    So if I inform management that a team member yelled at a customer that just "gossip?"

    The USA had no colonies before the Great Rebellion.

    The USA established it's first territories outside the CONUS during the 1890's, the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii), Samoa, Guam, Midway Atoll, Puetro Rico and the P.I's.

    If the president of the United States, the leader of the free world acts this badly we need absolutely everyone to know about it and for him to be shamed for what he did. If the president used that language around me I wouldn't think twice to report it.

    What kind of strong language would you use? Would you call them shitheads?

    Oh well that's easy. To leftists EVERYTHING is racist. They just can't help it. Eat, sleep, breathe, shriek "Racism!" Nothing to it and definitely never EVER any thought involved in the process.

    Diplomacy doesn't apply to partisan discussion about the business of the nation. There is absolutely no obligation or expectation of privacy in a meeting like that unless it is a issue of national security. When you are dealing with your opposition and you say stupid racist things, you're an idiot to think they are going to protect your image. Each is trying to beat the others brains out and when one of them hands the other a gigantic club, you can bet its gonna land square on the idiots head.

    This is the president. He is president of all the people. He is perceived to be the temporary living embodiment of american power, values and law. He isn't the guy at the bar or your or I.

    We use that language all the time for all kinds of politically incorrect comments but we have no power. The problem with trump defenders is that they refuse to understand that the words of the president are considered the voice of america. Unfortunately he is too stupid to understand this basic concept much to the damage of the American Brand, the Office and the people.

    Actually this is the norm across every major company. Using vulgar insults against other co-workers in official meets is not ever appropriate and in any decent company you will either get a very stern warning or get fired. I heard of a guy who made a tacky joke slide in a presentation to the very upper-management and he was fired that day.

    Wasn't Trump talking of the living conditions? Wasn't this about location and not the people?

    What happened to this topic when it was Obama swearing a blue streak? Obama alleged it was good to calm him down.

    Are you saying you are not aware presidents cuss? I wish you would stick to the actual words Trump spoke. Ask yourself if those are excellent vacation spots.

    So saying that its been a "crappy" day is just as bad as calling a co-worker's house a "shithole" or calling a co-worker a "shithead."

    You didn't show that it was an invalid analogy.

    So swearing is the same as vulgar insults of trading partners and allies? At the office people sometimes swear and while its unprofessional its not a big problem. But if we swear about someone else in a meeting that is a problem.

    I shall try to review PBS prior broadcasts over the Obama cursing and see if they paid any attention.

    I did a preliminary scan seeking Obama curses and as I expected, PBS did not devote time to his cursing.

    https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=pbs+obama+curses

    But Obama used curses and explained he is calmed down by his cursing.

    Democrats make sure they do their best to make us look bad. Of course they do it for political gain.
