I know I shouldn't tempt the GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump any, but I'm amazed at how many groups of people he's taken shots at through a seemingly constant barrage of offensive remarks. Allow me to show the growing list:
1) Mexicans - "The U.S has become a dumping ground for everybody else's problems. Thank you. It's true, and these are the best and the finest. When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems to us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
2) Blacks - Trump retweeted a false meme on his Twitter account which had been originally posted by a white supremacist and said this:
"USA Crime Statistics - 2015
Blacks Killed By Whites - 2%
Blacks Killed By Police - 1%
Whites Killed By Police - 3%
Whites Killed By Whites - 16%
Whites Killed By Blacks - 81%
Blacks Killed By Blacks - 97%"
3) Black Lives Matter protesters - "The man that you say was, I don't know, you said roughed up - he was so obnoxious and screaming. I had 10,000 screaming people in the room yesterday. 10,000 people and this guy started screaming by himself, and I don't know. Roughed up? Maybe he should have been rouged up. Because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing."
4) Asians - "When these people walk into the room, they don't say, 'Oh hello, how's the weather? It's so beautiful outside. How are the Yankees doing? They're doing wonderful, that's great.' They say, 'We want deal!'"
5) Muslims - He's talked about shutting down mosques, profiling Muslims, not allowing Syrian refugees into the country, and even going so far as to prohibit all Muslims and Muslim-Americans (overseas) from visiting the U.S. The guy hasn't even shied away from requiring that Muslims possess a "special ID."
6) POWs - "He [John McCain] is not a war hero. He is a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured, OK? I hate to tell you. He is a war hero because he was captured. OK, you can have -- I believe perhaps he is a war hero."
7) The disabled - At a rally, Trump mocked reporter Serge Kovaleski, who suffers from a condition called arthrogryposis, by waving his arms in a way reminiscent of Kovaleski, whose condition limits the movement of his arms, as well as providing a voice which seemed to insinuate the reporter is mentally challenged.
8) Women - "Look at that face [Carly Fiorina's]. Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president? I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not supposed to say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?"
"You could see there was blood coming out of her [Megyn Kelly's] eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever."
"Heidi Klum. Sadly, she's no longer a 10."
9) Jews - "Stupidly, you want to give me money."
"You're not going to support me because I don't want your money."
"How many of you think you could have done it for less? I'm a negotiator, like you folks."
"Is there anyone in this room who doesn't negotiate deals? Probably more than any room I've ever spoken."
This doesn't even include disparaging comments he's made toward: Iowans, reporters, Seventh-Day Adventists, his GOP competitors, etc. So, the question now on everyone's mind, who's next?
