Donald Trump is certainly unique in his approach to political campaigning. He is now matching his puerile insults directed to his rivals with a non-presidential parcel of potty talk ... using the f-word, the p-word, the s-word and who knows how many more guttural utterances. There have been numerous presidents who have brought dignity to this position -- Ronald Reagan, Harry Truman, both George Bush's, Dwight Eisenhower, Jimmy Carter, etc. And there were a few who have sullied this office ... to the point where the fumigators needed to be called in after they left ... you know who they were (one of whom now wants to be the First Husband.)
If The Donald ends up in the White House, perhaps one of the jobs of the Secret Service will be to keep a bar of Fels Naptha soap close at hand.
Afterward: HST was included in the above list ... however, I forgot that one time President Truman referred to "manure" in a speech. A reporter asked Bess Truman if she couldn't get him to say "ferterlizer." She responded that she had only recently got him to say "manure."
