- In a 2005 video, Donald Trump: "A star can do anything with women, whatever"
- Comments: US controversy over Donald Trump's attacks on Senator McCain
- July 4. Trump launches and remembers on the Fourth of July how in 1775 the US rebels "took the airports"
It is unquestionable that the mind of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, is a fertile garden of ideas (sometimes crazy) and little elaborate insults. He has dedicated politically incorrect messages to many sectors and people inside and outside his country. On this occasion, he had the occurrence of asking his advisors in the White House to find out if it was possible to buy Greenland, to which the island's Foreign Minister, Ane Lone Bagger, has responded to this autonomous region - which belongs to Denmark - It is open "to trade, but we are not for sale".
Amid a tense economic climate in the United States over trade disputes with China, the president wanted to divert attention with this controversy over the purchase of Greenland. It is not the first time - and it seems that it will not be the last - that Trump focuses the media focus on himself when making misplaced statements or proposals. These are some of Donald Trump's most provocative tone outputs:
The taking of airports "in 1775"
During the celebrations of July 4 of this year, the most militarized for decades, Trump wanted to remember a story that never existed. The president explained how in 1775, the rebels fighting for the independence of the thirteen colonies of Great Britain "handled the air, destroyed the parapets and took the airports." The first plane was built in 1903, and the first 'protoairport' - a meadow conditioned to land and take off planes - was not installed until 1909.
Women you can "grab them by the pussy"
The billionaire president has never been especially skilled at making respectful statements towards women. He has been criticized several times for his controversial macho gestures, such as the one he had with Emmanuel Macron's wife, Brigitte Macron, who, on an official visit to France, said: "You are in very good shape." Then he repeated the observation to the French president and, addressing the first lady gala again, sentenced: "Beautiful."
However, this has not been the most serious comment that the president has directed towards the opposite sex. The newspaper 'Washington Post' revealed, during the 2016 presidential campaign, a video in which Donald Trump boasted of being able to kiss women and reach out without asking before, in addition to seducing any of them for the fact of be famous. In this 2005 conversation with Billy Bush, host of the television program 'Access Hollywood' and family of the two former presidents Bush, the billionaire businessman said: "I am automatically attracted to the beautiful ones and I begin to kiss them. It's like a magnet I kiss them. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Whatever you want. Grab them by the pussy. Whatever. "
The late Republican Senator John McCain quickly withdrew his support for Trump's run to the White House and said the billionaire should "suffer the consequences" of his words. "Donald Trump's behavior makes it impossible to continue offering even conditional support for his candidacy," he said. He added: "No woman should be victimized by this type of inappropriate behavior."
John McCain "is not a war hero"
John McCain, son and grandson of decorated admirals, graduated from the Naval School of Annapolis in 1960. In the middle of that decade, he volunteered to participate in flights that bombed North Vietnam at low altitude during the war. In 1967, his plane was shot down near Hanoi. In the accident, he broke both arms and one leg. The North Vietnamese forces took him prisoner and, when they learned that he was the son of one of the highest-ranking US sailors, they wanted to use him as a blackmail weapon. McCain rejected all offers and did not regain freedom until March 14, 1973, two months after the ceasefire agreement.
Despite the war history of the Republican senator - who passed away a year ago - Donald Trump wanted to stain the military reputation of his party partner, stating that McCain "is not a war hero." "He was considered a war hero because he was captured. I like those who were not captured," he said in a campaign act.
John McCain answered him some time later with an undercover attack, in which he reproached that certain rich people should think about them to avoid serving in conflict. The former presidential candidate said some people were looking for doctors "who said they had osteophytes (abnormal growth of some bones)." The US president received five military postponements to not serve in the Vietnam War. Four claimed academic reasons and one pointed out that Trump had osteophytes on his heels.
Donald Trump did not attend the funeral of the senator, who died as a result of brain cancer, and only published a brief tweet in which he expressed his "deepest sympathies and respect for the family of John McCain."
Encontronazos with Kim Jong Un and other leaders
"Why would Kim Jong Un insult me by calling me old when I would never call him short and fat?" Donald Trump said when North Korean public media called him "lunatic old man" during his tour of Japan, China, Korea South and Vietnam in 2017.
Kim Jong Un, in a continuous diplomatic tug of war with Trump, received far harsher words from the US president. In January 2018, the American president wrote on Twitter: "Kim Jong Un has said that the nuclear button is on his desk all the time. Could someone from his hungry and depleted regime tell him that I also have a button, but that mine is much bigger and more powerful than yours, and what works? "
Kim has not been the only one who has received the insults of Donald Trump, who has also lashed out at Meghan Markle, who said she "did not know it was so unpleasant" when she announced that she would not interrupt her maternity leave to receive the president from the US, on his official visit to the United Kingdom. Before flying to London, the mayor of the British capital, Sadiq Khan, said Trump speaks "like the fascists of the twentieth century," to which he responded by calling him "a complete loser."
The former British representative in the United States also did not escape Trump's jaws. "Nutty", "stupid" and "silly pompous" were some of the qualifications with which the US president described Kim Darroch when reports were revealed in which the then US ambassador transmitted to the British Executive that Trump was "inept" , "insecure" and "incompetent." London later apologized for the leak - not for the messages - and Darroch ended up resigning.
Mexico sends the US to "criminals and rapists"
If Donald Trump is known for anything, it is for his racist messages. At a 2015 rally, he said that Mexico does not send the US "to the best, but to people who have problems." According to the billionaire, those who arrive from that country are "rapists" and "bring drugs and crimes."
Trump's anger is not only directed against Mexican migrants, but has also attacked those of other nationalities. "Why do we want Haitians here? Why do we want all those people in Africa here? Why do we receive people from shitty countries?" Trump said during a meeting to renegotiate the program that grants legal residence to immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries, in January 2018. In addition, he added that these places were "crap holes" and suggested that he would prefer to receive more immigrants from Norway in the United States instead of those in those countries.
