Laura Ingraham detects Trump's gender fluidity.

ADDED: As you can see a few posts down, I've been reading "John Adams" by David McCullough. After writing this post, I went out for a walk with my audiobook version and was stunned to hear a passage that fit with the topic of a President's gender fluidity. From pages 659-660, about the presidential campaign of 1800:
Not satisfied that the old charges of monarchist and warmonger were sufficient, [the propagandist James] Callender called Adams a “repulsive pedant,” a “gross hypocrite,” and “in his private life, one of the most egregious fools upon the continent.” Adams was “that strange compound of ignorance and ferocity, of deceit and weakness,” a “hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.”

If asked my pronoun is God Emperor.

There is no plural.

If you are referring to a group with me in it then it is the people with the God emperor.

Gender fluidity is a fraud, factual rubbish perpetrated by idiots who cannot define what a woman is. People who promote and defend the mutilation of children. People who are pedophile groomers. President Trump recognizes bovine scatology and calls it out. The left are everything they purport to be against, everything. A bunch of stalinist wannabes. Bugger off.

I wish he had said "My pronoun is Trump, dummy."

As a reflection of his identity, it has the virtue of being accurate on multiple levels.

Gusty Winds said...

Trump has a good sense of some of the ridiculous bullshit weighing down our society.

Pronouns in bios are ridiculous.

I guarantee employers are passing over resumes if pronouns are included. The basically state "I will be and entitled pain the ass, unproductive, and difficult to work with."

The worst are she/her and he/him. It just reinforces the idea you are a follower. A virtue signaler.

Haha! That was funny.

Too much cosmetic surgery. Ingraham is beginning to look like Jocelyn Wildenstein.

That is the true divide we are facing.

If you put those pronoun statements in you resume you are signalling that you want a soft make work job in air conditioning telling other people what to do.

When Elon took over X he fired well more than half the employees.

Most giant corporations are aligned with the government. Google. Apple. Microsoft. Raytheon. etc. They are bloated and absurd, but they are also protected by the government.

These giant corporations and the government employ a massive class of useless Bureaucrats and DEI activists. Guess which gender they hail from.

They all vote Democrat for obvious reasons.

Ingraham has the same annoying habit of talking over her guests as Hannity. I don't watch either of them.

Sometimes he will hold his penis. Sometimes he will massage his wife's breast. Gender fluidity.

Donald was once an ass, who brayed, of course, of course, but now he trumpets to be heard.

Howard said...

That's brilliant. No pronouns at all is the ultimate in fluidity.

Howard said...

Sexual biology is plumbing. Gender is the fluid that flows through the pipes.

Wince said...

My preferred pronoun for some time has been “Dude.”

tim maguire said...

She’s pretending not to know the pronouns of an 80 year old man. But Trump is weird?

In my office, we are encouraged to put our pronouns in our email signatures. The people who do it are all women, mostly HR, and in every case it’s the pronouns you would have guessed if they hadn’t told you.

Dogma and Pony Show said...

Even among trans individuals, isn't it fairly obvious what the pronouns should be? Think about it. You have a guy at your office, Russ, who one day comes in dressed and made up as a woman, and telling everyone his new name is Sheila. Isn't it kind of obvious that "Sheila's" pronouns are she/her? Or let's say Russ is not trans -- he's still Russ, as always. Why should Russ have to declare his pronouns, if there's no ambiguity about his gender identity? The only people for whom this is even theoretically relevant are people who are adopting a genderless or gender-ambiguous identity. This adds up to vanishingly few individuals. Almost all trans people are PRESENTING as either male or female, through their new names, clothes, etc.

Quaestor said...

Trump refuses to own pronouns.

Hallelujah.

People who proclaim "their" pronouns are trying to restrict and constrain the freedom of everyone else.

The vapid veep has claimed ownership of she and her. I see little to choose between the veep and a doorstop, therefore I choose it for that context.

Trump transitioned from a Democratic ass to be reborn as a Republican bull, but he was a conservative from conception by way of Posterity of his American mother and father.

We are me sayeth I approve this message.

It is not an exaggeration to say that we are a Fascist country these days, and I suspect it has long been the case. We are still not QUITE an authoritarian country, just don't be getting out of line or involved in things that are none of your business, like election security...

And most importantly, don't be thinking you can run for the highest office in the country unless you have been vetted and approved by the ruling class. It won't end well for you if you do.

The small company I work for supplies large automotive and heavy equipment OEMs. As you state they are bloated and absurd. I've always claimed 30% of the cost of your automobile is wasted mid-level labor that doesn't produce a damn thing. These people are good at digging holes, just to fill them in. Change for change sake only. Noting to do with efficiency, quality, productivity etc...

And it's worse since COVID, as many value their "work from home" day (or two), more than their actual work.

He refuses to play moronic games. That makes his pro noun strong man.

Kevin said...

Pronouns?

We don't need no stinkin' pronouns.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

They/Them = incorrect grammar.

n.n said...

He doesn't want pronouns. To be fair, who doesn't know him as President, Trump, Donald if you're familiar.

Mason G said...

What is it with interviewers who ask a question and then interrupt the person trying to answer it?

Quaestor said...

"Gender is the fluid that flows through the pipes."

Howard's potable and waste appear to be cross-connected.

rhhardin said...

"I, me."

Big Mike said...

Trump seems to have told his (alleged) feminine side to sit down and shut up when he stood tall and raised his fis shouting “Fight! Fight! Fight!” with blood dripping down the side of his head.

Howard, you need to take a biology course. Badly.

Balfegor said...

I recall reading somewhere (probably the Andrew Roberts biography) that Lord Salisbury's character was sometimes criticised as womanish.

traditionalguy said...

Seriously, all normal competitive folks have various personalities they use as tools to win over people. For example Trump has 14 different clubs for 14 different uses in his golf bag. In fact that is talent needed in our President. I have observed 4 or 5 that our President is skilled at using. Would we want any less from our President.

The question is whether he uses those talents for us or sells it for ChiCom cash and diamonds.

The gender complement of the masculine and feminine would be characterized today as sexist and bigoted, and deemed 50 shades of politically incongruent.

William50 said...

What a stupid question to ask. Did she also ask him boxers or briefs?

David Ermer said...

Be sure to read the new biography of his son John Quincy Adams by Randall Bennett Woods.

NYC JournoList said...

Loved that Trump appeared at the AABJ convention. Refreshing to see a leader take questions from those who hate him. That is the first step to normality nd civility. The second step is for the haters to become self aware. One can hope.

Calling Trump fluid is criminal understatement — the man is fabulous with a capital F.

"Howard, you need to take a biology course. Badly."

It would just make him curl up in a ball and weep, coming so soon after Israel has whacked 3 top dudes across the Middle East that were with organizations that are aligned with the Iranians that Howard's beloved democraticals are fully in bed with.

The next time you write that you'd better use the emoji's for "two snaps up and a circle!"

He’s a womanizer and a fabulous feminine. Riiiight…

A floor wax AND a dessert topping!

At the link, another interviewer leading with a speech badly disguised as a question. Donald Trump sat quietly for the entire speech- err... question (nearly a minute long) before saying anything and was in the middle of his reply when he was interrupted by the "interviewer".

Narr said...

I got so much gender fluid I have to give it away.

Dude [for Harris!], you are voting for the Party that told you Russian Collision was for real, Hunter's laptop wasn't real, and Biden is still smart as a tack. I'm sure you still think they are protecting Democracy by throwing out the Primary.

Aggie said...

Well.... to me both of those examples do not fall into the category of Gender Fluidity, or even close to it. There's an element of androgyny missing from both examples. Gender fluid means the subject is uncertain of their own gender identity, doesn't it, or feels compelled to drift between the two?

I'm quite certain that Trump isn't so driven - to me he's always ready to channel his inner Hun, although he also seems comfortable addressing the more feminine parts of his character, emotionally. I think he's just rejecting the BS. And I'm equally sure that we shouldn't be looking for gender insights on Adams from one of his strongest detractors, who seems quite free with his tendency to cast insults. So.... no.

Deep State Reformer said...

U.S. Vice President Aaron Burr shot and
killed Alexander Hamilton for saying things like that about him. In some respects the old ways were better, no? Lies and slander had real consequences, unlike today.

Kevin said...

Trump’s pronouns can be 45 & 47.

narciso said...

Are these so called journalists rachel scott diatribe doesnt suggest its all about hurt feelings and imaginings about jan 6th seriously

rhhardin said...

A pronoun is an index word, not having a meaning independent of context. "I" is the person speaking or writing in the context of speaking or writing. "He" is the male mentioned before or sometimes afterwards, "she" is the female. To load that with an additional shell that the he may actually be a she etc. makes the pronoun unusable.

rastajenk said...

I read John Adams several years ago. Then I caught the mini-series just last year on Amazon, I guess it was. Good stuff.

But this year I got through Truman. Equally excellent, and probably worthy of a mini-series itself. McCullough is good.

Lazarus said...

The Jacksonians said much the same thing about John Adams's son, John Quincy Adams. Then the Whigs turned the tables and branded Jackson's handpicked successor Martin Van Buren an effete, "used-up" little man, used to fine linens, fine china, and fine silverware, someone far different from the tough frontier general William Henry Harrison who was content with a jug of hard cider (Harrison was actually a descendant of the First Families of Virginia).

James Callender was an equal opportunity propagandist. When Jefferson didn't reward him for his attacks on the Federalists Adams and Hamilton, Callender turned on Jefferson and went public with the Sally Heming's rumors. Callender came to a bad end shortly afterwards. There are lessons there for both flacks and the politicians who employ them.

Trump is as the phrase went "secure enough in his masculinity" to not worry about pronouns. Before gender became fluid, there was getting in touch with one's feminine side and feeling comfortable with it. Animus and anima, yin and yang and all that.
