Your guide to what Trump’s second term for Washington, business and world means
You may have missed the reaction of the British Prime Minister to the news that Israel and Iran had started against each other in the hours that followed on Tuesday morning after their armistice contract. “I want the ceasefire to be continued, and therefore, the earlier we will come back, the better,” said Keir Starrer when he arrived at the NATO summit in the Netherlands on Tuesday.
You almost certainly did not miss the American president. “Basically, we have two countries that fought so long and hard that they don’t know what the hell they do. You understand that?” Donald Trump smoked on reporters on the southern lawn of the White House before turning into microphone-drop fashion to take Marine and start his own journey to gather the other leading leaders in the Hague.
It was coarse, empty and very effective. This was not a tongue slide; This was a clear and deliberate message. “dad”(Hm) was angry and he wanted the world know.
Trump was freed from the usual restrictions of polite political language and showed how significant he had considered the current moment. By showing a real passion and emotion, he brought humanity to a topic that was often treated as if it were more of a chess game of global size than a question of human life and human death. And at a time increased fear of the outbreak of a new World War, he signaled that America should not be called the F ***.
Sure you could point this out Trump card Also don’t know what the Eff is doing and they have a strong point. But in a world of so much attitude, doing and saying the activity, his words seemed to cut through everything.
You can also point out that this was hardly the first time that Trump swore in public, and again they would be right. The President of the Töpfchen-Mund-Mund succeeded in swearing 1,787 times In the first 10 months of 2024 -Open this is if we want to include words with four letters such as “damn” and “hell” as swear words who honestly feel a puritan touch for my British ears. At a single appearance at the conference conference for political action last February, he supposedly swore 44 times. But it seems to have been the first time that Trump used the F-word in his two terms as president in a public speech. In fact, it seems the first time that an American president did this.
The shock he produced was therefore powerful: I even saw positive reactions from them User on bluesky They tend to reflectively criticize what the president says or does. You have to choose the right moment to fall the F bomb. You cannot drop it if you drop it nilly, otherwise your potency will be reduced.
“You can really assert your dominance by swearing, especially if you have the license to swear, but other people don’t have it” To praise the obscenity, Tell me. “It is like his nickname – he can only be addressed as Mr. President, so that it determines this type of power weight.”
Theoretically, of course, other worldwide leaders could follow Trump by indulging in a good piece of expedant statement. But it is not easy to think of many who would dare. And even if this is the case, it may not end up: part of the reason why Trump can get through with it is that it does not feel like a deviation from its colloquial language behind the scenes. He doesn’t look uncomfortable when he swears. Just as he might try to absorb presidential and “elegant” air, and although he was born into privileges, Trump is a threeth, Wheeler dealer, everything New York.
He is also a man who knows what is good for him: According to research, curse offers a real relief of stress, anger and even physical pain. In A study of 2020Psychologists from Keele University asked volunteers to repeat the F-word while they dived their hands in ice-cold water, and found that the pain tolerance was 33 percent increased by the participants who did so. Those who repeated the invented word “Fouch” did not register a higher pain threshold. Somehow the pronouncement of obscenities is enough taboo-saving people that it triggers an aggressive combat or flight mode in the body, increases the heart rate and leads to a soothing, analgesic effect.
Everything Trump really wants is The Nobel Peace Prize But it seems as if others are just not ready to cooperate. So you can understand the man’s frustration. As Capitaine Haddock could say, A thousand million sabords! Sorry my French.
