Interesting Times with Ross Douthat

The ‘Empty Suit’ of Trump’s Masculinity

Listen Later

Former President Donald J. Trump’s appearance at a U.F.C. match this week seems to be part of a larger strategy to attract men — especially young men — to his cause. But what can President Biden do to change the narrative that “the left doesn’t like men”?

This week, Michelle Cottle and Carlos Lozada are joined by their (male) Opinion colleagues Jamelle Bouie and David French to debate why men are becoming more conservative and whether Trump’s masculine appeal is about policy or his “manliness.”

(A full transcript of this episode will be available within 24 hours of publication on the Times website.)

  • “Audience of One: Trump, Television and the Fracturing of America” by James Poniewozik
  • “American Sniper” directed by Clint Eastwood
  • May 2024 Times/Siena poll of the presidential battlegrounds
