Is she saying that he's presidenting like a girl? I remember the meme (90's and 00's) about the "feminization of America" and "We're getting too soft." 45's problems are that he's a narcissistic bully.

But yeah, as appealing as the rant may be in some respects, it's also sexist.

But, I wonder if that's intentional
Nothing seems to get il Douche all quivering and angry like having any male member of his administration compared to or portrayed by a woman

...if he sees it, it will have that effect, more so than if she had made the same kinds of criticisms without being so overtly feminizing.

Same goes for Chapo Trap House. Real men aren't posturing bullies.

and even better because you know how much he would hate it

Stephanie Miller should do a version of the Scaramooch song where someone says "nobody loves me, everybody hates me" in tRump voice.

A drama queen who wants to rid the military of gays, lesbian and transgender people like me. I served and now I see why he got deferments.

He is not used to so much criticism. It is constant and unrelenting because that is just the kind of guy he is. He loves to dish it out but cannot take it even a little bit!

...Repug after Repug, despite being right about Trump.

She loves to play the traditional gender-role card.

as bad an actor, just as much an ignoramus, just as obvious a shallow con man

Ever read "On Bended Knee?"

Now that she's a Grande Dame (*snort*) she's beyond such mundane, money-grubbing concerns and is free to flog the Dead Horse freely, with occasional hints of fumbling plangence.

his pie hole came from her pen

After she left she never pulled back the curtain, a la Stockman

like the one who should have been our president instead of the nasty little boy that is befouling the oval office.

Noonan thinks reagan was a god. Maybe she's just mad that trump didn't hire her for speeches. What kind of woman complains that trump is too womanish.

She is atrocious, and even when she trashing trump, she is the still worse than a broken clock. He hasn't been right twice a day in her life.

ordinarily I can't stand her but she's really on point with this one!

...he's awful because he represents the worst of men.

At the heart of his awfulness is a nauseating entitlement that would be assumed by very few women.

We've seen how the dumb ass acts when members of his administration are portrayed by woman. It's got to infuriate him more to be compared negatively to a woman

Sexist or not, to get under the squatters oh so very thin skin, I'd do it

That is exactly my thought of why Noonan chose to use the imagery of "womanish" (is that a word) because she wanted to make him crazy at the thought of being called "a girl" and negatively to a woman....

Yes, it was designed to get under the phony squatters very thin skin....

I would do it too....

such criticism by a woman is sure to burrow under his saddle. The combination of all this winning this week should have him hanging from the drapes and flinging feces any minute now.😂😂😂

Not that weepy and shrill describe all women of course, but they would not be words used to describe someone who is "manly."

at The Green Parrot, Key West:

She is actually pointing out that for all Trumps tough talk and trying to portray himself as the "ultimate man's man" he actually comes across as a wimpy, whining, sniveling, baby. She is saying that Trump tries to prescribe to the traditional norms of American masculinity, seeing himself as the ultimate alpha male, as he has spent a lifetime of trying to style himself as a "predator" who will fire someone and ruin lives at a moments notice. This was on full display during the campaign when Trump literally, again prescribing to the rules of traditional male dominance, tried to bully and belittle Hillary simply because she was a woman.

Noonan isn't saying that women are weak, or that Trump is acting like a woman. She is saying that Trump isn't half the man he thinks he is. In essence Trump views himself a lot like Putin, difference is Putin - another man who prescribes to the same traditional masculinity as Trump does, is actually not a fake tough guy like Trump is.

... do do practically nothing

Joshua Zeitz @JoshuaMZeitz

. . . It's Team of Rivals, but for morons

and not even partially forgiven Andrew SULLIVAN for his Shrub-worship, so P. NOONER is not even close even while I'll relish whatever she zings at DRUMPF now.

like Rick Wilson and Steve Schmidt

Broflake.

Mockery and name calling from women especially.
Hopefully maggot will become unhinged by 9am.

It's not that he is inexperienced or crude
it's that he is weak and whiny and reminds men of thier first wife ???
His tweets are weak, they are shrill not masculine ?
Must be a female republican perspective

...was "drama queen"! LOL... Peggy would like to get some response from Trump... it would put Peggy in the spotlight. I hope he doesn't respond, so she can continue to try raising his ire.

Glad Nooner dried out long enough to write this.

not cool and tough, not low-key and determined."

I can think of somebody who is!

Link to tweet

Just a year too late. As I recall, Warren called out Trump a long time ago for being a sniveling weakling.

I did not, I did not need a moment of him in office to know that.

This must be one of the seven signs of the apocalypse.



Nevertheless, applause for what she wrote.

for a very long time. Trump may go ballistic when reading this, but I guarantee you she voted for all Republicans. She probably even voted for him or didn't vote for President at all instead of giving Hillary her vote.

So, despite this smack down, she's still a Republican shill and I'll give her no respect.

Most especially considering the source.
