Trump Keeps Turning Up the Dial on Vulgarity. Will He Alienate the Voters He Needs?
The New York Times ^ | Aug. 29, 2024 | Ken Bensinger, Karen Yourish, Michael Gold

Over his decades in the public eye, former President Donald J. Trump has a well-established history of making degrading and racist remarks about women, people of color and pretty much anyone else who crosses his path.

It is a proclivity that dates to his days as a reality television star and that has only expanded in the meme-driven era of social media. In the words of Senator Kevin Cramer, Republican of North Dakota, Mr. Trump is “an equal opportunity offender.”

But in Vice President Kamala Harris, Mr. Trump has found a particularly complicated and risky target for his trademark brand of transgression, as more Americans are suddenly tuning in to what has become a highly competitive race.

Although there are no clear signs that Mr. Trump has increased the quantity of abuse he levels at his opponents, his decision to repost a string of sexually and racially charged broadsides in recent weeks suggests that he has turned up the dial when it comes to pure vulgarity and crudeness.

That eagerness to offend is likely to receive increased scrutiny as the election enters its final stretch. With both major parties battling for female and moderate swing-state voters, Mr. Trump could potentially alienate an undecided audience uncomfortable with his coarse rhetoric.

Yeah, I noticed that too. It took three people to write that propaganda piece.

I did see one NYT article written by six people. Therefore, I must conclude that this current article is faulty. Not enough authors were brought in to check every box.

...former President Donald J. Trump has a well-established history of making degrading and racist remarks about women...

And former President Barak Obama has a weird, well-established fixation on the size of a man's junk...or did these three NOT see the Democrat convention?

Exactly. “Mr. Trump could potentially alienate an undecided audience uncomfortable with his coarse rhetoric.” Why would the NYT warn Trump that he could alienate voters unless he tones it down? Of course the opposite is true. They want Trump to stop calling Kamala comrade Kamala. The want to disarm Trump’s humor and sarcasm because they are effective tools.

Some are clutching pearls, reclining on their fainting couches
because Kamala climbed the political ladder with oral sex skills.


Kamala Harris’ sexual relationship history as we know it:
<><>she was a subordinate in the San Francisco DA’s office,
<><>she started dating Willie Brown, the most powerful man in California politics,
<><>Brown was 31 years older than Harris....and married.
<><>Harris failed the bar exam and is not exactly known for her mastery of the law,
<><>the then DA passed over Harris for promotion
<><>but Willie Brown was instrumental in alienating the existing DA,
<><>Brown was personally involved in raising money for Kanala
<><>Brown was running Harris’ successful campaign to get elected DA
<><>DA Harris let a number of Willie Brown’s friends off as they faced serious charges
<><>one egregious case who skated was a city contractor (a Willie Brown donor)
<><>the Brown donor defrauded taxpayers
<><>he used cheaper, recycled concrete to build bridges and other structures.

This was all reported in detail by local S/Francisco media when it happened. Harris abased herself personally and engaged in political corruption at the behest of a man who advanced her political career.
