From his Ohio rally:
It made me think of this bit from Letterman:
And then there was this:
I mean, I guess “vegan” is hard to pronounce…
But, of course, none of this is ultimately funny save in the “laugh lest ye cry” kind of way.
I suppose the good news is that none of this is going to motivate voters who have already decided they don’t approve of him. And if you are a voter who finds all of this awesome or, at least, acceptable, you are already in his camp.
Here’s more from a simpler time:

By all accounts, various presidents (eg Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson, and in particular Nixon) were capable of ear-scouring profanity in private.
Similar applies to various British and European leaders.
Prince Philip, being ex-navy, had a bit of a rep for private sweariness, if peeved.
However, they all had the basic sense of decorum and dignity owing to their office not to indulge their inner teenager in public speech.
I wonder which current Western leader, if let off the chain, could likely swear Trump into a frazzle?
Burnham, being a Scouser, perhaps.
Zelensky, quite possibly.
Any given Aussie, obviously.
But my final bet would be on Meloni.
She is Italian, after all. 😉
And has a reputation for not suffering fools gladly.
There’s a joke about Truman where he visits a farm. He asks about what manure is used, when the manure it’s spread, when is the manure collected, etc. He uses the word manure a lot.
Someone in his entourage tells Mrs. Truman perhaps she could get her husband to say fertilizer instead.
“Oh, dear,” Mrs. Truman replies. “If you knew how hard it was to get him to say manure.”
