27. Everyone knows there is private

Mar 2019

behind closed doors speech where Presidents, Nixon and LBJ come to mind, may freely unleash streams of profanity. Then, there is before the cameras speech, where it has long been expected that decorum will prevail.

Trump is simply a crude moron who doesn't understand the difference and shows zero respect for the office he is privileged to hold.

What's truly frightening is that the media has managed to normalize his behavior rather than shining a spotlight on just what an unhinged aberration it is.
