Donald Trump drops the f-bomb, I fear people will like it

This is one of those cases where I think we might just be acting a bit elite expressing shock at Donald Trumps repeated use of the f-word the other day.

First off, it was clearly intentional.  He figured it helped him with that audience, and a larger audience.  And he might be right.  I've heard people back in the Midwest this past week talking about how Trump was standing up to those Arab oil countries, and good for him, they said.  And I can't help admitting, I agreed with him.  Not that we should invade, but that we should tell them they'd better not increase the price of oil.  We saved Kuwait's behind, and Saudi Arabia's.  They owe us, to their dying days.  The least we should have gotten out of the deal was eternally low oil prices for the US.

Let me reiterate: Kuwait would be a province of Saddam Hussein's Iraq right now if we hadn't invaded.  Saddam would have executed the entire Kuwaiti ruling class.  They owe us their literal lives.  And the next stop would have been Saudi Arabia.  I'm not feeling a lot of oil love from either country.

Don't underestimate America's populist leanings.  Trump is clearly playing to them.  And while he's a bit coarse the way he's going about it, and a bit racist at times as well, I think some of it resonates with actual normal people.
