10 Things Trump Has Said That Will Make You Cringe: The Man Behind The Stands

Between speaking about countries like Russia and Mexico, Hillary Clinton and women in general, Donald Trump, the republican nominee, has horrified our population and caused many young Americans to be afraid of him.

The billionaire's unique way of providing information to the voters has gotten him in trouble before, but every time he opens his mouth- it leaves people in a state of immense anger, embarrassment, and nervousness for what our country will become.

Recently, we have gotten more information on his past, and how he tries to justify what he publicly said. Perhaps people will eventually get it through their heads that he is a manipulative, selfish man.

1. “If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her” (The View, 2006)

Little explanation needed. He is a perverted old man, and I will never understand why people are still thinking about voting for this guy.


2. “I mean, we could say politically correct that look doesn’t matter, but the look obviously matters… like you wouldn’t have your job if you weren’t beautiful.”(The Strip View 2014)

Another day, another insult.


3. "If Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?" (Twitter, 2015 – deleted afterwards)

I don’t even want to know who gave him permission to tweet this. Besides, the majority of twitter is teenagers who can’t even vote yet- so who are you trying to impress, Trump?


4. “I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.”

Go ahead, build that wall, see where that gets you.


5. “I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke.”

Good thing the election has nothing to do with how you feel about other peoples' appearances.


6.  “Number one, I have great respect for women. I was the one that really broke the glass ceiling on behalf of women, more than anybody in the construction industry.”

Really? "Great respect" sure makes sense. Remember that tweet about Hillary satisfying her husband?


7. "I'm a gentleman."

At the second presidential debate, Trump said this to Hillary Clinton as a member of the town hall asked a question. This was probably the first time he didn't interrupt her and throw a tantrum about speaking time.


8. "This is locker room talk."

He denied that his remarks about sexual assaulting women were meant to be serious, he added, "you hear these things." Locker room talk? What, so bragging about sexually abusing women is a discussion to be held in a locker room, or a discussion in general?


9. "But you have people coming in and I'm not just saying Mexicans, I'm talking about people that are all over that are killers and rapists and they're coming into this country."

Building a wall will certainly get rid of those killers, huh?


10. "Sadly, the overwhelming amount of violent crime in our major cities is committed by blacks and Hispanic -a tough subject-must be discussed."

Simple fact: you can't correlate race and ethnicity with violent crime across the country. He connects it in such a blunt fashion, then claims he isn't racist. He is more concerned with blaming specific groups of people than he is with solving the problem.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
