President Trump famously texts and posts a great deal. I’m avoiding the word “writes” because most of what he pens is of little value and is meant only to build himself up. After he was banned from Twitter (now called X) he began his own social media platform and posts there. A few days ago on Easter he posted 14 times. In fairness six of them did mention Easter.
But one of them used an obscenity that I’ll let you click on. I’ve often noted that Trump lacks a basic respect for the office of Presidency and this is a good example. The words that a President speaks and writes matter. Not all Presidents have been brilliant or eloquent but they’ve all written words that should be read by future generations.
Now we have a President whose words cannot be reasonably shown to children and should offend people of all ages. When asked about it he defended his words by saying he was making a point.
People use profanity are, simply put, lazy. They use shock value instead of finding words that make their point. There’s an interesting article that shows Trump speaks on about a 4th Grade level.
We should expect more, America.
