Whenever I hear that Trump is "tough"

[LuckyCharms]

I laugh.

He's not tough.

His hands have probably never used a hammer. He has probably never had a callous. He has never had to work to the point of exhaustion.

He is a doughy fucker with a big mouth, and that's about it.

A tough man has empathy because he has seen the dark side of life. A tough man cries in public. A tough man treats all genders with kindness, because he knows what it is like to be belittled without recourse. A tough man, while not having to love animals, usually doesn't despise them and wonder how anyone can enjoy having a pet.

A tough man presents himself with calm strength and reassurance ..the strength that comes from inside. Not the "strength" that is conveyed through his piehole. A tough man doesn't style his hair like Bozo the Clown to call attention to himself.

A tough man is a kind man.

1. Tough guys don't whine like babies on Twitter...

... when people say the media is "unfair" to Trump I reply and say all you need to do to understand Trump is read his fucking tweets. His own words. Tweets in which he lies, whines, snivels insults, lies, sobs about being insulted, carries on tantrums, displays the thinnest skin found in mankind, lies, name-calls, exhibits juvenile - hell, INFANTILE - behavior, lies, lies and tells more lies. While throwing tantrums. Constant, constant tantrums.

How anyone could look at this Twitter feed and declare him "tough" is beyond me. He is a fucking crybaby through and through.

7. He's the original snowflake who needs his safe space, Twitter.

2. Off to greatest with you! Nt

[Mister Ed]

3. "A tough man is a kind man".

Thank you. I'm going to repeat that phrase now and again to my little twin grandsons as they grow up. "A tough man is a kind man, boys". Like their daddy, who is a fine young man indeed.

4. I've seen it here in the past

but, it was something like Trump is a weak man's idea of a tough guy, a poor man's idea of a rich guy, etc.

sounded pretty appropriate

[Pacifist Patriot]

5. Well said, thank you!

[llmart]

6. He's actually a sniveling coward...

There is nothing "tough" about him. His supposed bone spurs kept him out of the military.

[Farmer-Rick]

17. Tough guys don't run from military service....

[llmart]

18. Neither do tough women...

I have two sisters who served - one in the Army as a WAC (she was sexually assaulted by her superior officer) and another who served in a war zone in Viet Nam.

[Farmer-Rick]

19. True that.

But I was referring specifically to Trump.

But brave and strong women have been serving in our military depite their bone spurs.

You have a very brave family. Thank you.

[llmart]

31. Both of them volunteered.

The women in my family were the strong ones.

[Generic Other]

8. Thank you for speaking the truth

Trump represents the worst qualities in a human being.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

9. He's a soft doughy sack of lazy shit. Who's never done a day's work in

his entire worthless existence.

[VaBchTgerLily]

10. Very well said!

[Laxman]

11. You've Got That Right.....

there's nothing "tough" about Trump but his talk. It's a substitute for actually being tough. It's how he compensates for being the weak doughboy he knows that he is. So when the voices in his head are telling him how much of a weak, feeble pathetic excuse for a person he really is he talks about roughing up suspects or dropping bombs on people or how weak somebody else is. This is a guy who never did an honest day's work in his life because he never had to. It's why he can sleep at night after not paying contractors who actually do work hard, because he doesn't respect what they do. But he sure does talk a good game.

[Oneironaut]

12. He's a fraud. He's a pseudo-tough guy who is actually a delicate crybaby.

Trump represents the very worst of pseudo-masculinity in America. He's a delicate flower that uses shallow actions to fool gullible idiots into believing that he's a strongman.

[Scarsdale]

13. He is also the

"leader" of the weak willed GOP. They have prayed for someone just like him to come along, someone who "will sign anything put in front of him" The gop is being diminished by pandering to this piss-poor excuse for a human being. He is their representative. Never had any respect for McConnell, Ryan, Graham and the others, but this is a new low, even for them. They are selling their souls, along with this country down the river for a MAD MAN.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Trump is a weak person's idea of a strong-man, poor person's idea of a rich man, stupid person's

[Farmer-Rick]

21. Well put.

[world wide wally]

15. "Tough men" don't generally wear toupees, get pedicures, have fake tans, or whine constantly.

Can you imagine when he goes to bed at night and takes out how s teeth?
No wonder Melania gets paid so much.

[Pepsidog]

16. Tough my ass, he is a yellow belly coward

[Wounded Bear]

20. Well, I'm sure his hands have held a shovel...

You know, one of those gold plated ones pretentious developers hold to break ground at a new site. He never actually dug a hole with one.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. "His hands have probably never used a hammer. He has probably never had a callous. He has never..."

He's never been in a real fight. Beating up other rich kids at military school doesn't count.

[Fritz Walter]

27. Neither does sucker-punching a WWE chairman on pay-per-view

We’ve all seen the YouTube video, so there’s no need to post it here.

[Bromwell]

23. So true

Also further proof....when he is face to face with people, ever notice how NOT tough he is? Remember when during the campaign he visited that black church and fell into a campaign speech trashing Hillary and that pastor woman (I believe she was a pastor) basically smacked him down and told him no, we didn't invite you here for that? And the tough guy shrunk like a wee flower, literally bowed his head like a little boy and was saying "oh...Ok, Ok...sure". So tough.

When confronted face to face he is typical of any punk......he folds up like a cheap tent.

[Maeve]

24. He's 'tough' when he can loom behind someone to intimidate them

Thinking of him stalking Hillary at the one debate...but it's all bluster and bs...he thinks because he schmoozed with mafiosi and paid them off that he's tough, too...

[George II]

25. I think things like that everytime I mow the lawn, or do grocery shopping. He never did ANY of that!

[alfredo]

26. Trump has pets. The West Wing is full of his lapdogs.

[byronius]

28. 'Punch him in the nose, does he not cry like a baby?' Yes.

Some people confuse 'mean and stupid' with 'tough'.

[redstatebluegirl]

29. He has always used his money to bully working people.

Threats of litigation that a small business cannot afford. He is not tough like my dad who farmed for 40 years, he is just a bully.

[yuiyoshida]

30. No, Trump is your run of the mill

Hater...and disgusting human being.
