Donald Trump often doesn't mince his words when talking about others, whether they are his opponents or even celebrities. This habit of his has caused controversy time and time again. Most recently, he had to clarify in which he said 'you'll never have to vote again' when addressing the Christians in the US.

He has been warned time and again to be careful with his words, not just by his team, judges, political experts, but also his wife, and now a pastor.
A pastor's request to Donald Trump
No matter what, Donald Trump says what he thinks and he is unapologetic about it. Sometimes this also means that parents attending his speeches should probably cover their children's ears. Donald Trump's own wife Melania doesn't seem to like the use of swear words at all. She's not the only one, it seems a pastor that is well-known within the community, Reverend Franklin Graham, also asked the politician to express himself more carefully.
Trump revealed when he was rallying in Pennsylvania that he received a letter from the clergyman which said:
Sir, I love your stories, and I love listening to your rallies, but could you please avoid using foul language? Your speeches would be even better without it.
It is clear that his wife's and the pastor's pleas have not been taken into consideration. When he revealed this information he was trying to clarify why he thought it was appropriate to use one swear word in relation to his opponent Kamala Harris.
Donald Trump explains why he swears
He said that there was no other word that more fitting for certain situations:
They believe in an ideology and – if you look at Kamala and you look at what she’s done to every place she’s touched has turned to s**t. Every single place she’s touched. I have to say, it. Every place she’s touched, you know?
But there’s an example. It’s not really that bad a word, but how can you top that word for what I’m talking about? Right? What word?
He told his supporters that Pastor Graham was 'probably right', but he did not agree. He also added that his wife Melania doesn't like the swearing either and said, as quoted by Mediate:
My wife also, she says, ‘Please don’t use foul language.’ But it’s hard. You know, there’s some words that can’t be duplicated. They can’t. I try, but it can’t be duplicated.
