I would say "shithole" is his greatest legacy, but we still have over three years for Trump to come up with something worse.

is being very widely used without any censorship on the major TV news networks right now. I’m not suggesting that the media has never printed nor referenced “verboten” words before. They have, but not quite like this.

I was watching CNN’s Anderson Cooper yesterday, when he flat out said to a panel that since the president used that word, so could the panel.

Anyway, I appreciate your interesting citations. I do understand your point too.
