At a Pennsylvania Rally, Trump Descends to New Levels of Vulgarity.

The G.O.P. nominee repeated crude insults, and his supporters relished each moment. But the display could alienate swing voters.

'Former President Donald J. Trump on Saturday spewed crude and vulgar remarks at a rally in Pennsylvania that included an off-color remark about a famous golfer’s penis size and a coarse insult about Vice President Kamala Harris. . .

It comes as some of Mr. Trump’s allies and aides worry that Mr. Trump’s temperament and crass style are alienating undecided voters.

It was unclear if the outbursts and insults were an expression of his frustration as the campaign grinds on or of his reflexive desire to entertain his crowds. At her own events on Saturday, Ms. Harris called attention to Mr. Trump’s temperament and his tendency to “go off script and ramble.” . .

His monologue culminated in lewd remarks about the size of Mr. Palmer’s penis. Moments later, Mr. Trump gave the crowd an opportunity to call out a profanity. He went on to use that four-letter word to describe Ms. Harris.

“Such a horrible four years,” Mr. Trump said, referring to the Biden-Harris administration, as he surveyed the crowd of hundreds of people in front of him. “We had a horrible — think of the — everything they touch turns to —.” . .

Minutes later, Mr. Trump urged his supporters to vote, telling them that they had to send a crude message to Ms. Harris: “We can’t stand you, you’re a shit vice president.” >>>'

He says regularly. Who is the we, and who is the you? He’s never quite differentiated between Americans and Democrats. He hates all of us just like Putin does. His hatred for Americans is what he really has in common with the Russian dictator. Never said one bad word against Putin.

My mom would see these "speeches." If anything turns her off from watching anything, it's profanity. One word is enough.
