the fact that he’s gonna get more than zero votes is crazy to me. I’ve had tamer mushroom trips than this, it’s insane.

Trump represents toxic masculinity. He lives and breathes it. Obama and Walz are shining examples of positive masculinity.

90% of men I encounter who are straight are not real men. To be fair I live in a red state. I can’t tell you how many of them puff their chest at me. And as soon as they realize I’m not a weak flower they fold like a deck of cards.
Actual men are loving and nurturing, protectors and teachers. They nourish their spouse and children and teach them the ways of the force so they too can someday fight the evil empire.
Trump plays into all the fake macho BS because almost all of them are insecure and cowards.

Trump whines and cries incessantly. Hundreds of tweets a day. This guy is as soft as it gets. Such a pussy he was afraid to admit he lost. By a lot.

Real men are humble and would sacrifice the shirt off their back for those they love. There is a lot of beauty and heroism in manhood that is far different than than toxic masculinity.

> PITTSBURGH – Rallying for Kamala Harris, former President Barack Obama spoke directly to American men and characterized Donald Trump as mendacious and self-centered, saying he doesn't represent "Real strength.”
