The president’s primary problem as a leader is not that he is impetuous, brash or naive. It’s not that he is inexperienced, crude, an outsider. It is that he is weak and sniveling. It is that he undermines himself almost daily by ignoring traditional norms and forms of American masculinity.
He’s not strong and self-controlled, not cool and tough, not low-key and determined; he’s whiny, weepy and self-pitying. He throws himself, sobbing, on the body politic. He’s 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. […]
His public brutalizing of Attorney General Jeff Sessions isn’t strong, cool and deadly; it’s limp, lame and blubbery. “Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes,” he tweeted this week. Talk about projection.
Damn!
Noonan sums up her verbal curb stomping of Donald Trump thusly:
Donald Trump now is like an unfunny Woody Allen.
Yeah in the world of conservatism it does not get much worse than to be compared to Woody Allen or Alan Alda.
Though to be honest I think either one of those guys could crush Donald Trump in a street brawl.
I mean by the time the guy finally liberated his overly plump arms from the confines of his suit, courtesy of Omar the Tent Maker, he would be way too exhausted to actually make a fist.
Other than that I think that Noonan has perfectly described Trump's lack of manliness in a way that I am sure will inspire him to wake up at 3:00 AM and slam his pudgy digits onto the keys of his smart phone until the hurting stops.
Maybe he will even call up the Mooch and have him do that thing where he describes what a great athlete Trump is:
“He’s the most competitive person I’ve ever met,” Scaramucci said. “Okay? I’ve seen this guy throw a dead spiral through a tire. I’ve seen him at Madison Square Garden with a topcoat on. He’s standing in the key; he’s hitting foul shots and swishing them, all right? He sinks 30-foot putts.”
"Say it again Moochy, only slower this time and try to make it sexy."
