As a second language learner of English, I used to stress over getting my English right and would spend time double checking my spelling and grammar, checking the dictionary to make sure I am using the word correctly, even when posting on forums and comment sections. Once Trump became president and I saw the numerous mistakes he made, I stopped caring.
I used to get everything perfect at work no matter how many hours it took. When Donald took office in 2016 I realized skills and effort weren’t really that important. I focused more on talking to the right people and getting good reviews. Life got a lot easier. Less work and more money. Now that he’s back in office I’m finding it really hard to even check my work once before pushing it out. People keep forgiving mistakes though.
This is unpresidented!

I miss the days when competence was expected.
That extra effort was worth it. Most people would be embarrassed if they only communicated at the level of a US president.
Idk there’s a wide margin. Trump is demented, rambling, and can’t spell, but Obama is one of the best orators alive. Bush and Clinton are fine at it
Bush was actually so well known for his mistakes in speech that there was a term called Bushisms and even books and a Wikipedia page on it.
