摘要：

Presidential candidates' gendered self-presentations may help secure political support, but a 'gendered self' is a construct grounded in an audience's interpretation as much as it is in a politician's performance. The 2016 U.S. presidential election provides a unique opportunity to investigate how voters construct politicians as gendered. Based on pre-election interviews, we analyze how Trump supporters accounted for their allegiance by constructing and valorizing Trump's masculine self-a cultural construct centered on exerting or resisting control. Interviewees (A) praised his politically incorrect spirit, (B) glorified his entrepreneurial spirit, and (C) celebrated his fighting spirit. We argue that understanding how people construct others' gendered selves is important for scholars of both politics and manhood.
