IF “toxic masculinity,” to borrow a phrase from the opposition, is the display of unprovoked aggression, then Trump has had a week of it.

Issuing a sudden ban on travel from a country that has not been responsible for terrorist acts in America (Iran); conjuring the phony script of 9/11 that has already dragged us into unnecessary war; justifying the detention of a five-year-old boy at an airport; overseeing drone strikes in Yemen that killed innocent people, including children, and supporting the aggression there by Saudi Arabia; engaging in outright war-mongering against a nation with which we have concluded a non-aggression pact (Iran)?

Trump better get his act together. He’s looking like a bully. This isn’t what those who voted for him wanted, especially those who were alarmed by Hillary’s war-mongering. Let nationalists not be fooled by his talk or actions against abortion. Real men don’t pick fights.
