Chill out, Mr President!

Javier Milei keeps insulting his opponents, calling them “traitors,” “rats,” “criminals,” “trash,” among other nasty things. He seems to forget his role as president. He’s much more relevant and influential than the average citizen; therefore, he should mind his mouth, his tongue, his manners. Actually, his foul language speaks more of himself than of the people he attacks. Doesn’t he realize it harms his image? Can’t anyone advise him to chill out a little bit? He must have known what lay in store for him as soon as he took office. Maybe he has naively underrated his opponents and their ruthless power to harm him and his administration. His childish tantrums work against him and don’t score him any points. On the contrary. Going from bad to worse…
