Trump’s Vulgarity Fuels Fascist Project

A new report indicates a significant increase in Donald Trump’s use of profanity, insults, and combative language since his return to power in January 2025. This linguistic coarsening, evidenced by a surge in vulgarity during speeches and social media posts, correlates with an acceleration of his authoritarian political project, which aims to replace democracy with competitive authoritarianism. Trump’s administration is characterized by perceived corruption, racist rhetoric, and a dismissal of democratic norms, suggesting his behavior is structural rather than incidental. This pattern of behavior, combined with his recent interactions with children and dismissive attitude toward global threats, is seen as grooming the public for potentially unthinkable actions and aligning with the core tenets of vulgar political systems.
