June 14th, 1946 marks the day Trump was born, which means this Tuesday he will be turning 70! I guess all his money went into Botox, although, you’d think he’d be able to afford better hair. In light of this event, I will be doing 70 of Trump’s most offensive, outrageous quotes and just silly quotes. Not all of these are from his presidential campaign and have nothing to do with politics. Is 70 a bit of an overkill? Yes, but so is Trump. I split them up into categories for your convenience and feel free to comment any crazy quotes I left out.
