He doesn't even have a chinless weak jaw. It's perfectly normal. But people mocking him for his chin looking feminine (which it doesn't) is exactly what's going on with the MAGA beard trend.
Every one of these right-wing goons that grows a beard does it to emulate some weird idealized version of masculinity from the "good ol' days" when men were men and women had no rights and gays didn't exist. Between 2016 and 2020, an inordinate number of MAGA dorks all started growing beards, as if on cue. Matt Walsh, the Trump sons, Ben Shapiro, Steven Crowder, Ted Cruz, and a whole bunch of other dipshit podcast bro's, influencers, and politicians all went for the same exact bearded look at around the same time.
The reason they grow the beard isn't to cover up an actual weak chin or feminine jawline, so much as it is to shield against those kinds of accusations, no matter how unfounded (Shapiro is a great example of this). They are compelled to project an image of stoic masculinity because deep down, they are all incredibly fragile and insecure and terrified of anyone perceiving them as anything less than the very definition of manliness, and bullying them for it the way they bully others for it.
When the biggest part of your brand is attacking people for not conforming to gender norms from a century ago, you can't walk around flaunting your luscious DSL's. Better cover that shit up!
