Today’s media is dominated by the infamous. With every blink of the eye, there is yet another figure on television making ludicrous statements about a group of people or incident. Unbelievable words come from the mouths of those you'd expect, but also those who you would anticipate would have much more poise and grace.
One such example of this is the Donald. Our Republican presidential candidate may be the biggest offender of publicly offensive statements that we have in the news today. He is outspoken, crass, and often makes offhand sexist and racist comments.
Another prime example is George Zimmerman, the man who murdered Trayvon Martin back in 2013, which was one of the events that sparked the Black Lives Matter movement. He has often made disturbing and disgusting remarks regarding the shooting and Black Lives Matter supporters in general, but also about women and about our country.
But here's the thing: sometimes, the quotes from these two are indistinguishable from one another. It is said that your actions reveal who you truly are, and though Donald Trump did not kill Trayvon Martin or retweet a picture of his lifeless body, and Zimmerman is not a candidate for the presidency, the fact that a statement from one could be mistaken for a statement from the other is kind of a ridiculous notion. Can you tell who said what?
1. "My Twitter has become so powerful that I can actually make my enemies tell the truth."
2. "All the media has proven with that is I get hotter women than you do, amigo."
3. “You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media writes as
long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass."
4. "I am what I am, I am what I am."
5. "I deal with the hatred by loving my supporters more."
6. "Nobody notices when things go right."
7. "Most Americans are f*cking idiots anyway."
8. "I will put myself in a position to help another human in any way I can."
9. "Laziness is a trait in the blacks."
10. "I am not a racist."
And the results....

2. George Zimmerman
