While I can appreciate the occasional crude expletive, I see no point in making obscenity two-thirds of a statement. I know that Trump's crude remarks to Billy Bush were described as locker room jests, reasonable people know they were no such thing. Using language effectively and in more subtle ways will always have staying power. That's why we remember some of Churchill's bons mots while Trump's kindergarten phrasing will disappear.
That's why I share the theme of a description about Anthony Scaramucci from The Guardian. Paraphrasing that writer--he described Scaramucci's press conference yesterday as akin to watching a drunken frat party before the projectile vomiting starts.
