BY AIDA CHAVEZ - 07/28/17 10:02 AM EDT
Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan says President Trumps primary problem as a leader is not that he is inexperienced, crude, an outsider but that he is weak and sniveling and undermines himself almost daily by ignoring traditional norms of American masculinity.
He throws himself, sobbing, on the body politic, Noonan wrote Thursday in a Wall Street Journal column.
Hes a drama queen. It was once said, sarcastically, of George H.W. Bush that he reminded everyone of her first husband. Trump must remind people of their first wife. Actually his wife, Melania, is tougher than he is with her stoicism and grace, her self-discipline and desire to show the world respect by presenting herself with dignity.
Noonan, a conservative who's been critical of Trump in the past, said half the presidents tweets show utter weakness, as his attacks on news organizations and members of his own party are all whimpering accusation and finger-pointing. She said Trumps public brutalizing of Attorney General Jeff Sessions isnt strong, cool and deadly but limp, lame and blubbery.

(5,444 posts)After Mika read it this morning, Donny Deutsch had the best response: "hashtag limp." I'd like to combine that with JK Rowling's new title for him: King Frog @ #limp.

Eugene Robinson (WaPo) listening to Mika reading, was cracking up laughing and said, "Peggy's BRINGING it!"
This has GOT to leave a mark! An impotent, limp dick!

No, of course they don't. They do their best to hide it - and with good reason.
Our President is officially an idiot.

it's that he is weak and whiny and reminds men of thier first wife ???
His tweets are weak, they are shrill not masculine ?
Trump is isn't cool and deadly in his tweet attacks ?
Must be a jaundiced female republican perspective ?

And posters here cheering that on, just as they have with the gay slurs. Smh.

(13,390 posts)The idea of Trump being insulted makes me smile. But exploiting misogyny is always offensive to me- and much moreso coming from a woman.

(14,167 posts)The thing he brags about the most is his masculine "prowess." She's deliberately needling him by attacking an aspect of his image he values the most.
