President Trump on Tuesday emphatically dropped an f-bomb, on camera, expressing frustration that Israel and Iran appeared to be violating the ceasefire that he just celebrated going into effect.
"We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f*** they're doing," Trump said to reporters as he left the White House.

I’m very pro-Trump, but using language like this is a sign of weakness.
“using language like this is a sign of weakness.”
Any chance you’re a veteran or a mechanic?
“True, but shouldn’t our politicians conform to higher standards of discourse then Dems?”
The occasional profanity is appropriate.
Or expected.
In the Army, I learned the F-bomb, was a verb, noun, adjective, adverb, expletive, and place marker, both complimentary and derogatory.
Frequently in the same sentence.
“I don’t give a f-—. You f—ing, f—ers, f—ing, get f—g going, right f— now, you f—wits. F—k!”
And that was just the CO warming up and in a good mood.
“When I joined the army, I scolded my roommates about their cursing all the time”
My dad was in the Navy (stateside) in WWII. His basic rule was that if you hit your thumb with a hammer you can say whatever you want. Also he taught me the meaning of TARFU, SNAFU, FUBAR.
What shocks me more is that NPR still exists.
The media has a very selective memory.
We didn’t hear about it when VP Biden dropped the F-bomb on a live mic when talking to bo. So Dems need to STFU.
More leftist lies.
W Bush called some reporter on a hot mic a fing idiot. Cheney said “Big Time”.
Fox News had a softball game between employees and one side called their team Bog Time.
Same. Noun, verb, adjective, pronoun, adverb... All in one sentence...
Semper Fi.
I think I read that the funding cut for PBS/NPR is in the senate omnibus bill. That is a non-filibuster bill. Straight up / straight down. Spending bills are hard to vote against when you’re in the minority, so maybe PBS/NPR goes down. It’s either that, or get blamed for a government shutdown.
Normalizing the use of this word (and other vulgarities) in public discourse is indicative of how far our culture has fallen. When I was an enlisted man in the Navy - an organization not especially known for polite language - we were directed not to swear around officers or WAVEs. That was a long time ago so maybe things have changed.
Some funny movie I saw decades ago called them “Fargin Bastiches”. Was not X rated.
Congress is full of fargin bastiches.
Movie Johnny Dangerously called them “fargin iceholese”
Trump doesnt give a 7()$& about the MSM why not say what you think?
