Trump isn’t an icon of positive masculinity. He also did very little for young men during his four years as president

    Trump did very little for anyone. Unless you’re rich.

      Even then it’s not like it was intentional. He only did it for himself, it’s just that other rich people also coincidentally benefited.

        Yeah Trump is very simple - he punishes anyone who doesn’t actively support him and rewards anyone who does. Anything he does for anybody is simply to show others that if you’re good to Trump, he’ll throw you a bone too.

        He spends so much time performing for his base to ensure he has enough political power for that system to work. Once his base gets bored of him he’ll be nothing.

      I knew guys running their own businesses that benefitted from the 2017 tax breaks. Unfortunately, the dumb fucks didn’t notice those were temporary from the outset and staged to revert back after the next presidential election. And those tax breaks directly give Republicans the excuse to say “we don’t have money for all these social programs.”

        Yet whenever there’s an opportunity to cut taxes on high earners, the Republicans are on it like flies on shit.

      and even then he did it for himself in the long run.
