Republicans like House Speaker Mike Johnson who fret about America’s moral decline need look no further than their Dear Leader, 34 time convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser and now President Trump, as Prime Example #1 for the moral decline of the country.
Speaking to a gaggle of reporters about hostilities between Israel and Iran in front of the White House this morning, Trump said,
“We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard, they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.”
In 2024, the New York Times analyzed Trump’s speech and found he spoke at the level of a 4th grader. While lots of American families struggle with their children dropping the F-bomb, and many web sites and social media posts try counsel parents on how to discourage the behavior, but now the problem is about go out of control as kids can now point to the Republican president and say, “But Mom, the president of the United States does it!”
Whatever might have possessed them to do it, Mesa County residents voted for Trump in the November, 2024 election by a margin of 60.96% to 36.65% who voted for Kamala Harris. Harris, by contrast, has exhibited a far more adult command of language, actual statesmanship and far more decorum in her public speaking and would have set a far better example as a national leader.
Trump sets a terrible example for the United States on the world stage in so many ways. This is just one more truly awful way he is embarrassing Americans and dragging the country down.
I think Trump’s description of the situation between Iran and Israel was accurate and very even handed.
He’s certainly not the only politician/president who has ever said f*ck.
The guy hasn’t slept for days and is trying to do the impossible. Now he’s at a NATO meeting and he’s managed to get nations to increase their contribution to 5%.
What a jerk.
Honestly, Anne – nothing that he says, or posts, or does these days, can make me proud to have him as the leader of our country. He manages to sink lower with every passing day. There has never been anyone in the White House who is less “presidential” or “statesman-like” – what an embarrassment to both the office and to our former world leadership . . .
I’d have a leader who swore like a sailor, could keep their fly zipped, and who had some awareness that others had needs, as opposed to only meeting their (the leader’s) needs.*
*a brief attribute of sociopaths and narcissists.
Of course, some readers blame Democratic elites for having forced Americans to vote for trump, but they’re wrong.
