Talk about a list that really is never ending.
Back in June, billionaire and business tycoon Donald Trump announced that he would seek the Republican Nomination for President in 2016. Many people, myself included, thought that this was a joke simply intended to draw people's attention to Trump, as if his toupée isn't enough of a head-turner already.
As it turns out, he was being dead serious. Trump is a very intelligent man, but his social awareness is horrendous. He currently leads polls to win the GOP Nomination. With primary elections coming just around the corner, here are the top 10 most ridiculous things Donald Trump has ever said:
10. "Part of the beauty of me is that I'm really rich."

Our first quote comes from an interview Trump did on ABC's "Good Morning America." Trump makes over $400 million dollars a year, and he lists his own net worth at $10 billion dollars, while experts list it at $2 billion – which is still a tremendous amount of money. According to him, he isn't relying on donations and is financing his entire presidential campaign out of his own pocket. His companies have also declared bankruptcy four times in the last ten years. But since he's "really rich," we should probably let him have his hands on the entire U.S. economy, right?
9. "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems...they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists."

This quote is the kind of thing that should be on a "SportsCenter's" "Come on, Man" segment. But if you ask Trump, there "isn't a racist bone in his body."
8. "All of the women on 'The Apprentice' flirted with me – consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected."

Perhaps this is why Trump has been married three times since 1992. But then again, how can you not flirt with a man with such great hair? Or perhaps these women were just attracted to his wallet.
7. "I don't think Ivanka would do that, although she does have a very nice figure. I've said if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."

Trump gave this quote after he was asked how he felt about his daughter posing for playboy magazine. Do I really have to say anything?
Once again, come on, man.
6. “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.”

It's a good thing he isn't running for the Democratic nomination after saying stuff such as this. It's one thing to disagree with gay marriage, but comparing it to golf? You can do better, Donald. Perhaps he'll become more open minded if his fourth marriage ever rolls around.
5. "I have people that have been studying Obama's birth certificate and they cannot believe what they're finding... I would like to have him show his birth certificate, and can I be honest with you, I hope he can. Because if he can't, if he can't, if he wasn't born in this country, which is a real possibility…then he has pulled one of the great cons in the history of politics."

Of course, nobody would have thought to check Barack Obama's birth certificate before he ran for office – that wouldn't make sense. Barack Obama also produced his full birth certificate about three weeks after this happened.
4. "These are stupid people that say, 'Oh, didn't Trump declare bankruptcy? Didn't he go bankrupt?' I didn't go bankrupt."

As mentioned before, he has, four times. In 1991, 1992, 2004 and 2009. All these companies were casinos or hotels in Atlantic City. Let's hope the American economy isn't his next venture to go bankrupt.
3. "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever."

This quote was Mr. Trump insulting Fox News anchor Megyn Kelley for questions she asked him during the GOP debate, which Fox broadcasted this past summer. It's good to know his head is in the right place.
2. "You know, it really doesn't matter what the [the media] write, as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass."

Well put, Donald, especially considering you would date your own daughter.
1. "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."

I rest my case. These words are also coming from the same man who said that "laziness is a trait in all blacks."
Maybe part of Mr. Trump's campaign platform is to outrage every group of people in America with one of his outrageous quotes. Who knows. Trump is right – we do need to "Make America Great Again –" but it needs to be done with somebody else in office.
