    If so, why?

    The best argument that I can imagine for Trump as a role model is some type of machiavellian (that term is wholly misused by the way) approach where people dismiss his statements, his actions, and his personal behavior because of the "results" that he supposedly obtains. His personal moral failings get dismissed because he was not elected to be a pastor. His ethical failings get dismissed because he has obtained financial and political success. His norm-altering behavior and actions get dismissed because people wanted to see something different.

    But do you encourage that behavior from your son or daughter?

    I have a very young son and I hope that he will never learn to think of Donald Trump as a role model.

    Well first of all you say daughter of course no normal person wants their daughter to behave like a man.

    But we have had an epidemic of submissive, "nice" beta males raised by single mothers and a feminine based educational system and media. This is not the kind of men who will have what it takes to fight back against the cosmopolitan internationalist elites who want <see my signature below>.

    So, would Donald Trump have been a good role model 70 years ago? The answer is no because it was a different time, with different enemies and the threat from America's enemies (foreign and domestic) were not zeroing in on the American people like they are today.

    America's men need to toughen up and they need to toughen up fast if they wish to hold onto their republic. And yes that means being a little rough around the edges at times.

    Donald Trump is the right role model at the right time for America's young (and grown) men.

    Setting aside that behaviors of role models can and should transcend gender roles...you appear to be saying that Trump is a desirable role model because you want to encourage young men to engage in behavior that is aggressive, misogynistic, bullying, and to never apologize for that behavior. And all of that because you think that behavior is necessary to protect America from "enemies."

    My fear is that you are creating a whole new series of enemies from within. The individuals who engage in that type of behavior are also much more likely to attack other Americans, especially those that they deem to be weaker, like females.

    Misogynist is a fake made up term by marxists. Same with racist. No one actually hates women and no one serious actually thinks their race is superior to another.

    More of the typical tricks by the globalists.

    So, you think Melania is a good role model too! After all she's just a girl and should be submissive and tolerant of humiliation.

    Right, people want to oppress women because they love them and Nazis totally don’t believe whites are superior.

    I think the way she's been conducting herself as first lady is absolutely the perfect role model for young women. Submissive, supportive of her husband, lets her husband lead, doesn't swear or use bad language, is the direct feminine opposite to her masculine husband.

    LOL ... yeah, Riser, an old obese draft dodger who hates exercise and loves junk food is a great role model for the masses of overweight, out-of-shape men in this country...

    Celebrities are role models again? so soon after #MeToo?

    Speaking of role models, Bill Clinton and his lawyers taught millions of children that blowjobs are not sex. Hillary Clinton taught millions of girls that it's perfectly acceptable to stay with your cheating, rapey boyfriend if it will help your career or social standing.

    Here's the problem with everything you are saying. Donald Trump isn't tough. His actions are what scared, craven people do. They talk tough where they can't be held accountable (like on these forums for example) and then in reality, cow tow and offer up pleasantries. That's what he does. He can't fire anyone because he's afraid of the confrontation.

    People who are something, don't proclaim over and over that they are that thing. Donald Trump is not someone I want my son or daughter to model most of their behavior after. He's not someone I model my behavior after. To each their own.

    That's not the topic. Role models are probably best not found in the celebrity realm anyway. But the OP asked about Donald Trump. I noticed you offered no thoughts on him.

    This is the language of someone who isn't a leader. Someone who themselves is submissive and needs their partner to be more submissive. Someone who is not confident in themselves. So for you, Donald Trump is when the angry, coward wins the day. No wonder you find him a role model. I take the opposite approach. When a woman, including my wife, challenges me, I listen, consider, reflect about their words concerning me as honestly as I can, and then either accept or reject based on what I've heard. I don't expect submission simply because i have a penis.

    What makes women great is their feminine qualities and allure.

    Rob that from them and there's nothing left. The left wing hate women because they want to take from them their very nature which makes them feel whole.

    Stop interferring with thousands of years of human evolution.

    Wait! This thread is about how Trump is going to affect children, yet we have a prime example of how the alt-left affected children.

    19th century slave owners may not have hated their slaves....but that made no difference to the slaves and the fact they were treated like animals and had no rights.

    Sexism IS slavery...it attempts to restrict rights based on sex.

    "Women" are not a race, they are human beings who should have the right to act any way they choose, not in some misogynist's idea of how they should act.

    This is an absurd question.

    Parents can be role models, so can good teachers, community leaders, religious leaders...

    Politicians, lawyers, billionaires, celebrities can never and should never be role models.

    The irony that the question is coming from a proud member of the party of the Clintons, the Weinsteins, the Kenedys is inescapable though.

    No, rob women of their right to be whatever and whomever they want to be and THEN there is nothing left...(but frightened little men who have to stereotype women so they feel safe)

    Bill Clinton was a far better role model. I remember thinking when he wagged his finger at us on the teevee, “I know where that finger has been.”

    I always get a kick out of 17 yos who have opinions. It's cute. Its like watching a Disney movie. Except, at least you know the Disney movie will ultimately end.... And you just have to love the bent toward autocratic tyranny here. "Like if your old as$ parents blah blah blah, take it away from them, "... Seems to be about the right amount of smug, entitlement there. Also, do we really want someone who is so unabashedly hostile be the banner behind which timid liberals are willing to line up behind? Fun to watch for sure.

    He is a PERFECT role model for righties.....they worship everything about him from cheating people out of money to hiring hookers (cheating on his wife (wives) ), lying, stirring up hate, bullying....they seem to love it all and must want their children to be the same..
