This guy isn't some liberal loon, he's a Never Trump Republican (former). And according to the article, masculinity is honor, bravery, respecting women and being stoic. He complains that Trump doesn't pay his workers, brags too much, disrespects women and that he talks too much. All of this is true. However, the idea that rural workers would somehow think it's wrong for Trump to swagger is absurd. They don't talk shit because they know they haven't earned it. We can all see that Trump has earned it.
