You've got to wonder if Trump's obsession with other guys' JUNK and repeated attempts to break into the NFL is somehow related to him being a pussy.

Donald Trump’s reason for quitting football mocked as ‘soft,’ ‘racist’ on social media

Donald Trump and the MAGA movement have been big on claims of masculinity, but the former president’s recent explanation as to why he gave up football … well, he would have been better off blaming it on bone spurs.
Trump was asked about his gridiron prowess on a recent appearance on the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast and his explanation hasn’t been getting him very many man points on social media.
So what did he say?
“I didn’t like (football),” Trump said. “I played tight … tight end. I could catch the ball good, but I didn’t particularly like having some guy who was lifting weights all day long and came from a bad neighborhood and he sees me … they were tackling hard.”
Aside from not getting tackled hard not being exactly the most masculine of answers there, the whole bad neighborhood thing was labeled by many as a racist “dog whistle.”
Combine the two, and it was an answer Trump probably wishes he could have a do-over on because he is getting absolutely clowned on social media.
Among his most vocal critics was popular Florida-based rapper Plies, who posted a video on X about it.
“Whoever think this (expletive) right here is a tough man, or an alpha, all you who think this (expletive) right here tough, they just asked this (expletive) right here, Mr. Mashed Potato, that’s what I call him, Mr. Mashed Potato, they just asked Mr. Mashed Potato did he ever play (expletive) football,” the rapper said while cackling. “He said, ‘Yeah, I used to play tight end.’
“And they asked him why he stopped playing,” he continued. “That (expletive) said because he did not like being tackled by the kids that came from the bad neighborhoods.”
Plies continued to laugh while repeating Trump’s answer.

“Because they used to tackle him too hard,” he said before breaking down in laughter again. “You soft (expletive). You soft. Aye, find this right here, and show this to your kids, and ask your kids do they want an (expletive) running the country who quit playing football because they were tackling him too hard.”
The rapper began to, somehow, laugh even harder before playing the clip on his phone.
“(Expletive) you lying,” he said. “You didn’t play tight end.
“This (expletive) (expletive) said he stopped playing because they were tackling too hard,” he added. “You an (expletive) (expletive).”
“THIS IS IT!” former NBA player Rex Chapman wrote while reposting the podcast clip on X. “His wealth couldn’t protect him from being roughed up on the football field.
“Softest American president in history.”
“Trump tells tow morons on @BussinWTB that he didn’t like playing football because he didn’t want to get tackled by ‘some guy … from a bad neighborhood,’ aka … a Black guy.”
“So Trump didn’t like playing football cause he wasn’t good, was too overweight to be a receiver, and was too racist to play against black people that could beat him,” Ian Hest wrote on X.
There were plenty more digs like that at the former president on Elon Musk’s social media platform.
Trump tends to notice these things and address them, so it will be interesting to see if he has a rebuttal to the jokes being made at his expense and the racist dog whistle accusations.
