Trump groupie calls trump "A real man..."

No wonder he's on his THIRD marriage.

A senior member of President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team suggested on Thursday that America would “be a leader in the world once again” after President Barack Obama leaves office because the country had chosen a “real man” over Hillary Clinton.

During an interview on MSNBC’s Chris Jansen, Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn downplayed reports that members of the Rockettes had objected to performing at the president-elect’s inauguration.

“Of course, there’s going to be a lot of the authentic parts of Donald Trump,” Epshteyn said of the inaugural address. “Because that’s why he is the president-elect, that’s why he’s becoming president because the people elected a real man, a true man, a man who loves this country to the very bottom of his heart.”

is more of a man than one who honors his family and wife.

Thanks Boris, for cheapening masculinity.

Meaning masculinity is essential to the qualities of strength, courage and competence. It's interesting how people can't see the inherent sexism. This is a perfect example of misogyny, subconsciously internalized in our culture, through language.

As it is, the rest of us average-income slobs are underwriting his lavish lifestyle by paying his share of the bill.
