    Hefner created the template that Trump followed, pushing the boundaries of what privileged blokes could show, touch, have.

        On his deathbed Hefner was probably thinking “if I was only 20 yrs younger, I could’ve been President?”

        Certainly both pushed a vision of glamour and masculinity that is entitled, tasteless, and fundamentally immature.

        Clearly Ari wasn't around in the 50s 60s and 70s when privileged white men did whatever they wanted.

        Trump the Politician, no, but Trump the Cultural Figure, I think yes. He followed the path of the misogynists before him. Disagree?

        Well yeah Trump is an asshole, so was Heff. I am not sure a deeper analysis gets us anywhere.

        So diversity is only good if it is not white, male, straight and sexual? I really think there is a lot of heterophobia out there.

        I agree he is a template. He did what other powerful men of the era did, but he flaunted it. Publicity + priveldge - morals =Hefner/Trump..

        Yes #HughHefner changed the morality constraints of the rich & famous by objectifying young women's bodies for profit-god bless America!

        White men of privilege don't need a template for what boundary to push, just an opportunity. Trump would still be Trump without Hef

        Hefner actually was a gay rights supporter since the mid 1950s, a long time advocate of reproductive and press/free speech rights...

        Hef tried to project the image of 'glamour' in having wealth and what he wanted. Trump has always been about showing he gets what he wants.
