Young male voters are flocking to Trump - but he doesn't have their interests at heart | Steven Greenhouse

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

73% : Trump has made two big promises to make your life more affordable.
61% : Many young people complain about their mountains of student debt.
51% : But when you cut through Trump's tough talk and look at the record, it becomes clear that Trump did very little for young men in his four years as president.
49% : But among young men, a majority - 53% - plan to vote for Trump, while 40% say they'll support Harris, according to a New York Times/Sienna College poll.
48% : But all this raises an unavoidable question: should Trump be looked to as an icon of manhood considering that he boasted of grabbing women's genitals, was found liable for sexual assault and had an affair with an adult film star soon after his wife gave birth?
48% : If you're a young father or if you hope to have a family someday, you should know that Harris's policies will do far more for you than Trump's.
46% : But I'm mystified why so many young men back Trump.
41% : Trump isn't an icon of positive masculinity.
41% : Unlike Trump, Harris will help with soaring rents and home prices.
38% : Whoops, I should note that if you're a young man making more than $1m a year, Trump did do a lot for you, thanks to his colossal tax cuts for the richest 1%.
36% : What's more, Trump backed huge cuts in student aid - a move that would make it harder for young people to afford college.
34% : What's more, repealing Obamacare will push up healthcare prices.
34% : Trump doesn't have similar pro-family policies - his main policy proposals are huge tax cuts for corporations and the ultra-rich and large tariffs on imports that will dangerously push up inflation.
34% : Harris doesn't talk as tough as Trump, but her record and her policies make undeniably clear that she will do far more for America's young men and women than Trump will.
33% : But for the more than 99% of young men who don't make $1m a year, sorry, Trump didn't do diddly for you, other than cut your taxes a wee bit, a tiny fraction of the tax cuts that he gave to the richest Americans.
31% : He has repeatedly promised to repeal Obamacare.
24% : Trump won't help on that; he has condemned the idea of forgiving student loans.
22% : Unlike Trump, Harris is also attacking the problem of high grocery prices - she has promised to crack down on price-gouging at the supermarket.
20% : On those matters, Trump will only make things worse.
