A Brief Collection of the Most Offensive Things Donald Trump Has Ever Said
YoungCons

If you are like me, or like millions of other Americans, you do not pay a ton of attention to American politics. I keep up with things that directly affect me and laws that I need to follow so I don’t get arrested, but other than that, politics, politicians, and I are not on good terms. That said, no matter how hard I try, I cannot seem to escape Donald Trump. He invades everything from my Twitter feed and Facebook to the radio stations I try to listen to in the car! With all the commotion about whatever most recent comment Trump spews into the public, I decided to look at some of his remarks for myself. If you are thinking of voting and are not quite sure why most of America is so upset with Trump, or if you just get a kick out of the absurd things politicians say, here is a compilation of the 15 most offensive things Donald Trump has said in public. A warning, though: these comments could leave you riled up and angry, or shaking your head in dismay – so have at it!

1. Rosie O’Donnell, moderator on “The View”, a prominent and well respected woman, criticized Trump while on air back in 2006. Trump responded to her comments as follows:

“Rosie O'Donnell's disgusting both inside and out. You take a look at her, she's a slob. She talks like a truck driver, she doesn't have her facts, she'll say anything that comes to her mind. Her show failed when it was a talk show, the ratings went very, very, very low and very bad, and she got essentially thrown off television. I mean, she's basically a disaster."


2. Wow, Trump seems to have an issue with powerful women! In 2012, Trump tweeted against Huffington Post co-founder Arianna Huffington. Yikes.


3. Rather than attacking specific and well known women, Trump also extended his sexist comments to include women as a group following the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants with this comment.


"You know, it doesn't really matter what [the media] write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass."


4. It is not just women in high position that Donald Trump seems to be upset about. He also had some very disturbing things to say about Mexico and immigrants.


“The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”


5. And then Trump released another alarming statement about African Americans after he was sued by the Justice Department for refusing to implement fair business practices:

"I have a great relationship with the blacks. I've always had a great relationship with the blacks."


6. And another.

“Laziness is a trait in blacks."


7. And because insulting African Americans is not enough, Trump decided he should remark on Jewish people as well.

"Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yarmulkes every day."


8. With most of his comments on immigration out of the way, Donald Trump moved into the area of foreign policy, explaining the way he runs his business with an interaction with Muammar Qaddafi as an example.

"And by the way, I can tell you something else. I dealt with Gaddafi. I rented him a piece of land. He paid me more for one night than the land was worth for two years, and then I didn't let him use the land. That's what we should be doing. I don't want to use the word 'screwed', but I screwed him. That's what we should be doing."


9. Trump also once claimed to have no need for the money he earned.

“Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.”


10. And back to being rude to women, obviously, because with nothing better to discuss in the Republican debate this past month, Trump turned to comments about Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly being on her period:

"You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever."


11. Brace yourself for this one, because our potential president may have made a reference to incest – Donald Trump has a daughter named Ivanka who is 33 years old, and when he was asked about how he would feel if Ivanka posed for Playboy, he said,


12. Gay marriage has been accepted by the majority of the country, but Trump’s position on the matter was made clear in this crude comparison with golf.

"It's like in golf. A lot of people — I don't want this to sound trivial — but a lot of people are switching to these really long putters, very unattractive. It’s weird. You see these great players with these really long putters, because they can't sink three-footers anymore. And I hate it. I am a traditionalist. I have so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I am a traditionalist."


13. It is no secret that Trump does not think Obama has been the best president, but when he said this he definitely stepped over the line from just stating his opinion on a political figure to making an assumption about an entire race of people.


14. Trump also fancies himself a doctor, preaching that vaccines can cause autism, and with no evidence to back him up.



15. Even though most of the population has been disrespected by now, Trump did not stop there but continued to make sure every single American has been slighted by promoting his own intelligence.

All of these things were intentionally said or tweeted by Donald Trump. Hard to believe, I know. Hopefully the press team and clean up crew Donald Trump hired did not get offended by any of these comments and are still willing to clean up his mess. Or maybe it is better to hope they did and Trump will just fade into the political abyss. But for now, remember, one of our potential Presidents actually said these things. You make the decision.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
