“Frankly My Dear, I Don’t Give a Fuck”

A Brief History of the End of Decorum

Once upon a time, in the mythic land of Presidential Gravitas, our great leaders uttered words that stirred the soul, inspired the nation, and made schoolchildren recite them with hand over heart and a lump in the throat:

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”
“Ask not what your country can do for you...”

and now, this:

“They don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.”

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that is not a leaked Hot Mic moment. That is the President of the United States speaking on live fucking television, with the full gravitas of a man slamming Diet Coke while rage-tweeting from the toilet.

The Fuckening of America™

What Clark Gable did in a movie with "damn", Donald Trump has done in presidential rhetoric with "fuck"

Now, on the dark side of Mount Rushmore, the stone-cold face of Abe Lincoln just muttered, “Are You fuckin’ kidding me.”

Lyndon Johnson may have dropped a few “goddamns” behind closed doors, and Nixon certainly swore like a sailor in the Oval Office, but they at least pretended to have shame. Now, we’ve got front-row seats to: “Fuck It: Presidential Edition.”

Is There a Bottom?

Unclear. We’ve tried to find it, but the floor keeps collapsing. Every new “unprecedented moment” is just a down escalator to hell with no emergency stop button. We thought the “pussy-grabbing” was the low point. Then came “inject bleach” Now — we're at “fuck” in the Rose Garden.

“We stand by the President’s language,” said the Crucifix-Wearing and Sickeningly Sanctimonious Secretary: “Frankly, Americans are tired of the bullshit. This is just refreshingly authentic” And so it is. Trump being Trump.

Conclusion: Who the Fuck Knows?

We are living in a post-decorum age. The bar is not just low—it’s six feet under, buried next to the Fairness Doctrine and Common Decency. But maybe, just maybe, this is the clarifying moment we needed. Because when the emperor is not only naked but yelling “fuck you” while goose-stepping through the ruins, it becomes awfully hard to pretend we’re still at a garden party.

And so we ask, in the spirit of civility and public discourse:

What the actual fuck, America?

God bless, or whatever…
