But Wait, Who Or What Is A “Family Man?”
It’s a narrative that gets co-opted often by people who aren’t actually “family”-oriented.
I have paid approximately 14 seconds of attention to whatever current Trump legal thing is going on, but I did see this column recently about Trump and the idea of “a family man.”
Basically, the op-ed there is discussing how Trump and his lawyers frame him as a “family man,” even though he was sleeping with porn stars while Melania was pregnant with Barron. Cool. I myself wouldn’t call that “a family man,” but I understand why his lawyers are trying to do that. I don’t receive Trump campaign emails (although weirdly I have gotten a few), but there’s apparently a series of emails now where he tells his supporters that the court system is forcing him to miss Barron’s HS graduation. He’s so upset about it, because, you see, he’s a family man. But when the judge let him off for that day, he decided to not only attend the graduation — but also go to Minnesota for a fundraiser. Ha. Family man.
