For President Donald Trump, “hot” isn’t just a compliment — it’s an ethos.

Sydney Sweeney is the “HOTTEST. ” Taylor Swift is “NO LONGER HOT,” the president proclaimed in a series of posts last summer on Truth Social, the hottest social media app, no doubt.

“Hot” is why women of the MAGA movement seek out Mar-a-Lago Face, why the men lean hard into spray tans, and why Trump himself fawns over the pilots of Air Force One.

“These guys are specimens,” he said during a 2024 interview with Joe Rogan. “They’re better looking than Tom Cruise ... Like, perfect specimens.”

Hotness is next to godliness for MAGA. Given the fixation, it’s no surprise that being the “hotter” political party has become another way of “owning the libs”: Earlier this month, Katie Miller, a political advisor and the wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, tweeted a survey suggesting that 60% of “extremely liberal” men are childless.
