OUTRAGEOUS SAYINGS OF ‘THE DONALD’
WHENEVER Donald Trump opens his mouth, a gaffe isn’t far behind. Here are some of his most outrageous sayings:
ON LIFE
‘SHOW me someone without an ego and I’ll show you a loser.’ ‘YOU can’t be too greedy.’
ON SEX
‘GROWING up, I thought aggression, sex drive and everything that goes along with it was on the man’s part of the table, not the woman’s. But then I began to realise that women are far stronger than men. Their sex drive makes us look like babies.’
‘I DON’T know why, but I seem to bring out either the best or worst in women.’
‘I THINK the only difference between me and the other candidates is that I’m more honest and my women are more beautiful.’
‘I’VE never had any trouble in bed, but if I’d had affairs with half the starlets and female athletes who’ve been linked me with, I’d have no time to breathe.’
‘MY DAUGHTER Ivanka [aged 33] does have a very nice figure . . . I’ve said that if she weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.’
ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
‘THEY’RE bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.’
ON HIS HAIR
‘AS EVERYBODY knows, but the haters and losers refuse to acknowledge, I do not wear a “wig”. My hair may not be perfect, but it’s mine.’
ON HIS POLITICAL ENEMIES
ON FORMER Republican presidential candidate and national hero John McCain, who was held captive in Vietnam for five years: ‘He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.’
ON HIS REPUTATION
‘LOVE him or hate him, Donald Trump is a man who is certain about what he wants and sets out to get it, no holds barred. Women find his power almost as much of a turn-on as his money.’
‘PART of the beauty of me is that I’m very rich.’ ‘I SHOW [my] apartment to very few people. Presidents. Kings.’
ON HOLLYWOOD FILM STARS
ON ANGELINA Jolie. ‘She’s been with so many guys she makes me look like a baby . . . And I just don’t even find her attractive.’
TO CELEBRATED TV interviewer Larry King. ‘Do you mind if I sit back a little bit because your breath is very bad? It really is.’
ON ACTOR Robert De Niro: ‘When I watch him doing interviews and various other things, we’re not dealing with Albert Einstein.’
‘KATY Perry [the U.S. singer] must have been drunk when she married Russell Brand.’
‘WHILE Bette Midler is an extremely unattractive woman, I refuse to say that because I always insist on being politically correct.’
ON RACE
‘I’VE ALWAYS had a great relationship with the blacks.’
ON THE CLINTONS
‘IF HILLARY Clinton can’t satisfy her husband, what makes her think she can satisfy America?’ ‘HAD Bill Clinton not met various and sundry semi-beautiful women, he would have had a much better deal going.’
ON OBAMA
‘SADLY, because he has done such a poor job as President, you won’t see another black President for generations!’
ON THE ENVIRONMENT
‘IT’S freezing and snowing in New York. We need global warming!’
ON IRAQ
‘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***ing school in Brooklyn.’
