Language devolving

The current occupant has often said that the people of the press “talk bad” and “write bad” about him. And now he has said that Gustavo Petro, the president of Colombia, has “a fresh mouth toward America.”

“A fresh mouth”! I don’t think I’ve heard that phrase since kidhood, when someone might have been accused of “talking fresh.”

“Ya got a fresh mouth on ya!”

“Oh yeah?”

“Yeah!”

I hear his language devolving.
