WHEN IT comes to making a show of manliness(炫耀男子气概), few politicians can match Donald Trump. One day he is swaggering(大摇大摆地走) into a cage-fighting stadium to the tune of Kid Rock's "American Badass". Another day he is shrugging off a third assassination attempt with the observation that only the "most impactful" presidents attract would-be assassins.
说到展现男子气概，几乎没有政治家比得上唐纳德·特朗普。某一天，他大摇大摆地走进笼斗赛场，背景音乐是Kid Rock的《American Badass》；另一天，他无视第三次暗杀企图，并指出只有“最有影响力”的总统才会吸引潜在的暗杀者。
Voters have long thought of Republicans as the "daddy" party (strong on defence, tough on crime) and the Democrats as more maternal(母亲的，母性的) (nurturing the needy, fussing about mean words(对刻薄言语大惊小怪)). Asked which is more the party of men, Americans are almost seven times likelier to say "Republicans" than "Democrats".
选民长期以来认为共和党是“父亲党”（在国防和打击犯罪方面强硬），而民主党更偏向母亲角色（关怀弱者、在意刻薄言语）。当被问及哪个政党更代表男性时，美国人说“共和党”的可能性几乎是说“民主党”的七倍。
Mr Trump has added to this vibe with braggadocious(吹嘘的，自夸的) appeals to the male id(本我（弗洛伊德术语）). On social media he portrays himself as dominant, victorious and humorously transgressive(越界的，突破禁忌的). His administration’s posts blend real footage from the war in Iran with images from video games. In his three runs for office, Mr Trump has always won the male vote and always won overall when his opponent was a woman. A study by Dan Cassino of Fairleigh Dickinson University found that, after voting for Trump in 2024, men actually reported feeling more masculine.(费尔利·迪金森大学的丹·卡西诺的一项研究发现，在2024年投票给特朗普后，男性实际上报告感到更有男子气概。)
特朗普先生通过吹嘘式的呼吁加剧了这种氛围，直接迎合男性的本能。在社交媒体上，他把自己描绘成支配者、胜利者和幽默的越界者。他的行政团队发布的帖子将伊朗战争的实况镜头与视频游戏画面混合在一起。在他三次竞选总统中，特朗普先生总是赢得男性选票，而且当对手是女性时，他总能赢得总胜利。费尔利·迪金森大学的丹·卡西诺的一项研究发现，在2024年投票给特朗普后，男性实际上报告感到更有男子气概。
