Just in case you have been living under a rock I am here to be the bearer of bad news and inform you that elections are coming soon. However, this presidential election is different from most, it's more entertaining. Well, almost all presidential elections are entertaining but this one takes the cake. Why? Republican candidate, Donald Trump, has been causing a frenzy with his controversial remarks on political issues. Before running for presidency, Trump was a real estate mogul, and an entertainer for the hit show, Apprentice. Donald Trump and controversial remarks is nothing new, even before his run for presidency he has been known to say the darndest things. The current and significant problem is that people encourage a candidate who says the darndest things to not only be the head of the country, but also, a representative of us (or U.S.) as a whole. So her is a short list of some of the most outlandish and controversial remarks and moments.

1. Trump said John Mccain was not a war hero

Donald Trump discredited John Mccain as a war hero saying, "He was not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured." This is coming from someone whose only military experience is military school.

2. He mocked a disabled reporter.

When Donald Trump tried to reenact a conversation between he and reporter, he mocked New York Times', Serge Kovaleski, who has arthrogryposis.

3. A history of racist remarks about Blacks and Hispanics

Donald Trump is no stranger to Twitter, moreover he is no stranger to speaking his mind, no matter how racist they may be. In a tweet posted Jun 5th, 2013, Trump stated "Sadly, the overwhelming amount of violent crime in our major cities is committed by blacks and hispanics-a tough subject-must be discussed." This is one of the many tweets in which Trump blames minorities for crime.

4. Even more racist remarks about Muslims.

Donald Trump's plan when (if) he gets into office is to ban all Muslim immigration. Those who are already here can stay but that have to be under close watch. If this sounds familiar to you, that's because American had done this already to Japanese Americans. Did someone say Flash History Lesson time? In the early 20th century, Americans were intimidated by Japanese immigrants taking jobs. So after a lot pressure, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Immigration Act of 1924. This Act banned all Japanese immigration, this in return, offended the Japanese government. Believe it or not, this was a small but significant catalyst to WW2 and we all know that history tends to repeat itself.

5. He's not pretty good with the ladies.

Donald Trump has had a history of sexist comments not only during his run for presidency, but also as an entertainer. One of the most outrageous was his comment on military rape. In a tweet, Trump said "26,000 unreported sexual assults in the military-only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?"

6. Global Warming is a hoax.

According to Donald Trump, global warming is not a real thing. In fact he thinks "the concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive." It's safe to assume that Trump isn't ecofriendly.

Well there you have it, a very small list of idiotic statements and things Donald Trump. The thing about this is that we should not be surprised at Donald Trump's antics because he is an entertainer and this is what they do, entertain. The elephant in the room is that citizens encourage him to be the President of this country.
