Most “Notable” Comments By Trump And Pence

Donald Trump is a man of many words.  Often, too many.

Here’s a collection some of the most “notable” ones.

One can judge by reading the word-for-word quotes of what he has said in the past decades to decide whether he is fit, or unfit, to become the President of the United States.

 

QUOTE OF THE MONTH:

“I moved on her, actually. You know …. I moved on her, and I failed. I’ll admit it… I did try and f**k her. She was married.”

“You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything…. Grab ’em by the pu**y. You can do anything.” Excerpt of video tape released on Oct 7, 2016.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/08/us/donald-trump-tape-transcript.html

EC (Editor’s Comment): On a live mic – admitting to committing sexual assaults on women at will a decade ago.  He later claimed that he has since changed.  Ask yourself: As President of the United States, what wouldn’t he do?

On Democrats:

“I’ve been around for a long time, and it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans – now it shouldn’t be that way, but if you go back, I mean it seems that the economy does better under the Democrats … and we certainly have had some pretty bad disasters under the Republicans.” CNN, Mar 21, 2004 [prior to the next economic meltdown in 2008 under George W. Bush, and then recovered during Barack Obama’s two terms with unemployment down to 5%]

On Obama:

“President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period.” – Miami, Florida Sept. 16, 2016

On Economy and Taxes:

“The 45 percent tax is a threat. It was not a tax, it was a threat. It will be a tax if they don’t behave. Take China as an example. I have many friends, great manufacturers, they want to go into China. They can’t. China won’t let them. We talk about free trade. It’s not tree free trade, it’s stupid trade…. What will happen if they don’t behave, we will put on a tax of some amount, and it could be a large amount, and we will start building those factories and those plants. Instead of in China, we’ll build them here. And people will buy products from here, rather than buying it through China where we’re being ripped off.”  Miami, FL Republican Debate, March 15, 2016
