Shocking moment Trump appears to goes off script and says there are 'two n-words' you can't use while discussing nuclear weapons

The US leader was discussing escalating global tension when he dropped the clanger

Donald Trump said there are 'two n-words' you can't use in an extremely bizarre moment when addressing top military leaders today.

Trump is no stranger to speaking out of turn when in front of the camera – and today's (30 September) speech to US Generals at Marine Corps Base in Quantico, Virginia, was no different.

While addressing the crowd, the 79-year-old President came onto the topic of escalating tensions around the world and ongoing fears about the use of nuclear weapons, which he had a rather creative way of referring to.

"We can’t let people throw around that word," the president said. "I call it the n-word. There are two n-words, and you can’t use either of them."

The other n-word is presumably an offensive racial slur.

Watch the bizarre moment below:

And of course, Trump couldn't help but include a boast about the US military's strength either, with the President adding that should a scenario occur where nuclear war is inevitable, saying 'we have more [nukes] than anybody else'.

Although it may be worth reminding President Trump that you only need a handful of nuclear weapons to devastate a country, and just 100 to cause a nuclear winter.

This isn't the first time Trump has called nuclear weapons in this manner, with The New York Times revealing the former businessman is fond of referring to nuclear warheads in such a manner.

Social media users have, of course, been quick to react to the President's remarks.

"Can you just imagine what's going through the General's minds right now?," one person wrote, while a second penned: "Did he just compare Nuclear to the N word...

"My God we are beyond F**ked."

"Nuclear submarines and racial slurs, two very closely related things," added a third user.
