A duly earned response to threats by Gen. Qasem Soleimani, President Donald Trump ordered the airstrike that would kill the elite Iranian general responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans.

In contrast, President Barack Obama gave Iran $150 BILLION in assets as part of a nuclear deal, PLUS nearly two billion in cash to release American prisoners.

It should be clear which POTUS has more testicular fortitude.

Like a man, Trump kept his promises to the American people by taking down the terrorist commander. He offers the ideal example of masculinity — responding to threats with necessary force.

Like a Beta, Obama would rather sell out our people. This is a man who rules like a coward.

Predictably, Democrats and leftists managed to defend Iran — including some men who have no idea what it means to be masculine. Black men — who are particularly impacted by homes without a father or father figure — are crying “Toxic Masculinity” on my Facebook wall about how horrible of a leader President Trump is simply for doing what real men should do.

My heart aches because I used to know many more black “men” than I do today, and these “real” men weren’t afraid of any of the following:

• Enlisting in the military and The Draft: By the end of the Civil War, nearly 200,000 black men served in the U.S. Army and Naval forces. Once upon a time, we understood the plight of war. Now we run from the idea of battle. I’m sure some of my beta male friends have never won an argument, much less a fist fight.

• Getting Married and Having Healthy Families: More than 70% of black children are born out of wedlock. Being the head of household is no longer a rite of manhood for the black man.

• Being Community Leaders: More black men are taking a backseat to leading in churches and community civic positions as black women rise to assume those roles. Also, many black women are heads of households and earning degrees.

• Being Masculine at All: Due to the increase of mother-led single families, many black men resort to out-of-control emotionalism learned in the household, and this can result in violent crimes that lead to jail time. This removes black men from the community altogether, which effectively cripples a black society if there ever were one.

President Trump embodies what many black beta men haven’t had in a father — a man who keeps promises, knows when to use force, and doesn’t cash in on cowardice. If we are to take back our nation and assume our role as a global power, masculinity must be our guide. The black community can learn from this; the only way to lead black people out of the downward spiral of economic dependence and societal destruction is to have a strong and forceful man at the helm — one who can’t be swayed by money, emotions, and fear, but leads with wealth, patriotism, and strong values.
