I find President Trump neither shocking nor vulgar, but he generally speaking proves to be right on a number of issues with the passage of time. Trump is animated, frank, pleasantly honest and genuine, uninhibited by the straightjacket of ‘political correctness’, and other attributes, but shocking and vulgar he is not. That is the illusion the media painted on Trump. Now Zero on the otherhand was/is both of those things in spades and a lot more.
Bear in mind this was written two years ago before anyone was accustomed to Trump’s persona. He might have seemed vulgar (locker room humor) and shocking (un-PC).
