IIRC, it's a Washington Post first to have a curse word in a headline.

In general, we would only publish swear words in rare cases when they are necessary to the understanding of a person or situation, such as a prominent official. Like if the president or pope said a swear word. In this case, it's the president.

This is much like our decision to publish Trump's words in the Access Hollywood tape, or Scaramucci's choice quotes from last year.
