Trump's Public Expletives Another Break With Presidential Decorum
Trump, at a political rally Friday night in Lake Charles, Louisiana, declared the Democrats know they cannot beat him next year, “so they’re pursuing an illegal, invalid and unconstitutional bullshit impeachment.”
The previous evening, Trump told supporters at a rally in Minneapolis that 2020 Democratic presidential contender and former Vice President Joe Biden “was only a good vice president because he understood how to kiss (former President) Barack Obama’s ***.”
During the 100-minute event, the president also used the phrase “son of a *****.”
The president’s coarse language has compelled the media establishment to print and broadcast words previously deemed unsuitable for its audiences.
CNN, on October 2, changed its policy following a Trump tweet in which he accused Democrats of “wasting everyone’s time and energy...,” adding a familiar epithet in all capital letters.
Donald J. Trump?@realDonaldTrump
The Do Nothing Democrats should be focused on building up our Country, not wasting everyone’s time and energy on BULLSHIT, which is what they have been doing ever since I got overwhelmingly elected in 2016, 223-306. Get a better candidate this time, you’ll need it!

That was nearly identical to a comment he had made at a political rally in Michigan several months earlier.
“We should show and say it because the President sent it out just that way,” according to a memo sent to CNN’s staff following the widely quoted tweet.
