HuffPost surveys the Trump administration's habit of public profanity, from the president's own frequent use of the f-word on Truth Social and in interviews to JD Vance calling certain jobs ‘bullshit' and communications director Steven Cheung calling Jimmy Kimmel a ‘shit human' on X. Political scientists interviewed say this differs from past presidents' private cursing, like Biden's hot-mic ‘big fucking deal' or Johnson's known temper, because Trump's team has made profanity a deliberate public communication tool rather than an accident.

Experts describe it as tapping into political rage as ‘a personal political weapon,' arguing that outrage now signals authenticity to a base that rewards vitriol. One scholar traces a lineage to 19th-century partisan pamphleteering, while noting that actual profanity, as opposed to personal attacks, was rarer then than now.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
Calling a talk-show host names on a federal government account used to be the kind of thing that got a press secretary a stern memo. Now it's the memo. If cursing in public is the strategy, the strategy is just 'be rude and call it strength,' which is not exactly a five-alarm insight requiring a professor to explain.
