Scaramucci Sewer Mouth

Day after day the Donald Trump presidency makes me feel filthy. The words from his mouth are filthy; his life is filthy; his tweets are filthy. And now he has filled the post of communications director with a man who, ironically, can only communicate through the language of filth.

Anthony Scaramucci burst onto the president's staff blasting profanity in all directions, as if he were the newly anointed honcho overriding the authority of everyone who had been there for months. This is a man so wild and unhinged that he's making the president look like a beginner.

Perhaps you haven't heard or read of Scaramucci's outbursts to the press. You will, sooner or later, but you won't read them on this blog. Such language makes Trump's "locker room" talk sound almost innocent by comparison. Baby talk.

I never imagined that the bar for ethics and morals could be dropped so low, not even by Trump, who set it so low that even an emaciated snake couldn't squeeze under it. This bar is sunk way low in the mud.

How can anyone work in such a White House without feeling the drag of this morals and ethics black hole?

I have confidence that Donald Trump will eventually be his own undoing. He certainly has a good start on that, no matter how hard he is trying to worm his way out of it. But in the meantime, Americans awake every morning with the knowledge that an ignorant, narcissistic sociopath is putting their country in more and more peril every day that he is in office. And in spite of his promise to make America great, he is dragging her down and making her a laughing stock in other countries around the world.
