Origins Of Profanity and Potty Mouth President Trump


Have you noticed President Donald Trump has taken to using more CURSE/SWEAR words as we approach 2026 mid-term elections. Can this be orchestrated? Of course, EVERYTHING Trump DOES is orchestrated. But why CURSE/SWEAR WORDS? Well, there MUST be a demographic of voters who enjoy such; maybe more than you think. Seems like SCIENCE favors potty mouths.

Swear words come from old cultural taboos. People originally used them to break social rules about religion, body functions, and sex. Over time, words that were once normal turned into bad words because society decided they were dirty or disrespectful.

Religious Oaths Old roots: Long ago, people believed that using God's name or holy things casually could bring bad luck or break a sacred promise. Examples: Phrases like "zounds" (short for "God's wounds") and "gadzooks" (from "God's hooks") started as shocking ways to invoke holy items. 
Body Functions and Sex Old English words: Words like shit and arse (buttocks) have been around for over 1,000 years. They were normal farming or medical terms in early Germanic and Old English. Class shifts: After the Normans conquered England in 1066, the upper class spoke French while regular people spoke English. The old English words for natural bodily functions became labeled as "vulgar" or low-class.
How Meanings Change Most users on Reddit agree that a word only becomes a swear word when society puts a strong social taboo on the topic it represents. As culture shifts, the power of these words changes too—some old religious curses are now mild, while other types of harsh language become more offensive. 
Trump frequently incorporates words like "bullshit," "shit," "hell," and "damn" into his public rallies, live television appearances, and social media posts. While previous presidents like Richard Nixon or Lyndon B. Johnson were famously recorded cussing in private or on secret white house tapes, Trump is historically unique for regularly utilizing explicit and crude language openly in public view as a deliberate part of his political style. Supporters often view this combative language as a sign of authenticity and directness, while critics point to it as a departure from the traditional decorum of the presidency. 
People use swear words because they trigger an emotional and physical response in the body, helping humans cope with pain, release stress, and express intense feelings. Unlike normal language processed in the brain's cortex, profanity taps into older, primitive survival systems. Fight-or-flight response: Cursing activates the sympathetic nervous system, increasing heart rate and adrenaline. Pain tolerance: Repeating a curse word helps people keep hands in ice-cold water longer through stress-induced analgesia. Burst of strength: Uttering taboo words can temporarily increase physical power and grip strength during intense effort.
Swear words originate from Brain Mechanics and EmotionLimbic system processing: Cognitive scientists note a consensus on Reddit that taboo words are tied to the basal ganglia and limbic system rather than just logical speech areas. Automatic speech: Stroke patients who lose standard speech control can often still swear fluently because emotional outbursts use separate pathways. 
When I began this writing, I wanted to point to the use of swear words as undignified by a sitting president. People react to swearing in very different ways. Some people fel shocked or disrespected, while others see it as a normal way to show real feelings. How someone reacts depends a lot on the setting, who is speaking, and the words used. At Trump rallies, the crowd CHEERS whenever the president uses profane language. To others, his choice of words are not fitting, especially when children are exposed to such language. The curse words are intended for his followers who DO seem to enjoy it. Hey, when you LIKE aperson they can do no WRONG. When you DISLIKE a person, they can do no RIGHT. Remember Obama?
I'm in the negative reaction group. Offense and Discomfort: Some people feel hurt or annoyed. They may view swearing as rude, disrespectful, or a sign of bad manners. Judgment of Intelligence: A few people assume that someone who curses has a small vocabulary or lacks formal education. Moral Disapproval: People with strong religious or traditional values often link swearing to sin or a lack of self-control. Setting Boundaries: If the language makes them uncomfortable, users on Facebook reach a consensus that listeners will politely ask the person to stop or they will walk away from the conversation. 
People at Trump rallies seem to fall in the catagory of positive feeling when curse words are used. Perceived Honesty: Many people feel that swearing shows a person is being real and honest. They think the speaker is sharing true feelings without hiding behind fake politeness. Social Bonding: Among friends, casual swearing can build trust, warmth, and a sense of humor. Empathy for Stress: If someone gets hurt or angry, listeners usually understand the curse word as a natural release for pain or frustration. 
I had an agenda of writing people who use curse words are unintelligent. I was quite surprised to read differently. Scientific studies show that people who use swear words tend to be more verbally fluent, more honest, and more extraverted. Contrary to old stereotypes, research links frequent cursing with a larger overall vocabulary, higher intellectual fluency, and authentic emotional expression rather than a lack of education. SHOCKING HUH? Wait! There's more!
People with larger vocabularies: Studies show that fluency in generating taboo words correlates with high verbal fluency. People who know more curse words actually tend to score higher on overall vocabulary and verbal intelligence tests. Quick thinkers: Using taboo words on command requires cognitive flexibility and social awareness. Personality and Social Traits are More honest and authentic: Psychological research links profanity with higher personal integrity. People who swear frequently are often less likely to engage in major deceit or filtered lying. Extraverted individuals: Swearing is positively tied to extraversion and an outgoing nature. It is also common in Type A personalities who express high energy or urgency. Lower in agreeableness or conformity: People who swear are often less concerned with strict social conformity, traditional politeness, or religious constraints. Well, we know Trump does not have ANY religious constraints. Like he said, he doubts he goes to heaven. 
Back to the problem of swearing and children. Parents often wonder if this behavior is normal and how they should respond to it. Our data show that swearing emerges by age two and becomes adult-like by ages 11 or 12. By the time children enter school, they have a working vocabulary of 30-40 offensive words (I don't even know that many!). We have yet to determine what children know about the meanings of the words they use. We do know that younger children are likely to use milder offensive words than older children and adults, whose lexica may include more strongly offensive terms and words with more nuanced social and cultural meanings. We are currently collecting data to better understand the development of the child’s swearing lexicon. Evidently, Donald Trump ISN'T the only one swearing around children. 
So, after looking up information on SWEARING, I have come to the conclusion, I DON'T LIKE IT FROM MY PRESIDENT. Science has said there is no harm or foul when it comes to swearing as long as the context isn't to harm, abuse, intimidate, discriminate and all the other bad 'ates'. For some it's distasteful for others it's just expression and humor. But it LOOKS bad to me. 
BOTTOM LINE: Using profanity was traditionally considered unpresidential and kept behind closed doors, but it has become increasingly normalized in modern politics. Recent studies show that a vast majority of recorded public swear words by U.S. presidents have occurred in the last decade, driven largely by figures like Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Past commanders-in-chief—including Abraham Lincoln, Richard Nixon, and Lyndon B. Johnson—frequently used coarse language in private, but "the F-word" and heavy vulgarity were almost never uttered on camera or in official public remarks.
Public Reception
  • The Split: While supporters often view profanity as a sign of strength, transparency, or being "real", critics and etiquette experts argue it lowers the standard of public discourse and appears undignified. 
  • Voter Views: Polling indicates that a substantial majority of Americans still believe elected officials should avoid heated, aggressive, or vulgar speech.

If God Heals, Why Hospitals Full Of Christians?


Okay, calm down. This is a case of don't kill/shoot the messenger. This is NOT my QUESTION at all, but a meme posted on Facebook. I said to myself, "What the hay. Answer the question as I believe." I know. Who would even engage? A person who loves answering questions, lol. 

The meme said, " If Christians say that God can heal, why are the hospitals filled with suffering Christians?" What a question!  Many Christians would become offended and walk away or rebuke such a nasty meme even if it was on a hilarious things page. "No Christian likes for God to be mocked," they would say. The truth may be they cannot answer the question with sound reasoning. So offense shows up instead of ANSWERING A QUESTION. I know nobobdy was expecting seriousnees on a hilarious site.

1 Peter 3:15: "But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." (NIV).

I try not to run and PRAY to be GENTLE and RESPECTFUL. I'd be honored if you prayed that for me too. So, I hope every Christian is prepared to answer some TOUGH questions about God, religion, Christianity, and Jesus during these chaotic times in America and abroad. Many are getting baptized and coming to Christ and the kindom. They have questions. Tough questions. So practice on Facebook pages lol.

As I wrote my reasons, I began to notice, the Christian faith is really Philosophy. Meditating and finding answers. My Master Degree in Religion is under, PHILOSOPHY. I was shocked too. But my answers were more philosophical than FACTUAL. Here we go. 

Christians are examples of God's word lived out on Earth. Through us, he tries to get us to examine the condition of our souls daily. People dislike God for how he has wrath and kills innocents in wars. Human suffering also makes people question God. How can there be a rational answer? It is when you look as man as an instrument of God's who willingly signed up for the assignment to be CHRISTLIKE. People see people through the Christian. Philosophical, but that's wher faith and hope live.

The primary verses for imitating Christ and acting as His ambassadors are found in the letters of the Apostle Paul. They define the Christian identity, calling believers to represent heaven's Kingdom and embody Christ's love. The Main Verses:
  • Imitating Christ: 1 Corinthians 11:1 states, "Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ" (NIV). Similarly, Ephesians 5:1 urges believers to, "Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children" (NIV). This concept involves living a life that reflects the character, love, and righteousness of Jesus. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  • Ambassadors for Christ: 2 Corinthians 5:20 declares, "We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God" (NIV). An ambassador serves as an official representative sent by a higher authority to a foreign land, tasked with delivering the King's message of peace and reconciliation.

    The ENTIRE BIBLE reflects this and Christians are PUNISHED for WRONG ambassordorship. Back to sick and Christians dying painful death. We all have the promise of death regardless of religion or non religion. Death matters. It changes the person, the more suffering either there is more blame or self reflection. Death shows the heart of the family, friends, community. Maybe the unanswered pray of healing is because viewing suffering changes people and the seemingly MARTYRED Christian whose prayers went unanswered for healing changed more lives in their death for the kingdom than while alive. Onlookers may choose the opposite and began doing things out of pain agaist God and Christianity.

Suffering also allows those who say they hate suffering to HELP end it. Christians should be all over it. But, sadly more churches show the opposite and now say vile things about them and advocate to let them die. God's grace is always saying CHANGE, follow the Bible's command of love. He gives a chance to be better constantly sometimes close, right in our faces, and we mostly fail. The instrument malfunctions at times. 

So, the meme asked something PROFOUND. Something Philosophers meditate about day and night, search for answers no matter how many years, knowing there IS an answer. If God said it, why doesn't it happen for EVERY Christian? Can there be a logical reason for the belief found in the Bible? They would meditate day and night for an answer, search for years. Luckily, it's ALL in the pages of the Bible, but people CHOOSE what they read and INTERPRET it by personal experience as we do all other things in life. God isn't confusing. People are. They LAY the Bible on THEMSELVES, instead of layig the Bible on themselves. YOU on GOD, not God on you. This is an one on one growth in Christianity. Not OUTSIDE of Christianity.

The Book of Job explains that God gets a person's attention primarily through dreams and adversity. When people ignore subtle guidance, God uses these methods to warn them, correct their pride, and save them from making destructive mistakes. The specific ways God speaks are outlined mainly by Job’s friend Elihu in chapters 33 and 36.
In Job 33, a young man named Elihu explains that God speaks "once, yes twice" to get a person's attention and keep them from pride. The specific "three ways" he outlines—including literally putting a person on their back with sickness—are detailed below: 
1. Dreams and Night Visions. God speaks when a person is resting and less distracted. 
  • The Bible says: "In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men... Then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction" (Job 33:15–16).
  • The Purpose: To turn people away from bad behavior and hide pride from them. 
2. Physical Affliction (Putting Them on Their Back)
If the first method fails, God uses severe illness—pain that keeps a person "chastened... on his bed"—to force them to stop and consider their ways.
  • The Purpose: To humble individuals and prevent their souls from going to the "pit" (death). 
3. A Divine Messenger (Mediator)
Finally, God may use an angel or messenger to guide a person toward righteousness, leading to restoration and grace, as noted in Job 33:29-30. Ths may be the ULTIMATE answer, a biblical ANSWER, not philosophically.
I know the person probably didn't want any SERIOUSNESS on his FUN page. I guess I'm that person, but I did laugh. I can't help I'm serious. I didn't write Scriptures or anything this long. That's why I'm writting about it here. But that is a LOGICAL question many people have. That's why "healing" is funny to non Christians, new in Christ, and the babes in Christ no matter how long they have been saved. I hope people at least do like the philosophers do. Meditate, seek truth, and go to the source of the BELIEF, the BIBLE and search how can any one believe in praying for healing. Not selected verses, but the Bible.
FAITH is one part of the armor of God Christians put on for battle which we are i every day where God asks us to TRUST him with EVERYTHING because he WANTS GOOD for Christians. It is the SHEILD, it PROTECTS from the enemies arrows. Enemies are those in Satan's army. We don't get to say who they are, but we have faith in God that they are real and our FAITH in Him and His word, unseen are TRUE.
