Adams has shared on his blog and elsewhere that men may feel emasculated by the nomination of a female candidate for president . Of the 2016 Democratic National Convention , he said the following : " If you 're an undecided voter , and male , you 're seeing something different . You 're seeing a celebration that your role in society is permanently diminished . And it 's happening in an impressive venue that was , in all likelihood , designed and built mostly by men . " Adams said that he temporarily endorsed Hillary Clinton purely out of fear for his own life , stating he had received direct and indirect death threats ( " Where I live , in California , it is not safe to be seen as supportive of anything Trump says or does . So I fixed that . " ) . In late September , however , Adams officially switched his endorsement from Clinton to Trump . Among his primary reasons for the switch were his respect for Trump 's persuasion skills over Clinton 's , Clinton 's proposal to raise the inheritance tax to 65 % , and his concerns over Clinton 's health . Adams states that writing about Donald Trump ended his speaking career and reduced his income by about 40 %
