Could there ever be a female Trump?
Rightwing populism isn’t just for men. There are some notable women in this ‘field’, e.g. Le Pen, Weidel, Meloni, etc.
But every time I have the misfortune of catching a speech or interview with Trump, I try to imagine his rhetoric being delivered by a woman. Simply by virtue of how many people voted for the guy you have to (grudgingly) admit, he’s got … ‘charisma’ I guess you would call it.
But could a female politician get away with it? Or is there simply no way the pure uninhibited ridiculousness of the man would ever be accepted if manifested by a woman?
