Oh, and pictures of handsome women. You know, things that real guys like to read about and watch.

Maxim Magazine’s support of Trump is a bit of a surprise for a media outlet that really hasn’t waded into political waters much. And if they have In recent years it has served to capitalize on some anti-Trump sentiments. They published a column in the days following the J6 protests emphasizing Arnold Schwarzenegger’s insistence that Trump and his supporters were basically Nazis.
Maybe they’ve come to their senses since then.
While Maxim hasn’t commented much on American politics, some of the women (I’m not a biologist, but I’m pretty sure) they’ve featured in their magazine have voiced their support for the former president.
Maxim model Elizabeth Pipko strongly defended former first lady Melania Trump from the media, which constantly attacked her over her husband’s identity.
“I think the fact that people are desperate to prove that … Donald Trump and Republicans in general are bad for women,” Pipko said in a previous interview.
“It is terrible and would never have happened in history. The fact that they are doing it to this first lady just proves how their hatred of Donald Trump is just…changing the way they do business.”
Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kristen Louelle Gaffney also made quite an impression at the Maxim Super Bowl Party last season when she attended the event a glittery clutch purse with the word “MAGA.”
“Trump embraces the American dream, he protects our children and he puts our country first,” said Louelle Gaffney said Fox News at the time.
“We should stop questioning the man who wants to make America great again and start questioning those who question the concept of putting our country and our people first.”
Now Maxim Magazine agrees. And Trump has that on his side, while Harris has Pete Buttigieg and David Hogg at their “Dudes for Harris” and their little Lululemon rallies.
I’ll win Maxim’s ladies over Paternity Pete any day.
