His interview with influencer Adin Ross earlier this week is part of a broader effort to answer Kamala Harris’s nomination with an unabashed courtship of too-online misogynists.
UFC head Dana White, the wife beater, is “a fighter.” North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un is “very tough,” while China’s Xi Jinping is “strong.” Elon Musk, the transphobe who has turned X into a megaphone for bigotry, is a “genius.” So said Donald Trump during his 75-minute livestreamed interview with Adin Ross, the 23-year-old gamer and influencer.
The adjectives and verbs for all of the women they discussed were very different. Kamala Harris was said to be “weak” and “stupid,” Nancy Pelosi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were “crazy,” and AOC was described as “ranting” and “screaming.” And, of course, there was that appellation Trump applies to every woman—most famously to Hillary Clinton in their final debate in 2016—who doesn’t supplicate herself before him: “nasty.”
In other words, the interview was vintage Trump—the latest of a million-plus examples proving that, no matter how many smarmy advisers and gullible political reporters insist otherwise, he is incapable of changing who he is for political expediency. He’s an out-and-proud misogynist who intends to appeal to closeted misogynists—and no one should be happier about that fact than Kamala Harris.
Was this the dude who sniffed Trump’s seat after the interview?

What an awful day to have eyes.
Yet, it’s transfixing…
Oh my god it’s you again with the same cursed image
I was hoping we’d meet again! It’s a different ‘drag tuck’, tho’!
Goddamnit I didn’t believe you and looked. And goddamnit it is
Ew.
That guy probably has some sort of undiscovered bacterial infection in his nasal cavity now.
I think there was another guy who interviewed this guy and then ran over to sniff the seat when he stepped out of the room. Saw the video here last week. I didn’t know either of them, but it looked like a joke.
I’m sure it was a joke. That doesn’t change the fact that he got a lung full of whatever Tate ate for breakfast that morning on camera.
A tossed salad?

As a weird and lonely guy, how the fuck can you hate women? At least assuming they are straight I guess? Although I havent met gay dudes that didn’t belong to at least one group of girlfriends.
Like I get that the group doesn’t do logic, but if you hate women, how the fuck do you expect them to like you?
I’m lonely because I’m insecure. They’re lonely because they hate the thing they want.
It’s like they were never loved as children or something
Women are objects to them. Disobedient little objects that refuse to give men what they need and rightfully deserve. Their dads had a woman that did all the things while getting almost nothing in return, and they expect the same.
I used to be in this camp. It’s a combination of crushing loneliness and sexual frustration. Your self hatred just escalates until someone tells you that women are actually the problem because it’s their fault for not sleeping with you. They have the solution to all your problems and they won’t give it to you because they’re cruel. Generalizing and hating women feels better than hating yourself, plus it requires no self reflection.
how the fuck do you expect them to like you?
Many of them have given up on this entirely. At the more extreme end they straight up want women to be pressured or forced to be with them whether they like them or not.
The want to have women, not love them. They (erroneously) think that’s the solution to their loneliness.
It’s like they were never loved as children or something
Yeah. That happens a lot. Even if their family did love them not all parents are good at communicating that.
Until very recently the relationships between men and women were not based on liking each other, but on social function.
Culture changed VERY fast in the west in the last 4-5 generations, but not at the same rate everywhere, this is sort of a culture clash.
As a former weird lonely guy who was (and sometimes still is) insecure: just do it. Go out, go plaves, bars, clubs, or maybe just conventions about your favorite hobbies. Just walk up to a girl, smile, say hi, and start a convert. You don’t need to end up in bed or romantically involved, just have conversations, about the weather for all I care. You’ll find that it’s not that scary, they are probably just as scary and lonely as you, and each subsequent conversation gets easier.
You’ll get a few bad experiences for sure, just et them go, don’t be a creep, but soon you’ll get to know this girl you talked to a few times, you like her, and now it will be so much easier to just ask her out.
weirdo felon trump realises his base is mostly incels
Ohhhhh…They think every woman who’s not dating them is staying home with their cat.
only a matter of time until trump and maga start screeching “gEt RiD oF wOmEnS sUfFrAgE,” since it’ll be women who destroy him the most on election day
I think Thiel already wrote an essay about that.
https://time.com/4529800/donald-trump-women-voters-2/
The movement slightly pays homage to Silicon Valley billionaire (and Trump supporter) Peter Thiel, who wrote in 2009 that giving women the right to vote was bad for democracy: “Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women—two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians—have rendered the notion of ‘capitalist democracy’ into an oxymoron.”
I wonder if Peter Thiel is that type who’s gay not because he loves men, but because he hates women…
That’s not at all how it works…
It’s partially a joke, but there is non-negligible subsection of privileged gay men who believe than any form of femininity is beneath them, to the point of misogyny. They believe that trans women, femme presenting NBs, and even femme leaning cis gay men are lesser than them. Hence the joke among the queer community that “they hate women more than they like men”.
Reading Peter Thiel’s essay, it certainly seems to reflect the mentality of those types of people I’ve interacted with IRL. Fortunately they are drowned out by the rest of the queer community.
gee, who would have ever guessed women’s right to vote would be bad for a party that wants to oppress women
True, but plenty of men are vehemently against trump as well, like myself! Proudly!
The women are going to win this for Kamala though. I wonder why they used to not let them vote…
it wasn’t until the 70s that women could open their own bank account without a man’s name attached
Watch this, you see others talking about how this guy I guess literally rubs his face into the assholes of other weird, hateful bigots like himself, but more importantly, using this weak person, who is obviously developmentally impaired, as a political prop is clearly abuse. Like I’m fairly sure somebody dresses this kid in the morning and has to wipe for him after he goes to the toilet.
As a group, do these guys vote? I’m thinking in very low numbers.
Whatever proportion of them that do vote will vote for Trump specifically because of the “grab them by the pussy” comment.
I still remember when everyone was talking about this to show Trump fans what a piece of shit he is. How naive we were back then, I think you’re right that him saying that just made the crazies love him more.
Most of adin’s viewers aren’t even old enough to vote.

He knows they vote for him.
When in doubt Trump leans hard into his total weirdness.
Probably doesn’t help calling them names like “weird”. Everyone deserves empathy.
Fastest and fastest supporting chair sniffer.
