A Question About Words and Wording
Since he took office, the media has made some rather stunning and troubling revelations about Trump’s character and fitness for office.
Had certain terminology been used to describe Trump throughout his career and during the course of his campaign, it could be argued that many voters may well have sought to cast their ballots differently.
The media avoided accurately describing who and what Trump is, leaving the articulation of his personal profile and narrative up to corrupt and self dealing campaign staffers and advisors.
So, here’s the question:
Exactly when did Trump become the liar, the fraud, the predatory sex offender, the con man, the bigot, and the racist, among other things as negative and heinous, the media seems readily able to identify today ?

Almost certainly before he was 17.

Wolfman, had the media been accurately describing Trump and calling him out re fact checking his lies, fabrications, and frauds instead of dodging the truth about him with platitudes and euphemisms since he was 17, he wouldn’t be where he is now.

What we couldn’t believe during the election was that anyone would vote for him knowing this already. We knew it, it had all been reported in public.

By this question, did you mean when did he actually develop into these behaviors, or when did we start referring to him in this unvarnished way?

” …when did we (the media) start referring to him in this unvarnished way?”
The question refers to the ‘mainstream media’ developing the collective courage to accurately describe exactly who and what Trump is.
