Which means, as it has at some rallies, that Trump is more than willing to swear to emphasize his points. Over the course of his time on Twitter, including in some cases after he announced his presidential candidacy, Trump has tweeted or retweeted profanity on his account more than 100 times.
Before we continue, we will demurely note that The Washington Post tends not to use a lot of cussing on its pages. For kicks, we’ve changed the four swear words we looked at into names. The word beginning with an F is “Frank.” The one beginning with an S is “Sam.” The three-letter word starting with A becomes “Alex,” and the longer, seven-letter variant thereof, “Alexander.” We are not 10, but if any 10-year-olds read this, their innocent sensibilities will be spared (in case there is some 10-year-old who doesn’t know the f-word).
Comparing the use of those words among the top presidential contenders, Trump is far-and-away the victor.
