The line from both the left and right against President Trump in his dealings with Russian President Putin is that he’s “weak.”
Recently, after Putin expelled diplomats in response to hysterical sanctions against Russia passed by Congress against Trump’s will, Trump joked that now he doesn’t have to pay these employees.
Even if Putin was an enemy, this is absolutely the most masculine, in-control response he could have given.
RT:
Donald Trump’s quip that he should thank Russian President Vladimir Putin for expelling diplomats because of the payroll savings has prompted a lot of hand-wringing among the US diplomat community.
“I’m very thankful that he let go of a large number of people because now we have a smaller payroll,” the president joked on Thursday.
“There’s no real reason for them to go back,” Trump continued. “I greatly appreciate the fact that they’ve been able to cut our payroll for the United States. We’ll save a lot of money.”
The joke has not gone down well in some quarters, though, with former diplomats in particular failing to see the funny side and strongly condemning the remarks.
Former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul took distinct umbrage at the gag, unleashing a scathing barrage of tweets.
Here’s what he wrote.
Imagine dissing Americans –patriots serving our country under difficult conditions in Russia -to praise Putin. Our president did today. https://t.co/KovoLuMISa

This is very symptomatic of our entire cultural paradigm.
As things stand, femininity is hailed as strength, and masculinity as weakness.
So those attacking Russia and attacking the way Trump deals with Russia are demanding absolute histrionics and hysteria. They fly into fits of emotionally-charged rage, and expect that Trump should do the same – and they claim that not doing so is “weakness.”
In fact, strength is characterized by calm. Joking in the face of a threat, remaining cool, is always a sign of strength.
Think of the most masculine men you’ve ever known. Perhaps your grandfather, perhaps some cool-headed boxer. What is notable about the way they present themselves is that they remain cool. There is a type of calm and peace about them.
Also, if you’ve ever known someone taking anabolic steroids, you know that their behavior is marked by a zen-like calm, rather than agitation.
Being calm and smirking in the face of threats has always been universally recognized as strength, something to be emulated by boys as they learn how to become men.
Kindness as well as politeness are masculine virtues. That does not mean being pushed around. Masculine men react to being pushed around with direct action, not hysterical flailing. And they don’t start trouble where there isn’t any. They stop trouble when someone else starts it.
Vladimir Putin has not started any trouble, so Donald Trump has no reason to treat him with anything other than kindness. If Putin had started trouble, Trump would have no reason to react with exaggerated outrage and threats, he would have reason for a decisive action-oriented response.
That is what masculinity is, that is what strength is: calm, kind behavior when there isn’t a problem, decisive, direct action when there is one.
Before I knew Trump was actually going to go full-nationalism-populism on his campaign, I supported him simply because he called Mexicans rapists and because he represented white masculinity. A symbol of white masculinity is an extremely powerful thing.
When Putin and Trump met one another, what you saw was all smiles, jokes, shoulder patting and so on. No attempt by one to dominate the other. This is a sign that both men were entirely comfortable with one another, there was mutual respect, there was no need for aggression. Body language professionals admitted exactly this.
Compare that to Trump’s interactions with Emmanuel Macron, where Macron felt the need to attempt to be threatening, and Trump was then forced to slap him down by taking control of the situation.
Watch after Macron had passive-aggressively attempted to deny Trump a handshake what Trump did when he finally got a hold of his hand.
He pulled Macron’s body to his own, to show physical dominance of him – because he had been disrespected, rather than treated with kindness, as is appropriate for men to do with one another. While doing that aggressive motion, he also kept a full, bright smile on his face.
It’s an important life lesson that deserves more than this small bit of commentary, but young men should remember that rude aggressiveness is NOT a sign of strength, but very much the opposite.
It goes without saying that the masculine traits are also the ones women respond most to. Calmness is the most sexually appealing behavioral trait to a woman.
