Thursday, June 26, 2025 - Donald Trump made history on Tuesday, June 24 as the first U.S. president to intentionally use the F-word on live television, telling reporters that Israel and Iran “have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f*** they’re doing.”
His remarks came in response to reports that Iran violated a
newly announced ceasefire agreement just hours after it was brokered.
While Trump is the first to publicly drop the F-bomb during a
live press event, he's far from the first American president to use profanity —
and has a well-documented history of controversial language.
Trump joins a long line of presidents caught cursing
including his immediate predecessor.
In January 2022, President Joe Biden was caught on a hot mic
calling Fox News reporter Peter Doocy a “stupid son of a b****” after the
journalist asked whether inflation could become a political liability. Doocy
later said Biden called to apologize.
And as vice president in 2010, Biden whispered into President
Obama’s ear during the Affordable Care Act signing ceremony: “This is a big
f***ing deal.”
President Barack Obama himself was heard calling Kanye West a
“jacka**” in 2009 after the rapper infamously interrupted Taylor Swift at the
MTV Video Music Awards. Obama also called Mitt Romney a “bulls***er” in a 2012
Rolling Stone interview.
“I probably curse more than I should,” Obama later admitted,
“especially after I became president.”
Though unfiltered language might seem like a modern trend,
presidential cursing goes back generations. According to historians, even
Abraham Lincoln was known to use salty language in private.
