Over the past few months, the American public has heard the absurdity that has spewed from the mouth of one of the conservative presidential candidates, the infamous Donald Trump. In an effort to better inform fellow Americans of how ignorant, offensive and obnoxious Trump is, here is just a sampling of some of the things Trump has actually said, either out loud, tweeted, or otherwise.
In a stunning objectification of women and complete disregard of his constituents’ opinions of him: “You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media writes as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of a**.”
Oh, and he also has thought about dating his daughter. (What??) “I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”
“The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.” Glad to see you completely disregard scientific evidence for global climate change and instead blame it on a country. Makes perfect sense.
(To China): “Listen you m*****f*****, we’re going to tax you 25 percent!” Let’s take it down a couple notches, Donald, and realize that 99 percent of the things you own are probably made in China.
“I will build a great wall—and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me—and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.” Okay, a few things here. One, congrats on being so great at building walls. That’s definitely a criteria we want for a president, 10/10. Secondly, who will build this wall? You, Mr. Trump? No…probably the “Mexicans” you’re so adamantly trying to keep out, especially if you want to keep it cheap. No American will want to build a wall in the blistering hot Southern weather. Let’s see how well that will turn out. Also, side note, you’re calling your wall a “great wall.” Sounds a lot like a wall that happens to be in China. You hate China, but strangely sound like them. Ironic. Hilarious. Love it.
“One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace. Good people don’t go into government.” So that makes you…?
…Apparently beautiful. So glad you have self-confidence: “Part of the beauty of me is I’m very rich.”
“Laziness is a trait in the blacks…Black guys counting my money! I hate it.” Ah, yes. A blatantly racist candidate.
“The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yamakas every day.” Racist and stereotyping of a religious faith too? Trump is just hitting all the bases!
And, perhaps the worst and most shameful one…
“He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured, OK, I hate to tell you.” Okay, Trump, let’s go there. Let’s compare you to Sen. John McCain, a POW from Vietnam who had to relearn how to walk and endured horrific torture while you were living it up in New York. Please tell us more about how you hate this war hero that bravely defended our country.
Well, there you have it. If you don’t have a bitter taste in your mouth after reading this, just keep googling “Trump quotes” until you find one that upsets you. There’s plenty. You’ll find one.
