He's done this before, I believe in the 2020 campaign. There was some rally where he was talking about energy stuff and he just start saying "they don't want me to say the n-word. Should I say it?" and his supporters at the rally just suddenly get really excited and hootin' and hollerin' before he says nuclear and everyone seemed a bit disappointed.

Couldn't find one from that early, but I did find this clip from February 2023 (although he does say he's said this before!):

Nuclear is so devastating that we don't even want to talk about it, and that was a word that was never supposed to be mentioned, We have two n-words, neither of which should ever be mentioned. I said that once and they said 'oh what a terrible thing to say,' no. We have two n-words, you know what the one is but the other's the nuclear word, not supposed to ever be mentioned ever, ever, ever! It's mentioned every single day now.

Relevant Mulaney bit

That sounds similar to his nuclear uncle rant. I wonder if he rehearses these or if he makes them up on the fly.

The earliest I found from his campaign rally transcripts was March 26, 2022.

I think this might be the first time he said it. March 21 2022 on fox news live

He says it here in front of a crowd but it's not a usual campaign rally. April 13 2022

but anyway I can say nuclear or even nuc-u-lar with a hard u, because I am a physicist. It's our word!

He's done this bit at his rallies for years. I used to watch his rallies frequently to see his new talking points. He would ask the crowd "Do you know what the n word is?" There was a few times when someone in the crowd shouted the actual slur. Then Trump would laugh and say "No. the n word is nuclear." I think he was baiting the crowd intentionally to say the slur.

Here's the nuclear video clip from today.
