10 Of The Most Obnoxious Donald Trump Quotes Ever
Donald Trump keeps putting his foot in his mouth.

But he won the election and is now pursuing reelection for his second term, with a plethora of Donald Trump quotes to go along with it.
He, Melania, and Barron Trump live in the White House. Even the Don and Melania may not have the perfect marriage that they try to portray in public.
Is the President gaslighting the American people? Or is he just trying to help the American people as best as he can?
It is true that President Trump may not be so graceful when he addresses the American people, but at least he is talking to us and is being as transparent as he possibly can. Still, it can be hard for us to like listening to him if we see his style of address as too hostile and argumentative.
Well, it is just Trump just being, well ... Trump.
He does try to get quick publicity, but he really doesn't need it; he is always in front of a camera addressing the people. He is always looking to gain support in the polls, and he even plays into shock value because he fully knows that it doesn't really hurt his reputation with his supporters — and he has done the exact same thing before in other scenarios.
At the first Presidential Debate, President Trump told the Proud Boys to stand by, which has caused many to question if he actually does condemn white supremacy, which he has done before and did in the days after the debate, albeit not directly.
Even some of his own party do not like him. But he does have celebrities that publically support him.
When Trump shared his views on immigration, a lot of people were not happy, especially immigrants. Trump isn't immigration-friendly and is continuing to build the wall on the Mexico-United States border, even though, ironcailly, the Mexican border is currently closed to the U.S.
After several Hispanic groups took offense at his statements in 2016, NBC and Univision ended their relationships with Trump. NBC aired both The Apprentice and the Miss USA pageant, so this wasn't exactly great news for Trump.
The President and the First Lady have recently tested positive for coronavirus, so this is something currently keeping him from going out and interacting with the people; however, he is still trying to be in the public eye as much as possible with videos and camera appearances, taking a ride in the back of a Secret Service vehicle to wave to his "fans."
Even some of his staff and closest advisors have tested positive for coronavirus, though he doesn't seem to be concerned.
The thing is, people shouldn't be surprised. Whether or not you agree with him, Trump has always said crazy things. That's his thing. He likes shock value because it is what people remember.
If you haven't figured out by now whether or not you agree with his views, you haven't been paying attention.
