Regarding the letter to the editor printed Nov. 11, 2025, titled “The new norm.”
If you think about it, there is the realization that before 2016 ill thoughts and profanity were not nearly as bad as what they have developed into currently. During the 2016 Republican primary debate, it’s too bad Jeb Bush did not know how to answer such a bully as Trump. Trump’s whole attitude was filled with vitriol overflowing.
No one in the lineup of the Republican primary knew how to answer the venom Trump spewed or even stand up—let alone defend themselves. They could not explain issues in the way of the usual decent banter that debates somewhat had. Yes, there was profanity before 2016, but not nearly as bad as it is now. Your president has made it a whole lot worse by an evil, always critical nonstop tongue lashing of minorities, women, certain groups of people, and “s-hole countries” (his words)—to name only a few of his disgusting adjectives.
I quote from the article of Nov. 11: “If the profane, obscene, and vulgar language were removed from” … (I did not quote the rest of his sentence.) But if profanity, etc., were removed from Trump’s four-letter diatribe, I don’t believe he would be able to speak a word.
I quote from the article again: “Using loud, profane, vulgar language is the only way such a ‘small mind’ can express itself.”
I truly agree with the person who wrote this letter to the editor regarding such a small mind.
