DETROIT, MICHIGAN: Donald Trump said that he was not using a "great word" while telling a story on the advice of an evangelical speaker, who asked him to drop the usage of foul language, on Saturday, June 15. 

However, he insisted that "sometimes you need foul language," while speaking at Turning Point USA‘s 'The People’s Convention' in Detroit, Michigan, as per Mediaite.

Donald Trump says a pastor requested him to not 'use foul language'

During the event, the 78-year-old politician spoke about negotiations with Mexico while describing a "tall, dark, and handsome man."

Elaborating further, he stated, "He couldn’t breathe. I said, are you okay in that beautiful suit? He was getting, his suit was getting very damp. I said, are you okay? He goes …"

But instead of completing the story, Trump remarked, "Oh, and by the way, I have to tell you, I had a great word that I was going to use, but it’s a curse word. And I was told by a great evangelical preacher just this week, 'Sir, you tell the greatest stories, you, the greatest, everything. But, sir, please don’t use foul language.'"

"And I said, sometimes you need foul language to tell a great story. Because there’s no words like this. He said, 'Sir, you don’t–' So I was going to use a really terrible word, but it’s over in an instant. But the truth is, I think it does look worse," noted the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.

He added, "Look at all the media back there. I think it does look worse on television than it sounds in a room. So did you notice I had a blank space right there?"

However, earlier in in his speech, the former president did use a curse word while dissing environmentally-friendly military vehicles. He said, "They want to go in in a clean, environmental way as we bomb the s**t out of a country, can you believe that?"

Netizens react as Donald Trump says he dropped a curse word on a pastor's request

One wrote, "What a big boy. 🙄  The old man cusses hourly, seemingly. Nothing new. He’s always been foul," and another said, "It's like dealing with a complete idiot when another man has to tell another man to stop cursing."

A person inquired, "Did the FELON discuss any actual policy issues with any level of seriousness or intelligence?" while someone else shared, "His giant ego has taken over. He is no longer even a person, just a giant blob of ego. He just gets more disgusting every day."

"Trump using ‘sir’ multiple times in his account means he made up the story of the unnamed preacher," quipped one more and an individual joked, "I need foul language whenever I'm talking about Trump."
