Social Media Mocks Trump's Wimpy Excuse For Why He Hated Playing Football

Donald Trump is reportedly trying to earn votes by emphasizing his masculinity, but he’s being mocked as a wimp after admitting the reason he didn’t like playing football as a kid.

During an appearance on the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast on Tuesday, the former president took great pains to explain why he wasn’t fond of playing football ― and threw in a few racist dog whistles while doing so.

“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.”

-snip-

Considering conservative surrogates like Charlie Kirk are claiming “you’re not a man” unless you vote for Trump, many people on social media were amused to hear about the former president’s fear of being tackled.

-- Scared to be tackled
-- Foot problems kept him out of Vietnam
-- Scared to do 2nd debate with VP Harris
-- thin-skinned and always getting "hurt" by people telling him the truth. Lashes out like a little child.

What else??? I know I'm missing a few.

He's "all hat and no cattle"
