Donald Trump on the Republican presidential candidate election campaign. he's an idiot and here's just a few unbelievable quotes and tweets from the man with real hair.
The Donald Trump presidential campaign, 2016, formally launched on June 16, 2015.[3] Donald Trump, a businessman and television personality, announced his candidacy for President of the United States in the 2016 election at the Trump Tower in New York City with the slogan "Make America Great Again!"[4] His campaign manager is Corey Lewandowski.[5]
Trump's opposition to immigration, free trade, and military interventionism[6][7][8][9] earned him support among Republican working-class voters, especially blue-collar voters.[10] His proposed policies and his statements about the state of the country have propelled him to be the consistent Republican front-runner in public opinion polls.[11][12][13][14][15] Many of his remarks have been highly controversial among the public, other political candidates, the media, and Trump's business partners, some of whom have ended their business relationships with him as a result. His campaign has been extensively covered by most mainstream media sources, allowing him to eschew large campaign contributions and supporting political action committees (super PAC's), which Trump has criticized along with politicians who use them.[16][17] His abstention from political correctness has been a staple theme of his campaign, and has proved to be popular among his supporters.[18][19] Trump's most polarizing and widely reported statements have been on issues of immigration and border security, on which he has proposed deportation of all illegal immigrants, construction of a substantial wall on the Mexican–American border, and a temporary ban on alien Muslims entering the U.S.,[20] while speaking extensively about perceived issues pertaining to illegal immigrants traveling over the Mexican border into the U.S.[21][22]
Trump's campaign rallies have attracted large crowds, as well as public controversy. Some of the events have been marked by incidents of violence against protesters by Trump supporters, mistreatment of some journalists, and disruption by a large group of protesters who effectively shut down a major rally in Chicago. Trump said he himself wished to punch protesters, and has defended their ejection from his events, but has also said he hopes that he has not encouraged physical force to subdue or remove protesters.[23][24] Trump is opposed to the generous protection currently afforded to journalists against legal accusations of libel. His comments were made at a Feb 26, 2016 rally in Ft. Worth, Texas,[25] and repeated in a televised interview.[26]
As of mid-March, Trump is the clear Republican frontrunner having won 19 states and one U.S. territory and accumulating 673 convention delegates. In a March report by the Economist Intelligence Unit forecasting global risks for the month of April[27], due to the "moderate probability" and "high impact" of a Trump presidency, his possible presidency ranked among the top 10 risks.[28]
