JOHNSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA: On Friday, August 30, former president Donald Trump claimed that everything Vice President Kamala Harris handles falls apart, adding that Rev Franklin Graham had previously asked him to refrain from using vulgar language at rallies.

After asserting that everything Vice President Kamala Harris is involved with deteriorates, Trump discussed how he often ignores requests to refrain from using coarse language, Mediaite reported.



 

Trump said, "Our country is going to fail. These people are stupid people that are running our country. They don’t have any common sense. 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."

He added, "Every single place she’s touched. I have to say, it. Every place she’s touched, you know?"

Trump shared that evangelist Franklin Graham, the president of Samaritan's Purse, had advised him to avoid using profanity in his speeches. However, he speculated that no other word could better describe the state of American cities.

Trump further remarked, "You might have heard this, Franklin Graham is wonderful and he wrote me a letter and he said, 'Sir, I love your stories, and I love listening to your rallies, but could you please don’t use foul language? Your speeches would be even better if you didn’t use foul language.'"

"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? Every place she touches wouldn’t be nice. People would – that would be a thud. It would land with a thud. No, and Franklin is probably right. I’m not sure I agree with him. But he’s a great guy, actually. But he did say that to me," he continued.

The former president mentioned that he attempts to "avoid" cursing to please Graham and gain his wife's approval, the former first lady Melania Trump.

He concluded, “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.”
