Don't forget obscene. Amazing how Trump shatters all norms on obscenity while posing as a devout Christian.
(I know, the Trumpies will play what-aboutism, and there is a selective tradition of Presidential obscenity in our history:
Abraham Lincoln, second inaugural: "Some will say, in the fast grip of passion, indict the motherfuckers, throw them in the hole, but I say we will bind up the nation's wounds with malice toward none."
Wm. Howard Taft, at a campaign stop in Paducah, KY, in 1908: "You all know my wife, Nellie. Nellie, come up here. We met at a party in 18 and 80, and before the evening concluded, I moved on her like a bitch."
FDR, after Pearl Harbor: "Yesterday - December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy, the United States was suddenly and deliberately attacked by a shithole country, really a piece of floating garbage in the Eastern sea."
Harry S. Truman, announcing the use of the A-bomb: "The force from which the sun draws its power has been used to bomb the shit out of those who brought war to the Far East."
Ronald Reagan, 1980 debate with Fritz Mondale: "I won't criticize my opponent's youth and inexperience. But shucks, he was a shit vice president, wouldn't you agree?"
But it is evident that those uses of obscene language were highly strategic and were used to deal with crisis events -- well, except for Taft.)
Trump is milking the "garbage" comments for all its worth...
