That immature definition of manliness makes it look like he does not actually feel good at all, to me.

"Manliness seems to be all that Trump aspires to: and he defines it almost exclusively as cruelty. Both on the international stage and on the domestic one, Trump and the crowd of racist, misogynist and endlessly immature idiots who surround him will stop at nothing to prove what men they are – no matter how much America suffers, or how many people die, in the process. At the meeting, when Zelenskky tried to persuade Trump to feel differently about the prospect of Russian expansion, Trump cut him off. 'Don’t tell us what we’re going to feel,' he said. 'We’re going to feel very good. We’re going to feel very good and very strong.' Maybe he does."
