Where some lines need context, it is given or some added snark I just couldn't resist!
"I know more about ISIS than the generals do."
"I'm not sure I have" [...ever sinned] The response he gave when asked by a Christian if he ever asked God for forgiveness.
"I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke."
"I have a great relationship with the blacks."
"Nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated." Who doesn't know that health care is complicated?
"I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed."
"The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive."
"I have a very good brain." A brain only a mother could love!
"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters." Sad, but true.
"I have never heard of a Category 5 hurricane before."
"I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things." And therein lies the problem.
"I think I am actually humble. I think I’m much more humble than you would understand." How does a humble man brag he is humble?
"When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy." I don't want my president saying such things as a grown man, not even in locker rooms.
"I have tremendous respect for women." I'm sure all liars do, too.
"The United States has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems."
"I’m the best thing that ever happened to the Secret Service."
"I know more about renewables than any human being on Earth."
"I think I’ve made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard." - Trump made this comment in response to a question about whether he had made any personal sacrifices for his country thus trivializing the sacrifices made by military service members and their families.
"I have a very good relationship with Kim Jong Un." Yes, love letters to a brutal dictator. Wonderful.
"I’m not a politician, and I’m not sure I ever want to be." Oh, Trump, once you couldn't spell 'politician', and now you are one!
"I have a natural instinct for science." Trump ought to capitalize on his genius and launch a brand of bleach, he'd make a mint!
"I don't settle cases. I don't do it because that's why I don't get sued very often." I believe the record shows he's settled some 175 cases.
"I don't like to analyze myself because I might not like what I see."
"I have never seen the I.Q. of a human being." Brilliant!
"The media is the enemy of the American people." Music to the ears of any demagogue/dictator. In addition to the second amendment, the first amendment, which is to say, a vigorous and open free press, with free speech for all is one of the salient shields between the individual and tyranny.
"I think I am a nice person." There are some two dozen books which dispute that point.
"I have a great relationship with African Americans."
"I could be the most popular person in Europe. I could run for any office if I wanted to."
"I'm really rich." So much so he's declared bankruptcy 6 times, showed no income (just losses) on his taxes for about a decade.
"I have never seen a thin person eating ice cream."
"I know words, I have the best words." Only the very best!
"I’m, like, a really smart person." But the question is, do smart people really go around declaring they are smart? Hmmmm.
"I don’t think I’ve made mistakes." Never?
"I have the absolute right to pardon myself." How could that idea ever occur to an innocent President?
"I’m not a fan of sharks, and I don’t think I ever will be." Not particularly bad, but an odd thing to say for a president.
"I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me." Sorry, I don't believe you.
"I have the best temperament or certainly one of the best temperaments of anybody that’s ever run for the office of president." Ouch!
"I have done more for African Americans than any president since Lincoln." Oh, the humility of this man!
"I know more about ISIS than the generals do."
