So my cousin Ken Larsen assembled these nifty lists of Trumpisms. They are the most complete cataloging that I’ve seen, and I wanted them out here for posterity (and possible last day conversation). So without further ado…
Trump Says The Darndest Things
A summary of Trump quotes, some from tweets.
“People are saying Donald Trump is a genius.”
“I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good
brain and I’ve said a lot of things.” Also, Trump once said he would
“listen to his own, superior brain.”
“My father would always praise me. He always thought I was the
smartest person.”
“Despite having one of the all-time great memories I certainly do not
remember him.”
“(I have) the world’s greatest memory,” adding that this was “one thing
everybody agrees on.” Months later, he could not remember saying it.
“I have a lot of common sense and I have a lot of business ability.”
“I played football and baseball, sorry, but said to be the best bball
player in N.Y. State—ask coach Ted Dobias—said best he ever
coached.”
“I was always the best athlete…I was the best baseball player in New
York when I was young…The best, the best hitter…I was good in other
sports too. I was good in wresting, I was very good at football. I was
always the best at sports.”
“The beauty of me is that I’m very rich.”
“I’ve got to give (campaign donations) to them (politicians), because
when I want something, I get it.”
“I like people who don’t get captured.”
“I don’t have thin skin. I have very strong and very thick skin. I have a
strong temperament. It’s a very good temperament and it’s a very in-
control temperament.”
“I think I have the best temperament, or one of the best temperaments,
of anybody who has ever run for president.”
“It’s the single greatest asset I have, my temperament.”
“I think my strongest asset, maybe by far, is my temperament. I have a
winning temperament. I know how to win.” He shouted this one.
“I’m also honored to have the greatest temperament that anybody has.”
“I know more about ISIS than the generals do, believe me.”
“Tens of thousands of people (refugees) have cell phones with ISIS
flags on them.”
“Bomb the shit out of ISIS.”
“I’ll destroy ISIS, believe me!”
“Tell the globalists to go fuh themselves.” (He sort of self-bleeped the
notorious f-word)
“I’d like to punch him in the face, believe me.”
“They’re (Mexicans) sending people that have a lot 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.”
“I am not a racist, in fact, I am the least racist person that you’ve ever
encountered.”
“Our great African-American President hasn’t exactly had a positive
impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying
Baltimore.”
“Sorry, losers and haters, but my IQ is one of the highest—and you all
know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure; it’s not your fault.”
“All of the women on ‘The Apprentice’ flirted with me—consciously
or unconsciously. That’s to be expected.”
“Hunting animals is just like golf.”
“I’m looking to take the oil. I want to take the oil. I want the oil.”
“It is better to live one day as a lion, than 100 years as a sheep.” Yes, it
was Benito Mussolini, the Father of Fascism, who said it originally.
First Il Duce, then Il Douche.
“The only way we could lose, in my opinion, I really mean this,
Pennsylvania, is if cheating goes on. I really believe it.”
“I love the poorly educated.”
“Only a stupid person, a really stupid person, is paying a lot of taxes.”
“There’s no such thing as racism anymore. We’ve had a black president
so it’s not a question anymore.”
“If Hillary can’t satisfy her husband, what makes her think she can
satisfy America?”
“Let’s properly check goofy Elizabeth Warren’s records to see if she is
Native American. I say she’s a fraud!”
“You can’t be too greedy.” Also, “I’m very greedy.”
“People have birth certificates. He (Obama) doesn’t have a birth
certificate. He may have one but there’s something on that, maybe
religion, maybe it says he is a Muslim. I don’t know. Maybe he doesn’t
want that.”
“An ‘extremely credible source’ has called my office and told me that
Barack Obama’s birth certificate is a fraud.”
“I have people that have been studying (Obama’s birth certificate, in
Hawaii) and they cannot believe what they’re finding.”
“Many people do not think it (Obama’s birth certificate) was authentic.
His mother was not in the hospital. There are many other things that
came out.”
“How amazing, the State Health Director who verified copies of
Obama’s ‘birth certificate’ died in plane crash today. All others lived.”
“Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther
controversy. I finished it.
“I don’t respect most people, because I believe most people are not
worthy of respect.”
“I only acknowledge them (polls) when I’m winning.”

seemingly very happily married and important women, this book would
be a guaranteed best-seller.”
“Our African-American communities are absolutely in the worst shape
that they’ve ever been in before. Ever. Ever. Ever.”
“There is nothing like doing things with other people’s money.”
“If elected, Mr. Trump … would be the healthiest individual ever
elected to the Presidency…His health is excellent, especially his mental
health…his physical health and stamina are excellent.” Oh, I’m sorry,
that quote came not from Trump but from his gastroenterologist, Dr.
Bornstein.
“Actresses just call and see if they can go out with him and things.”
Another quote about Trump, by “John Miller.”
“Beautiful, important women call him all the time.” Another “John
Miller” quote, about his good friend Donald Trump.
“I mean he’s living with Marla and he’s got three other girlfriends...He
does things for himself. When he makes a decision, that will be a very
lucky woman.” Yet another quote by Trump publicist “John Miller.”

billions of dollars.”

daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”
“You know, I’m getting remarried, but Howard (Stern), vagina is
expensive.”
“I always wanted to get the Purple Heart.”
“Laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything
they can control.”

“I have not a racist bone in my body.”
“The people asking the questions (reporters)—those are the racists.”
“I think I am actually humble, I think I’m much more humble than you
would understand.”

What are we even having it for? What are we having it for? Her
policies are so bad.”
“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody,
okay, and I wouldn’t lose any voters.”
“How stupid are the voters of Iowa?” Looks like all-white heavily-
evangelist Iowa will go to Trump.

“I had some beautiful pictures taken in which I had a big smile on my
face. I looked happy, I looked content, I looked like a very nice person.
Which in theory I am.”

convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men &

people pour in, and we do nothing about it. Think of it. That’s what
