Single MAGA Women Complain That D.C.'s Conservative Dating Scene Lacks 'Masculine' Men—And We're Cackling
But the left can't in theory bear responsibility for the "death" of traditional masculinity—a ridiculous notion in and of itself—given that MAGA women who spoke with reporters say they're not at all inspired by the MAGA men around them.
According to Morgan Housley, who was among several right-wing women who lamented to the Washington Post the challenges of dating in Washington, D.C., the dating pool remains sparse despite the number of young MAGA loyalists working in the administration.
The majority of D.C.'s residents voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris in the last election and Housely said it doesn't help that the MAGA men who are available are:
"Not fit, workaholics and not taking finding a wife seriously.”
She added:
“I felt like, being in conservative politics, there would be more, like, masculine men in the conservative movement, and I find that a lot of them aren’t as masculine as I would have hoped.”
Quite the confession.
The Washington Post
Meanwhile, a MAGA woman named Natalie Winters told the New York Times that the guys she’s met actually aren't into women at all:
“The funny thing is, I had a lot of girlfriends who wanted to move here,” she said. “They thought the dating scene would be really great, that MAGA would bring in a whole wave of, like, you know, eligible, conservative, smart, enterprising men.”
"Everybody's freaking gay."
Oh dear.
And people couldn't help but crack jokes.
The dating pool in D.C. also suffers because liberals largely refuse to date people they believe support fascism—and could have supported or even attended the January 6 insurrection, the day a mob of President Donald Trump's supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on the false premise the election was stolen.
Susan Trombetti, CEO of Exclusive Matchmaking, noted:
“I have a really open guy, and they’re like, ‘What? He’s a Republican?’ And automatically they go to: ‘Did he go to the insurrection? Did he attend the insurrection?’”
(Fascist) actions have consequences.

South Korea's President Just Presented Trump With A Massive Gold Crown—And Everyone Had The Same Response
In Japan, Trump's behavior at a welcome ceremony with the country's first female Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, went viral across social media, causing the White House's Rapid Response account to lash out on X.
In addition to commentary on Trump’s cognitive decline, the internet and foreign press were abuzz with stories of foreign leaders manipulating an overly vain and insecure Trump through flattery and shiny gifts—a weakness American business leaders have also been accused of exploiting.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt bragged that Prime Minister Takaichi would nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump has been desperate to receive the honor since his first presidential term, and he claimed in 2019 that former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe also nominated him for the prize.
Glittery golden gifts awaited when Trump landed in South Korea to meet with President Lee Jae Myung on Wednesday.
Air Force One was greeted on the tarmac by a South Korean military band playing a rendition of the Village People’s hit "YMCA"—a Trump favorite. A 21-gun salute was also fired off.
The South Korean leader later presented Trump the Grand Order of Mugunghwa—Korea's highest honor reserved for heads of state—and a replica of the Gold Crown from Cheonmachong during their luncheon at the Gyeongju National Museum.

According to The Korea Herald, the crown is a "specially gilded replica of the Gold Crown from Cheonmachong, a Silla Kingdom (57 BC- AD 935) artifact considered to be the tallest, widest and most ornate of Korea’s surviving ancient crowns. Crafted by cultural heritage specialist Kim Jin-bae, the replica is intended to represent leadership and dignity."
Trump's latest golden gift is being met with more mockery than dignity on social media.

Trump's last item on his Asian tour itinerary is a sit down with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The White House hasn't disclosed whether Trump plans to wear his new crown for the meeting.
