Summary: Donald Trump has a way with words. We’ve compiled 25 of his most outrageous statements below.
Primary season starts in less than five months and the sound bites are flying. One tenacious candidate for the G.O.P. nom seems to be taking up more than his share of the auditory spectrum. Though based on what he’s saying, you’d think the only geographical areas he knew were China, Mexico, and possibly a little about the Middle East—oh, and asses. Apparently the Donald knows asses. Here are 25 of his most memorable statements:
1. “I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.”
2. “I saw a report yesterday. There’s so much oil, all over the world, they don’t know where to dump it. And Saudi Arabia says, ‘Oh, there’s too much oil.’ Do you think they’re our friends? They’re not our friends.”
3. “If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?”
4. “You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.”
5. “If I were running ‘The View,’ I’d fire Rosie [O’Donnell]. I mean, I’d look her right in that fat, ugly face of hers, I’d say, ‘Rosie, you’re fired.'”
6. “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the 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.”
7. “The U.S. will invite El Chapo, the Mexican drug lord who just escaped prison, to become a U.S. citizen because our ‘leaders’ can’t say no!”
8. “I mean, part of the beauty of me is that I’m very rich.”
9. “Well, somebody’s doing the raping, Don. I mean somebody’s doing it. Who’s doing the raping? Who’s doing the raping?”
10. “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.”
11. “@ariannahuff is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man–he made a good decision.”
12. “If you can’t get rich dealing with politicians, there’s something wrong with you.”
13. “A certificate of live birth is not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination as a birth certificate.”
14. “We build a school, we build a road, they blow up the school, we build another school, we build another road they blow them up, we build again, in the meantime we can’t get a f—— school in Brooklyn.”
15. “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.”
16. “The wall will go up and Mexico will start behaving.”
17. “She wanted to breast pump in front of me. I may have said something that’s disgusting, I may have said something else. I thought it was terrible.”
18. “Our great African American President hasn’t exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore!”
19. “Laziness is a trait in the blacks….Black guys counting my money! I hate it.”
20. “The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yamakas every day.”
21. I have a great relationship with the blacks.
22. “When was the last time anybody saw us beating, let’s say, China in a trade deal? They kill us. I beat China all the time. All the time.”
23. “Free trade is terrible. Free trade can be wonderful if you have smart people. But we have stupid people [in office].”
24. “You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever.”
25. “One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace. Good people don’t go into government.”
Touché, Mr. Trump. Or shall we say, “Toupee.”
