Former President Donald Trump admitted Sunday that he used foul language at his rallies because people tended to fall asleep if he didn't.
Trump made the admission while speaking to supporters in Erie, Pennsylvania, about the environment.
The former president said that his wife and Franklin Graham had encouraged him to stop cursing at rallies.
"And then I said, okay, I won't use certain words," Trump explained. "But you know, when you don't use those certain little keywords like bulls---, there's, there's no other word."
"No, I'm trying to find, it's just, there's no other word," he continued. "I mean, I don't use really bad words, but like, you know, for emphasis."
Trump recalled trying to tell a story without foul words at a rally once.

"And so I tried it one time, and it wasn't pretty," he remembered. "Instead of that word I said, and it's not true."
"And people are looking like, you know, falling asleep."
