especially regarding the Epstein files. But it was stated in ordinary, non-vulgar language.

The UAW is absolutely right to say that it was Trump who spoke inappropriately for a modern workplace. As a side note, it's also inappropriate to have temper tantrums, throw ketchup at walls, and otherwise engage in similar childish acts, though these seem to be prized by the Stephen Cheung, Steven Miller, Pete Hegseth, JD Vance contingent of the current US government.
