So I was reading WaPo's article on Trump's first ad and I saw a slide show of all the things Trump is against.
It was 22 slides long.
Let's go.
TBH, I'm more shocked at all the ones left omitted. They could have put together a much stronger list just from the stuff I see posted here on GAF. I found it on this article, but I don't know if it's a random thing or specific.
It was 22 slides long.
Let's go.
- Muslims | Trump said on Dec. 7 that he was in favor of a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States, barring followers of the worlds fastest-growing religion because he considers the faith rooted in hatred and violence.
- Jeff Bezos | On Dec. 7, Trump took to Twitter to bash The Washington Post and, more specifically, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon.com and owner of The Post since 2013.
- Mic Smith | Republican presidential candidate, businessman Donald Trump speaks at an event sponsored by the Greater Charleston Business Alliance and the South Carolina African American Chamber of Commerce. In a profanity-laced interview with the Daily Mail, Trump called the photographer who shot this picture a f***ing thief: Tell them theyre a fraud, whoever took it. I just got killed on that thing, and it was just really unfair.
- Hugh Hewit | Trump called the much-respected conservative radio host and constitutional law professor a third-rate announcer, after an interview with Hewitt exposed what would appear to be some gaps in Trump's knowledge bank.
- Rosie O'Donnell | During the Fox News debate, Megyn Kelly asked why Trump has called women fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals on social media. Only Rosie ODonnell, Trump responded.
- Reporters | Theyre a very dishonest lot, generally speaking, in the world of politics, Trump said at the Fox News debate.
- Fox anchor Chris Wallace | At the debate, Trump said to moderator Wallace, You know, I mean you're living in a world of the make-believe, Chris, you want to know the truth.
- Former president George W. Bush | The last number of months of [Jeb Bushs] brothers administration were a catastrophe. And unfortunately, those few months gave us President Obama. And you cant be happy about that, Trump said during the debate.
- President Barack Obama | Trump said of the president at the debate, I would be so different from what you have right now. Like, the polar opposite. We have a president who doesnt have a clue. I would say hes incompetent, but I dont want to do that, because thats not nice.
- Fox host Megyn Kelly | The questions to me were not nice. I didnt think they were appropriate. And I thought Megyn behaved very badly, personally, he told reporters about moderator Kelly after the debate.
- Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) | Trump gave out the phone number of the fellow GOP presidential candidate during a campaign event in South Carolina. Its clear he was trying to retaliate against attacks from Graham, who has been one of the more vocal GOP candidates in calling out Trump.
- Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) | Hes not a war hero, Trump said of McCain, who was captured and tortured for years during the Vietnam War. Hes a war hero because he was captured. I like people that werent captured. McCain responded on MSNBCs Morning Joe by asking for an apology for the families of those who have sacrificed in conflict.
- Illegal immigrants from Mexico | Theyre bringing drugs. Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists. And some, I assume, are good people, Trump said at his campaign launch. Here, Armando Garcia holds up a sign during a protest in Washington of Trumps characterization of Mexican immigrants.
- NBC | NBC is weak, and like everybody else is trying to be politically correct. . . . Furthermore, they will stand behind lying Brian Williams but wont stand behind people that tell it like it is, as unpleasant as that may be, he said after NBC dumped his show, The Apprentice.
- Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney | Romney I have a Gucci store thats worth more than Romney, Trump told the Des Moines Register. In this photo, Trump announces his endorsement of Romney for president in 2012.
- Arianna Huffington of the Huffington Post | @ariannahuff is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man he made a good decision, Trump tweeted.
- The Washington Posts Chris Cillizza | On May 12, Trump tweeted, One of the dumber and least respected of the political pundits is Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post @TheFix. Moron hates my poll numbers.
- Black bankers | 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, Trump said, according to an associate. Trump told Rolling Stone magazine in an interview that the comments were probably true.
- Mark Cuban, businessman and co-owner of the NBAs Dallas Mavericks | There have been 14 or 15 copies of The Apprentice. Mark Cuban did one called The Benefactor. It was a disaster.
- The Rev. Al Sharpton, MSNBC host and civil rights activist | Dont believe the inclusion [argument from NBC]. Theyve got Rev. Al Sharpton working for them. Hes a con man. You have to understand, Rev. Al is a con man.You know, he tells people, Im going to picket you if you don't give. This guys a con man. But I've known him for 20 years. Youve got to understand who you're dealing with.
- The media | Many of them are very dishonest people very dishonest. . . . The press are liars. Theyre terrible people. Terrible. Not all of them, but many of them.
- Wall Street traders | I know the greatest negotiators in the world. Some are horrible people, horrible human beings. Who cares? Some Wall Street guys theyre brutal, theyre miserable, you wouldnt want to go out to dinner, theyre terrible people. I love them. I know the best. I know people that are totally overrated, theyre not good like they think and like the press think. I know people that youve never heard of who are better than all of them. I would take one and put it in charge of Japan. Good luck.
TBH, I'm more shocked at all the ones left omitted. They could have put together a much stronger list just from the stuff I see posted here on GAF. I found it on this article, but I don't know if it's a random thing or specific.
Kinda whiny little bitch, no?
