Traditional masculinity has been a fixture of the Trump administration. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy in January declared that Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz had reviewed President Trump’s medical records and found that he had “the highest testosterone levels that he’s ever seen for an individual over 70.”

These doofuses are so far up Trump’s ass their brains are oxygen deprived.

I don't want my tax dollars going for that.

I would rather they work on eliminating all the environmental toxins that act as hormone disruptors...but many of those companies producing them are big Trump donors.

... you actually believe that testosterone poisoning makes men better soldiers? Are you out of your fucking mind? Or are you just frothing-at-the-mouth evil? I think both apply.
What I find truly obscene is that the entire Republican Party, and you especially, willingly follows in lockstep behind the worst, most most unspeakably vile, psychopath that has ever cheated his way into the Oval Office. The Trump regime is a Confederacy of Dunces, not a single one of whom is, in any way, shape, or form, qualified to hold the the positions they currently defile by their presence.
May each and every one of you brain-dead skidmarks die in prison, alone and despised by everyone who ever had the misfortune to hear your names.
