Potty mouth: What President Trump and Rod Dreher have in common

The president's profanity is the subject of a recent article:


Rod Dreher has been on a tear with his own profanity this summer in his Twitter feed:

6/20: Somehow, the damn things fit!
6/22: Watch Tucker Carlson give John Bolton and others hell.
6/25: This guy is a first-class bullshitter.
6/25: Not a damn thing playing that an actual adult would want to see.
6/25: Stop tasing him! Goddamn!
6/27: Retweet: "the most batshit idea the Dems have come up with".
7/05: hell of a writer
7/08: hell of a writer
7/09: I had these for a starter. Savory walnut paste is pretty damn great.
7/09: Retweet: Perfect response: "I am so sick of this shit".
7/11: There's just too damn much weather in Louisiana.
7/23: You damn right that Gina Schock was the sexiest Go-Go!
7/24: And these Jesuit dipshits have the gall to publish this.
8/04: This is true: none of us has a damn clue how we're supposed to respond.
8/07: What the hell?
8/10: Every damn US Senator should co-sign.

I think the evangelicals would call this habit speech a sign of being unredeemed.

Others might chalk it up to being unintelligent, or intellectually lazy. Trump is the former, Dreher the latter.
