If it did, I must have been away from the computer for that nanosecond.

It's rude, crude and unnecessary .

Nope...I watched that video and I actually agree with everything he had to say.

I swear like a sailor sometimes and the F word does not offend me at all. I've heard every possible cuss word out there being in the Military.

It does not bother me

I don't think the people who are offended are offended because they can't handle hearing the F word. I think it has to do more with the fact that it's a bit different when a guy who wants to run for president says it. It's not exactly sitting around a fire with your buddies having a few beers, or even gossiping about your coworkers in the mail room. It's a guy giving a public speech, who wants to be taken seriously enough to be considered for presidency. I think it's more the lack of judgment people are offended by, not the word itself.

Though I have to admit, after watching a few clips of the Apprentice, I can't believe anyone takes this guy seriously.

The Apprentice gives so much to good causes.

That is VERY serious.

Have you ever watched the insults, vulgar language, and just in general toilet humor that goes on on the Apprentice?

Why is it a shocker that Trump dropped a few F bombs?

I was shocked to find one of my favorite actors and heroes of mine joining right in with the tasteless humor.

I highly recommend watching this with the volume on mute and the closed captions on. (Not just cause of the language--because the audio is annoying and has a lot of screechy sounds.)

Trump was never really in the race as a serious candidate, but do like his knowledge of economic issues. This kind of language has always been a class marker, so he is a loser. Even though the culture has become very coarse, and this kind of language is mainstream to many, there is still a large element of society who will not tolerate his "indulgence" of terms. His lack of judgment here is telling and he is out IMO. Added to that is the hair disaster which he still has not corrected. Does his BimboWife have no influence with him?

I don't think you answered the question? No one asked what we would think if Obama dropped the F word, the question was, do you care if Trump did?

good post, good reasoning. Do I care if Trump used it? It isn't going to keep me from supporting him if I decide to (not likely) but I so think it is unacceptable anyone who thinks such words should be part of everyone's language appears to be pretty classless in my opinion.
