Acclaimed former President Donald Trump recently rebuffed a friendly piece of advice from renowned evangelist Franklin Graham, urging him to exclude profanity from his addresses. Although Trump acknowledges the need for reducing foul language, he maintains that his supporters have an affinity for it.

During a recent public meeting in Philadelphia, he shared details about the counsel Franklin Graham had extended to him in a letter. In Graham’s perspective, swearing was diminishing the impact of the otherwise excellent speeches delivered by Trump. Responding to this letter during his address, Trump countered their suggestion stating, “He’s wrong.” He expressed admiration for Graham as an individual but agreed to disagree with him on this instance.

Trump acknowledged that he has been sincerely trying to reduce profanity at his rallies and appealed for understanding due to the lengthy duration of these political gatherings. Highlighting their endurance which often goes beyond two hours, he pitched for minimal indulgence in such terms as necessary for emphasis during a passionate discourse. Apparently proud of himself for avoiding obscenities during earlier appearances at Christian conferences, he humorously remarked how those talks could’ve been more lively with a touch of profanity.

The former president asserted that increased disapproval regarding his language could inspire him towards further reformation. He quipped that when there are visible signs of people leaving due to his choice of words; then would be the time for him renounce such language completely.

There seems to be relatable charm hidden within Trump’s occasional effusion of profane language. Certain masses feel connected through this non-traditional lexicon typical amongst overly polished politicians frequently perceived as unsympathetic and distant. This honest projection without any cover-up or pretense is one significant reason why many continue admiring him post-presidential tenure.

His approach spurred other politicians particularly conservatives who seemed motivated by this confrontational common-man rhetoric approach gaining popularity amidst constituents who sought relatability over former sterility. The personality making these candid expressions more admirable is of a highly affluent business tycoon surprisingly resonating amongst general masses.

Conversely, while the morality of Trump’s language may be open to debates, its effectiveness in extending appeal to his target voters has been undeniable and continuously reaffirmed.
