> But how come people like him are held up to such high standards? Because he is supposed to be a leader. Leaders are held to higher standards. They are supposed to have integrity and good character. The people you cite are celebrities, not leaders. We do not take them seriously. They are there to entertain us, make a lot of money, do drugs and fade into oblivion. Comparisons are irrelevant. All that you get making comparisons is a race to the bottom. And it wasn't that he was profane. He wasn't profane in the tweet at all. (No one really cares about profanity anymore anyway). He went out of his way to demean another human being (who he likely knew and worked closely with) when it was really not necessary. That is the shocking, self-serving, and utterly ugly part about his statement. It shows that he lacks character.
