The three Trump statements that disturb and frighten me the most are (in order of concern):
(1) His statement during an interview years ago in which he expressed his admiration for the "strength of the Chinese government in putting down the RIOT at Tiananmen Square." He added, "The Chinese government almost blew it!" This year, during a debate, he actually defended his statement and as far as anyone knows, he still considers the unarmed Chinese students who protested for democracy, to be a "dangerous riot." Strangely, very few people seem to see the inherent danger in this extremist position??? Trump sheeple are either too ignorant to see it or simply wave it off as an insignificant gaff.

(2) His statement praising Saddam Hussein's power and the Iraqi government's efficiency at "killing terrorists".....obviously overlooking the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi innocents (ie, Kurds) also murdered by the Hussein regime.

(3) His tweet of a Benito Mussolini quote. After being questioned about it, he said it was a "good quote" and apparently saw no issue at all with quoting one of the most notorious fascist dictators in history......while running for President of a nation which claims to be the "Bastion of Democracy, Freedom, and Human Rights". How many brave American soldiers lost their lives fighting Mussolini's forces in Italy and North Africa during the Second World War?

In summary, I could give a damn about how crude, narcissistic, or culturally insensitive the man is.....I'm much more concerned about the disturbing authoritarian ideals which his statements have revealed.

You know Trump is watching with admiration what is going on in the Philippines right now. I am watching to see if he is going to be willing to admit it. Kinda think that one would be a bridge too far, so he wont. If Hillary is smart she will ask him the question in a debate, try to get him to jump where he wants to go.
 
Capitalism is not evil even though it isn't perfect. But crony capitalism is evil because it allows who the winners and losers will be through government.
For cripe sakes, is there not enough voters out there to discern that basic truth?
Are so many of you stuck on the magic R or D behind the candidate that you no longer have the ability to face up to the truth?
Here's a suggestion, how about returning to the Constitution to determine how business should proceed! Hear! Hear!

For me Trump's biggest piece of bull crap was when he pushed a conspiracy theory against Ted Cruz's father being involved in Kennedy's assassination.
His pal Pecker ran a story in the National Enquire claiming Cruz's dad was seen with Oswald. All a bunch of bullcrap. But previously Trump's friend Pecker also pushed a story that Cruz had affairs with several women.
I can not stand Donald Trump. He is a POS. And his pal Pecker is an appropriate name. May G-d make them pay for all the wrong they did.

The comments about Ted Cruz's father were disgusting. I thought that would finally be the end of his campaign because smart people don't support garbage like Trump.

Then again, I thought that when he said he knew more about fighting ISIS than the generals. And when he said he didn't like soldiers who got themselves captured. And when he went on a Twitter war against Ted Cruz's wife. And when he accused an American judge of being too biased because of his parents' heritage to do his job fairly. And when he Twitted about black people voting for him, using the death of an innocent black woman as his reasoning. And when he said Hillary Clinton was an honest woman and the best Secretary of State ever. And when the truth about all of his personal job outsourcing was exposed. Ah, I could go on and on and on....

Donald Trump is a piece of ****.
 
I'm a parent of 4. 1 of the 1st things we taught them was never make fun of other people's looks, disabilities, etc. Because that could easily have been you. But for the grace of God go I.

So obviously my pick is when he mocked and made fun of that disabled reporter. I was flabbergasted that a 70 YO man would do that, that's something a 5 YO would do and then be disciplined for. Obviously no one ever disciplined Trump. So he acts like a spoiled brat 5 YO.
 
The mocking of the disabled reporter showed us that Tdump has a sub-human side.
 
I voted for Trump's mocking of the reporter but must agree that the actions noted by other forum members would have made a choice more difficult and time consuming.

Why not add on Trump's follow-up to his disgusting display of mocking the reporter.
Trump denies mocking journalist who has disability, demands an apology (VIDEO)

A day after he was widely rebuked for mocking a reporter with a physical disability, business mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump on Thursday denied that he had done so and accused the reporter of “using his disability to grandstand.”

Trump also demanded an apology from the New York Times, the reporter’s employer, which earlier in the week issued a statement condemning Trump for ridiculing “the appearance of one of our reporters.”

You should have added an "All of the Above" option after #8.

I'm disappointed there is only 10 slots available in a poll. If a poll ever needed more options, it's this topic.

Some other posters have come up with some most worthy examples that I missed.
 
With so many to choose from, the selection is mind boggling. The comment he made indicating Sen McCain was a looser for being a POW takes the cake, at least for this Vet.
 
Agree...we needed an All of the Above option. But the mocking of the disabled reporter showed us exactly who Trump is - an ignorant immature bully.

None of those. Attacking the Latino judge. He gained nothing, attacked the kind of guy the GOP wants to attract, and looked stupid for it. That the judge had a remarkable history fighting Mexican drug gangs makes it just a bit worse...

This.

While mocking a disabled person, calling McCain a loser for being captured and the Khan incident were all pretty good crowd pleasers, it was the Curiel incident that most specifically highlighted the image of overt bigotry the GOP was trying to diminish. Especially, as you said, because the judge was unassailable.
 
No one has mentioned standing on the street and shooting somebody and not losing any voters. :2razz:
 
****, I accidentally voted for the last option. :D I meant to select "Other": Calling Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists. He single-handedly lost the Latinx vote with that comment, and his hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric has just sealed the deal.
