So the President of the United States of America is railing against this article, "The Most Unmanly President" - lots of good points like, you know, treatment of women, but I'll go one step further. 44 steps further, to be exact. Thus, STEP 1: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1265466874583711758
#1 George Washington: "The right wing, where I stood, was exposed to and received all the enemy's fire ... I heard the bullets whistle, and, believe me, there is something charming in the sound." This is his quote on STARTING A WORLD WAR IN 1754
#2 John Adams: Although against them politically, he defended the British Soldiers who committed the Boston Massacre because to him - and society - rule of law was more important than mob rule.
#3 Thomas Jefferson: He donated his library to start The Library of Congress. Real men read.
#4 James Madison: Drafted the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, protecting Christians, Jews, Muslims, and Hindus.
#5 James Monroe: Dropped out of college to join the Revolution (to the Revolution!); didn't get a doctor's note.
#6 John Quincy Adams: argued in favor for rebellious Africans, illegally kidnapped into slavery, in US v. Schooner Amistad. He won.
#8 Martin Van Buren: Didn't speak English. Learned it. Became President.
#9 William Henry Harrison: Died quickly.
#10 John Tyler: actually never got impeached (although should've. But didn't. MANLY).
#11 James K. Polk: Might actually be less manly because he sucked, but at least he backed up his claims on the whole Mexico thing.
#12 Zachary Taylor: "more a forgettable president than a failed one." Still more manly.
#13 Millard Fillmore: Born in New York. Died in New York. Buried in New York. That's pretty manly, and 2 more than the subject of the above article.
#14 Franklin Pierce: It was said of him "General Pierce is a damned coward." At least he saw military service.
#15 James Buchanan: Defeated, wasn't part of the Know-Nothings.
#16 Abraham Lincoln: EVERYTHING HE DID WAS MANLIER THAN THAT. EVERYTHING. LITERALLY FROM HIS BIRTH THROUGH HIS MORAL FIBER TO DEATH EVERYTHING.
#18 Ulysses S. Grant: See his Reconstruction record on why I omitted #17.
#19 Rutherford B. Hayes: 5x wounded Major General.
#20 James A. Garfield: OK. There's a real lot to say about Garfield. He should be on coins & bills. Civil War, Radical Republican Reconstructionist, didn't even WANT to be nominated President. Please watch the @PBS #AmericanExperience Murder of a President on him.
#21 Chester A. Arthur: Ugh. I guess he's manlier because of Die Hard With A Vengeance mentions. Barely. (Chinese Exclusion Act. Fucker).
#22 Grover Cleveland: See #24
#23 Benjamin Harrison: Three Words: SHERMAN. ANTITRUST. ACT. Dude stood up to robber barons.
#24 Grover Cleveland: See #22
#25 William McKinley: Started the Civil War as a private. Ended as a brevet major. No bone spurs in sight.
#26 Theodore Roosevelt: Do I need to prove who is more manly? Big animal-killing imperialist cavalry-charging notwithstanding, he was a proto-environmentalist and when he lost his wife & mother, he wrote this - grieving is manly - in his journal:
