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.

Vulgarity? Now do disgusting drag strip shows in schools.
Certainly that, and calling someone Hitler multiple times daily, is more vulgar than anything Trump has said or done.
It’s like he’s from effing Queens

Watching Yellowstone on a weekly basis.
Like all liberals they demanded that I watch it or I would be terminally out of touch
I decided to watch the first and most recent episodes, as I do with crap
People tell me they ‘just looove’, like the ass minded Harry Potter crapppola
I know Yellowstone is indicative of what people watch. Game of thrones, etc
The vulgarity is out of control. It is pornographic to begin with
How can anyone claim to be living a decent life and be hooked on this smut
How can anyone watch this, claim to love it, then say trump is vulgar.

This should be on NYT rather than hand-wringing about a re-truth.
Fat chance,
What vulgarity?
Nobody cares about the vulgarity. He’s always been that way.
But they do care about abortion, and he’s going to lose if he alienates the pro-life voters. He thinks he’ll win over the pro-abortion voters but there’s no way in he** they’d ever vote for him anyway..

I never heard of that movie. But that picture alone motivated me to look into it, and maybe rent it. After all, who doesn’t like a good gangster parody?
Politics and Politicians are by nature inherently vulgar - that’s the game.
So what’s your point NYT?
He’s pushing child murder and the stalin supporting NYT hears a cussword.
Vance can help with that.
“Trump Keeps Turning Up the Dial on Vulgarity. Will He Alienate the Voters He Needs?”
Meanwhile, democrats keep Turning Up the Dial on Vulgarity. Will They Alienate the Voters They Need?
That’s never discussed by the leftists and resident hand-wringers. Apparently, vulgarity only works one way.

I can’t think of one person who subscribes in paper version of E version. Information is ubiquitous in every newspaper, save a few of them. E magazines and blogs also carry the same propaganda, or subscribe to bare naked journalism for the MAGA crowd.
