The idea of "moral compass" and Trump. I check on this: There are dozens of articles with "moral compass" in the headline since 2017. Not just "moral compass" but "lacks moral compass". The very best and most copied is this one- it scrolls for pages:
Trump has 'moral compass of an axe murderer' - quoted from a Georgian republican.
Such a compelling phrase, no wonder if is repeated so many times.
Even Ivanka Trump is in on the phrase with her own headline in the Politico in 2019:
'Ivanka Trump tells donors she got her moral compass from her dad'
Vanity Fair took up the headline and added 'unironically' to the quote.
Other sources proclaim that he is missing a moral compass. And still others that he has broken America's moral compass.
At the same time, moral compass and politician has been put together so much that the Oxford Languages definition of moral compass says this:
moral compass - noun used in reference to a person's ability to judge what is right and wrong and act accordingly.
"he is by no means the only senior politician who has mislaid his moral compass"
And variation of the spelling of axe. Is it ax? Or is it axe? Ax is described as "technically the preferred American spelling" but that "axe" is still widely used in the US and is still a correct way to spell the word.
