Lest anyone had missed the plot line, he is claiming the powers of a full-blown dictator for himself with this www.nytimes.com/2025/07/12/u...

What do you do when the president drops an f-bomb? - Poynter President Donald Trump said it. Loud and live. Now editors have to decide how much of it you get to hear or read.

To answer the question in the headline: You quote him, period. It is not our job, nor is it appropriate, to protect the reading and listening public from the vulgarity of this president. I’m dismayed that this is even a newsroom debate in 2025.

Good morning.

Let’s carve out those breaks today.

So great to see you, Kate.

Thank you, Benjamin.

‘Hamilton’ Cancels Kennedy Center Run Over Trump’s Takeover “We’re not going to be a part of it while it is the Trump Kennedy Center,” said its creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda.

“This latest action by Trump means it’s not the Kennedy Center as we knew it. The Kennedy Center was not created in this spirit, and we’re not going to be a part of it while it is the Trump Kennedy Center. We’re just not going to be part of it.”
