Trump oozes male entitlement, from his brash insistence that he’s the best at everything despite knowing very little about anything to his history of crass sexism… Mr. President Trump ran a campaign of aggrieved masculinity… Mr. Jill Filopovic summarized the relationship between Trump and white men: You’d be hard pressed to come up with a more explicit description of sexual harassment.”Ĭommentators about the 2016 Presidential election said that Trump keyed into and represented the angry white man.
